As the name implies, the nose facing the sky means that the nose is up, the nose is much exposed, and the bridge of the nose is short. Nose facing the sky is the result of poor development of nasal bone and cartilage, which is a common nasal deformity. A large proportion of orientals face the sky and nose.

It is mainly the result of the dysplasia of nasal bone and cartilage, that is, the angle between the tip of the nose and the lips is above 1 10. The typical characteristics are that the tip of the nose is inclined, the nostrils are upward, the nostrils are exposed more, and the bridge of the nose is short.

The main way of nose correction is to extend the length of nasal septum cartilage. The nasal septum cartilage and alar cartilage were separated by open incision during the operation. At the same time, the cartilage below the nasal septum or auricular cartilage is taken out as the material to prolong the cartilage of the nasal septum. Through some auxiliary operations, such as rhinoplasty and nasal tip cartilage transplantation, the length of the nose can also be increased and the degree of nose facing the sky can be reduced.

There are three methods of rhinoplasty: cartilage transplantation, bilateral alar cartilage inner foot close to the tip of nose, and alar base wedge resection.
