The cartilage at the lower end of the back of the nose hangs down, the outer nose is wide and long, and the tip of the nose bends slightly like an eagle's mouth, so it is called aquiline nose. Such patients are often accompanied by an obvious hump in the middle of the back of the nose, which looks like a camel's peak, so it is also called camel's hump nose. This deformity is generally caused by family or ethnic factors, some of which are local overgrowth of the nose, and a few are caused by ossification of subperiosteal hematoma after nasal bone trauma. Because "aquiline nose" often gives people a sinister impression and is not liked by people. The "aquiline nose" can be corrected by surgery.

The aquiline nose generally protrudes upward, often accompanied by a wide nose. When the protrusion is serious, the protruding bone can be cut off with a bone file, and then the width of the bridge of the nose can be reduced (osteotomy). When the aquiline nose is not serious, the protruding part should be worn off, and the aquiline nose should be corrected by augmentation rhinoplasty with prosthesis such as silica gel, and the drooping tip of the nose should be lifted slightly.

There are two key points in the correction of aquiline nose: one is to smooth the alternating parts of prominent bones and cartilage, and the other is to improve the relatively drooping nose tip, thus correcting the overall contour. The main methods to correct humpback are cutting and grinding. According to the specific situation, a prosthesis conforming to the curve of the bridge of the nose is placed on the bridge of the nose, so as to change the contour and achieve the effect of correction.

Indications for correcting aquiline nose:

1, the bulge of the lower part of the nasal bone widened.

2. The cartilage of nasal septum is too long.

3. The medial foot of lateral nasal cartilage and alar cartilage is too long.

Operation mode of aquiline nose correction:

1, eagle hook is not too serious, nose is not wide:

This situation can be easily corrected by removing the hook and implanting a prosthesis or dilator on it. At this time, the eagle hook was not completely taken out, and only implantation can have a good effect.

2, the eagle hook is serious and the nose is enlarged.

In this case, after the hook is exposed, cartilage and nasal bone are removed, and a fracture line is artificially formed at the nasal bone. After that, the broken nasal bone was pushed in and reduced, and satisfactory correction results were obtained. Most people are very satisfied with the result of the operation. Although it is necessary to artificially fracture the nasal bone, there is no need to be too afraid. Proper use of sleep anesthesia and local anesthesia can make the operation unnecessary for general anesthesia.
