What does saddle nose mean?
Saddle nose is a deformity in which the nose is lower than the normal height and the back of the nose is sunken to varying degrees.

Flat nose, also known as saddle nose. It can be divided into mild, moderate and severe. The collapsed nose is lower than the normal height, and the back of the nose is deformed to varying degrees, but the tip of the nose is saddle-shaped, hence the name. Most of them are caused by trauma, infection, congenital malformation, or excessive cartilage resection during nasal septum surgery.

Mild: the bridge of the nose is low and the tip of the nose is large, and it can be tilted at a certain height. Moderate: the back of the nose is obviously sunken, the root of the nose is wide, the nostrils are facing the sky, the tip of the nose and the columella are low and flat, and the nose is short. Serious: the back of the nose is seriously sunken, and there is almost no bridge of the nose. The bony structure of the external nose, the cartilage of the nasal septum and the nasal mucosa are all deformed. Saddle nose is mostly caused by trauma and infection, and it is also seen in congenital developmental malformation. Traumatic saddle nose is mostly caused by depressed fracture of nasal bone that has not been properly treated, or excessive cartilage resection during nasal septum operation.

Correction method:

Autologous filling: This is a safe, traditional and very reliable surgical method. By selecting the material in the body (generally refers to cartilage tissue such as costal cartilage or ilium). Carve according to the filling model of the nose, then make an incision at the nostril, transplant the carved autologous material under the skin, and finally, after overall modification, the incision can be processed into a satisfactory appearance.

Biomedical filling: This is the most widely used technology. Biomedical materials such as solid silicone rubber and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene for rhinoplasty. Because there are many kinds of biomedical materials, they need to be selected according to their own different situations, which greatly reduces the pain of beauty seekers themselves.
