Is the collapsed nose inherited from the parents?

It is said that children will inherit many things from their parents, including temperament, appearance, personality, etc. So many times when a child has a flat nose, people say that it is inherited from his parents. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. As a child grows, his nose sometimes develops slowly, but it will grow taller as he grows older. If the child's facial features are roughly similar to his parents, it is still possible.

Is the collapsed nose hereditary?

1. In fact, a child's facial features are often influenced by genes. For example, if the mother's nose is like his, your nose may have the same phenomenon. But sometimes we can also improve it through various methods. Not to mention when the child is just born, if the nose has this phenomenon, you can use your hands to gently restore it and smooth it out, which will also give a very straight effect.

2. Although parents' appearance may directly affect their children's genetic inheritance, it can sometimes be changed. It does not mean that their children's noses will be flat if their mother's nose is flat, and it does not necessarily mean that their father's nose is straight. Your noses will also be flat, because children may inherit some facial features of their parents after birth, but not all.

3. Nowadays, many people may have plastic surgery. If the child born does not look like both parents, it may have a certain impact and cause certain suspicion. Therefore, the facial features of some children are greatly affected. The inherited facial features of parents also play a big role.

The harm of pinching the nose bridge of children

1. Damage to the nasal cavity and aggravation of infection

There are abundant capillaries in the nasal cavity of infants and young children. If parents frequently pinch the baby's nose bridge, it is very easy to damage the nasal mucosa and cause blood vessel damage. Once invaded by bacteria or viruses, it will not only affect the baby's normal breathing, but also cause respiratory diseases.

2. Cause cross-eyes

Although the baby's vision is not fully developed after birth. But when mom or dad pinches the baby's nose, at such a close distance, the baby will subconsciously look at your hand or resist your hand. In this way, the baby's nose bridge will not become straighter, but the baby will develop the habit of crossing his eyes or scratching his eyes.

3. Inducing otitis media

The connection between the nasal cavity and the middle ear is called the Eustachian tube. When parents pinch their baby's nose, the secretions carrying bacteria in the nose may penetrate into the middle ear through the Eustachian tube and cause a middle ear infection.

4. Local skin susceptible to infection

The baby's skin is delicate and sensitive. Frequent external stimulation and parents' failure to clean their hands properly will cause infection of the skin on the bridge of the nose. Even if parents' hands are clean and hygienic, local pigmentation will still occur over time. This will not only fail to achieve a cosmetic effect, but will also make the baby's appearance ugly.
