Introduction
For those wishing to alter the shape of their nose, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo implant rhinoplasty under the guidance of a qualified physician. This procedure involves inserting appropriate implant materials to augment the nasal bridge or reshape the nasal tip, thereby changing the overall nasal contour. The typical reference cost for implant rhinoplasty ranges from 20,002 to 50,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement generally observed around two weeks after surgery.

In general, pinching the nose does not make it larger. The detailed explanation is as follows:

The appearance and shape of the nose are primarily determined by its internal bony structure and cartilage, which provide structural support. These hard tissues are relatively stable and not easily altered by external forces. The pressure applied when pinching mainly affects the skin and soft tissues. Although these tissues have some elasticity and plasticity, any deformation caused by normal pinching is typically temporary. Once the external force is removed, the skin and soft tissues quickly return to their original shape due to their elastic recovery properties. Therefore, pinching the nose does not cause it to become progressively larger. However, prolonged or excessive pinching may unnecessarily irritate or damage the nasal skin and soft tissues, potentially leading to inflammation or other problems. For this reason, it is advisable to avoid frequent or forceful pinching of the nose in daily life to protect the health and shape stability of the nasal skin.

If you wish to alter the shape of your nose, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and consult a qualified physician about undergoing augmentation rhinoplasty with implants. This procedure involves inserting suitable prosthetic materials to raise the nasal bridge or reshape the nasal tip, thereby changing the overall appearance of the nose. The typical reference cost for implant rhinoplasty ranges from 20,000 to 50,000 yuan per session. Results are generally noticeable within 1 to 3 weeks after surgery, although potential complications such as infection may occur.
