Facial Plastic Surgery

Asian Rhinoplasty

For Asian rhinoplasty clients, a less-defined nose with a slightly rounded tip may be recommended to preserve a natural ethnic appearance. However, there is no one-size-fits-all ideal Asian nose. The purpose of the procedure is to work individually on each client’s natural features in a manner that enhances overall facial appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does rhinoplasty recovery take?

For most clients, it takes approximately six weeks for your nose to fully heal after a rhinoplasty.

2. What results can I expect?

Results vary person to person, and are greatly driven by both the medical and aesthetic outcomes we are targeting. If expectations are realistic the aim is for both a symmetrical well-proportioned nose, and resolution of medical conditions that were discussed.

3. Common problems that require secondary rhinoplasty:

• Nasal airway obstruction

• The collapse of cartilage or nasal bones

• Artificial cosmetic appearance to the nose (“overdone nose job”)

• Internal and external nasal valve collapse

• Worsened asymmetry

• Over reduction or inadequate reduction of dorsal height (bridge height/hump)

• Incomplete shaping (not enough of a cosmetic change)

• Excessive or inadequate tip projection

• Excessively narrowed nasal tip (“pinched tip”)

• Excessive internal and/or external scarring (thickened scar tissue)
