Important aspects regarding Asian rhinoplasty
Asian rhinoplasty differs from caucasian rhinoplasty in several major factors. The two major entities that patients ask for include dorsal augmentation, and increased tip projection/definition. The major challenges in giving patients these desires are: (1) decreased amount of cartilage, (2) softer overall cartilage and (3) thicker flatter nasal bones.

The aesthetics of facial beauty dictate that the nose should be sleek and refined and as such these noses typically require building up the nasal bridhe with a straight, silastic nasal implant along with conchal ear cartilage to define and strengthen the nasal tip. Be sure your Rhinoplasty Surgeon understands and follows the proper aesthetics of...

Techniques for Asian Rhinoplasty
Two techniques commonly used in Asian rhinoplasty include augmentation of the bridge and tip with some type of grafts as well as narrowing the nasal base. This is done to improve proportion, definition, and refinement.

The question sounds like a query during residency training :).
Two relatively unique aspects to Asian rhinoplasty would be bridge augmentation using your own cartilage; and nasal tip grafting, including lengthening the nose.
