Hook nose

Introduction Eagle hook nose: also known as nodular nose, refers to the upper end of the bridge of the nose has a convex shape, resembling a hump or nodular shape, a little hook on the tip of the nose. In the Western cartoons, the sinister and insidious wizards have such noses, so many people want to change this situation. The eagle hook nose generally does not affect the function of the nose and mainly affects the appearance, especially when viewed from the side. At present, the modern cosmetic surgery has reached a near perfect level for the correction of the hook nose. There are two key points in eagle hook nose correction: one is to eliminate the overlapping parts of the protruding bones and cartilage to make it smooth, and the other is to improve the relative drooping nose tip, so as to achieve the effect of correcting the overall contour. The method of correcting the hump nose mainly includes the method of cutting and grinding. According to the specific situation, a prosthesis conforming to the bridge of the nose can be placed on the bridge of the nose, thereby changing the contour to achieve the correcting effect.
