Asian Rhinoplasty: Q&A

Is Asian Rhinoplasty the Way to Restore the Harmony of my Facial Features? (photo)

I want my nasal bone to be straightened all the way down to the tip; and I want the apex to be curved slightly upward. The side of the nose should have no indentation. Additionally, I want the ala be the same length as the distance between my eyes. The nostril should be pointed downwards. I want a depression on the middle part of the nose and a tip that protrudes. The inward or depression arch is because of very bulbous and bulky tip of the nose. The curving is very gentle.

You are at a good starting point in that your description of the possible desired outcome is concise.

Dear Sophia, An evaluation and consultation with an expert rhinoplasty surgeon would be helpful in discussing your aesthetic options.

Your photographs do show that... more
