The main reasons for nasal tip enlargement after hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty include: excessive injection of hyaluronic acid, causing it to migrate along both sides of the nasal bridge and resulting in a wider, larger nose; inadequate shaping technique by unqualified or non-specialist practitioners, and failure to properly mold the nose immediately after injection, leading to poor nasal contour; and over time, as hyaluronic acid is gradually absorbed and softened within the body, it may diffuse and also contribute to nasal widening and enlargement. To avoid these issues, it is recommended to undergo hyaluronic acid injections at professional medical institutions performed by qualified physicians.
