Introduction
Plastic surgery involves risks. Since plastic surgery is still surgery, there are inherent risks involved, which can mainly be divided into three categories: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative risks. Preoperative risks are primarily determined by the patient. For instance, if a patient has nasal congestion, slight depression at the nasal root, or mild low nasal bridge, minor adjustments can be made by injecting hyaluronic acid filler into the nasal root area to help lift the nose.

In daily life, an increasing number of women feel troubled by facial imperfections, with a low nasal bridge being one of the most common concerns. To enhance their facial appearance, many choose cosmetic surgery to address such flaws. So, how can a flat or sunken nose be corrected through rhinoplasty?

How to Correct a Flat Nose

If there is mild nasal bridge depression and the root of the nose is slightly low, minor correction can be achieved by injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the nasal root area, which helps elevate the nose. For individuals with longer noses and relatively thick subcutaneous soft tissue, silicone implants or other bulk materials can be sculpted and placed within the subcutaneous nasal space to achieve a more pronounced augmentation effect. In cases of severely underdeveloped noses—such as those with a low, flat nasal tip—and for patients seeking a significantly higher and longer nasal profile—autologous rib cartilage or ear cartilage may be harvested, carefully carved, and implanted into the nasal subcutaneous space, potentially achieving superior aesthetic results.

Cosmetic surgery involves risks. Since rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, it inherently carries certain risks, which can be categorized into three stages: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative. Preoperative risks are often related to patient expectations. For example, if a patient has unrealistic expectations about the outcome, they may remain dissatisfied regardless of the actual surgical result, leading to psychological distress. Intraoperative risks include anesthesia-related complications and bleeding. Anesthesia complications, such as allergic reactions to drugs, can even be life-threatening. Excessive or uncontrolled bleeding during surgery, or incomplete hemostasis, may negatively affect surgical outcomes.

Women should pay attention: when considering cosmetic surgery, it is essential to choose a reputable and正规 medical institution to avoid serious harm to the body. We hope this information has been helpful. Wishing you good health and happiness in life!
