Creating the Illusion of a Longer Nose
Hello,
Augmentation of the nasal dorsum will help build up the bridge. This can be accomplished by wrapping diced cartilage in temporalis fascia harvested from the scalp. Additional modifications can include refining the nasal tip while increasing projection and rotation, and narrowing the nasal bridge. Thank you, and I hope this helps answer your question.

Asian rhinoplasty to create illusion of a longer nose
Asian rhinoplasty creates the illusion of a longer nose by placing a silastic implant on top of the nasal bridge, which adds height to the nasal dorsum and length to the entire nose.

Making longer nose with Asian Rhinoplasty
The rhinoplasty technique of augmenting the bridge can define the nose if the bridge is low and flat.
It is also possible to counter-rotate (make less upturned) or further project the tip or which will also lengthen the nose overall.

What Asian Rhinoplasty Procedures Gives the Illusion of a Longer Nose?
Asian noses are often low, in profile as well as shortened which is another way of saying the nasal tip is over rotated. To raise the nasal bridge, I prefer using straight silastic dorsal implants. These won't dissolve like rib cartilage or bone and come in numerous sizes. Conchal cartilage grafts can then be used to improve the nasal tip shape during the Rhinoplasty.

Asian Rhinoplasty? Consider Non-surgical Rhinoplasty
Hi there.
For some Asian patients raising the bridge a bit + refining and raising the tip ( giving the illusion of narrowing) is all that is needed.
That said, depending on your taste, a non -surgical or filler rhinoplasty may satisfy you.
To get a reasonable impression,do have computer imaging whereby the surgeon show you--- on a computer screen-- the result he or she believes he can deliver for you. If you like what you see, then ask " How will this be done? Can it be done...

Asian rhinoplasty techniques to proivde length and definition
The most sure methods to increase length to an Asian nose is to add an implant to the nasal dorsum and tip. I usually use the patient own tissue. I prefer septal cartilage, but often the Asian nose has a thinner septal cartilage and the ear is a better source. Cartilage is and excellent graft source because it becomes incorporated into the patients own tissue after surgery.
Synthetic hyluronic acid fillers are rarely used, and if I do use an injectable filler it is usually...

Asian Rhinoplasty to Augment & Provide More Definition
Silicone implants, Gortex implants or the patient's own cartilage can be placed to add height and definition to profile and give the illusion of a longer and narrower nose. When possible, I prefer to use the patient's cartilage because there is less risk of infection and this graft will become incorporated into the surrounding tissue so movement after surgery is rare.

Nasal lengthening for Asian rhinoplasty
Use your own tissues to lengthen the nose (there's usually enough in the septum or ear) by a). septal extension graft and/or b). extended columellar strut. Occasionally an alar rim graft will be needed to prevent nostril notching when the extension requirements are significant.

Asian rhinoplasty and longer nose
In an Asian rhinoplasty we are often dealing with the issue of a low or flat nasal bridge. The bridge can be augmented or enhanced with a cartilage graft from the patient's own tissues or with a silicone or gortex graft. The graft will raise the bridge and add lenght to the nose as well.

Asian rhinoplasty
Commonly in asian rhinoplasty, the dorsum is flat and the nose appears wide. A dorsal graft augmenting the region will often give the appearance of a thinner, longer, and more projecting nose.

Asian augmentation Rhinoplasty
The Asian nose that appears wide is usually from low dorsum height. To create the illusion that the nose is thinner and longer the dorsum must be augmented or heightened. This can be done with cartilage, gortex, or silicone grafting. This creates the proper light highlighting and the nose looks thinner, and more defined. Hope this was helpful.

Asian rhinoplasty
In order to give the illusion of a longer nose there are a couple of techniques that can to be performed. First the nasal bridge needs to be raised, thus giving a taller looking nose. This is best accomplished using your own cartitilage, either from the nasal septum, ear or rib. At he same time the width of the nose usually needs to be narrowed. This can be accomplished by cutting the bones and moviing them in and by the norrowing the nostrils. ...

More defined appearance for Asian Nose
An augmentation rhinoplasty is routinely required to achieve what you are looking for. the nasal bridge (aka dorsum) needs to be raised. Surgical options for the necessary material routinely include your own cartilage (preferred), cadaveric cartilage or artificial implants (i.e. silicone or Gore-tex).
Alternatively, non-surgical nasal augmentation can be achieved with injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acids (Perlane, Juvederm etc) and Radiesse.
