Can pinching a baby’s nose help it grow straighter?

Everyone wants to have a straight nose bridge, which can better modify the face shape. In life, some parents find that the baby's nose bridge is relatively flat, so they often pinch the baby's nose, trying to make the baby's nose bridge straighter in this way. It should be noted that frequently pinching the baby's nose bridge is risky, such as it may cause otitis media and may damage the nasal cavity, so be cautious. So, can pinching the baby's nose make it straighter?

Can pinching a baby’s nose help it grow straighter?

Big eyes and a high nose bridge are always the hallmarks of handsome men and beautiful women. In order to ensure that children do not lose at the starting line from an early age, there is a saying circulating in many places: pinch the nose bridge of a newborn baby, and the baby's nose will become high and straight in the future. Is this approach feasible?

Big eyes and a high nose bridge are always the hallmarks of handsome men and beautiful women. In order to ensure that children do not lose at the starting line from an early age, there is a saying circulating in many places: pinch the nose of a newborn baby, and the baby's nose will become high and straight in the future. Many parents follow suit and practice it. Even Sun Li once said in an interview that her nose was very flat when she was a child, so she used a clip to clamp it, and later it became high and straight. After seeing this, are you also moved? Don't be anxious, read the report in full. Sun Li did have a flat nose when she was a child, but both her parents have high noses, so it's her genes.

So is it feasible to start pinching the baby's nose when he is an infant?

The neighbor's daughter Duoduo has always been in good health, but recently she has been sneezing all the time and the medicine has not helped. After examination, the doctor found that she did not have a cold but rhinitis. It turned out that Duoduo's grandmother wanted to make her nose straighter while the child was still young, so she had been pinching her nose recently. Unexpectedly, her good intentions led to bad results.

The height of the baby's nose bridge is actually related to genes

Gene decoding experts said that pinching and clipping to make the bridge of the nose higher is basically ineffective. If you want to make the bridge of the nose higher, you can only have plastic surgery. In fact, during infancy, the baby's nose bridge is very flat. After the baby's anterior fontanelle closes between 1 and 1.5 years old, the facial bones and nasal bones begin to grow and develop rapidly, and the nose bridge slowly grows out. The changes in the nasal bones will continue to develop until puberty when they become mature. This is the reason why people often say “girls change a lot when they grow up”. Generally, the face will not be completely finalized until after puberty.

In fact, genetic factors are an important factor that determines the height of the nose bridge. Generally speaking, people with high, straight noses and wide nostrils have dominant inheritance. If one of the parents has a straight nose, the possibility of passing it on to the child is very high. Secondly, factors such as development speed, early nutrition, and nasal trauma also play a big role. Currently, there is no definite scientific evidence to prove that frequently pinching and lifting the nose bone can make the nose straighter. However, if you pinch your baby's nose frequently, it is likely to cause adverse consequences. Some babies may have a low nose bridge which may be a sign of illness. They should seek medical attention promptly instead of pinching the nose bridge. This condition is often accompanied by symptoms such as slow physical development and intellectual disability. Therefore, it is very necessary to conduct a timely genetic test on the baby's health after the newborn is born.

Gene decoding studies the relationship between common health risks in children and genetic information, analyzes each child's unique susceptibility gene loci, and evaluates each child's ability to resist a certain disease, thereby providing personalized health advice for the baby's growth. Through the Future Star Growth and Care gene decoding, we deliver new disease diagnosis methods to reduce the misdiagnosis rate, issue personalized health guidance plans, safeguard the healthy growth of children, find the health risk factors hidden in the genes, become a personalized private health consultant for each baby, and write a personalized life manual for each baby.
