What can be done if a child's nose is slightly flat?

Patient's question:

What can be done if a child's nose is slightly flat? The child has had this condition for a long time, and I am very worried about it, fearing it may worsen. Please give me some advice.

Doctor's answer:

If the bridge of the nose is very flat, it can significantly affect appearance. Therefore, many parents become very concerned when they see their child's flat nose bridge. In reality, for younger children, a flat nose bridge is normal, and as they grow older, their noses will naturally develop a bridge over time. Pinching a baby's nose bridge can gradually make their flat nose bridge straighter. Whether a nose is straight is primarily related to genetics. It is actually very difficult to make a baby's nose straight through external force, and it may also cause unnecessary harm to the baby. Therefore, it is recommended to let nature take its course.
