Can pinching the bridge of the nose make it taller?

For female friends who love beauty, you all want to have a perfect figure. If your height meets the standard, it can greatly enhance your self-confidence. Therefore, some female friends will use various methods to increase their height. However, there are always some people who think that pinching the bridge of the nose can increase height. In fact, pinching the bridge of the nose cannot increase height. This is mainly because height is related to our genes and has little to do with the bridge of the nose. Therefore, pinching the bridge of the nose cannot increase height.

The development of the nose bridge is mainly related to the genetic genotype. Pinching the nose bridge will not make it higher. If you want to make your nose higher, you usually have to go to the plastic surgery department of the hospital for surgery.

The nose has a huge impact on our appearance. If the nose bridge is very low, the whole face will have no three-dimensional sense. Some people want to have a high nose bridge, but are afraid of surgery, so they hope to make the nose bridge higher by pinching it. Is this effective?

From the perspective of anatomical structure, the human nose support structure includes: two nasal bones and five cartilages (lateral nasal cartilage, alar cartilage, nasal septum cartilage, etc.). The nasal bone is the main bone that determines the height of the nose bridge, while the cartilage plays a lesser role.

There is a saying among the people that "pinching the bridge of the nose from a young age can make the nose taller". On the one hand, this is because before a child matures, long-term kneading and stimulation will lead to local tissue hyperplasia, achieving the effect of slightly improving the shape of the nose bridge. On the other hand, the development process of children's nose bridge is longer. When the nose bridge is not developed in early childhood, it is thought to be flat. It is common for the nose bridge to improve after development. However, after people reach adulthood, their bodies have matured, and it is not feasible to improve the height and shape of the nose bridge by kneading it with external force.

Trying to make the bridge of the nose higher by pinching or clipping is basically ineffective. If you want to make your nose bridge higher, you can only have plastic surgery. “Although the bridge of the nose is made of cartilage, the future appearance of the nose is determined by genetic genes at birth. Although people are highly plastic when they are young, not every part can be ‘shaped’.

The bones of the nose bridge cannot be changed. Many people have flat noses when they are young, but because their parents inherit the high nose gene, as they grow older, their noses gradually develop and a high nose bridge will develop. Some parents think that their children's noses will become higher if they are pinched, but in fact it is the result of their own development. In short, parents must not perform body shaping on their baby during the infant stage, as this will affect the baby's physique due to the baby's incomplete development.

A collapsed nose bridge is medically known as a saddle nose. "Pinching can make it higher" means that regular pinching can slightly change the nose bridge under the skin, but the change will not be very obvious. If the saddle nose is obvious, it will not be able to achieve the purpose of alleviating the appearance. The plastic surgery for a saddle nose mainly involves making a small incision inside the nose and padding a small piece of your own bone or silicone to make the nose look better and more beautiful. It has no effect on the body and no incision on the facial appearance, so it is an option.

It is not advisable to make the nose bridge higher by pinching it. Basically, you will not see any effect, so there is no need to waste your energy. If you don’t have a naturally high nose bridge, you can only create a high nose bridge for yourself through rhinoplasty surgery.
