I have an Asian nose bridge that is too wide. Also, I wish to have my nose bridge curve more down and then out (my nose turns down slightly). Will it be difficult to achieve the smaller, more petite and thin nose that I want? Pictures of my nose are below. Thank you!

Asian augmentation rhinoplasty helps define the nose

In Vancouver, where we have a large Asian population, changes of the nature you describe are quite commonly requested. Your requests are very reasonable and this if often what patients achieve with augmentation rhinoplasty (see the link below for more information). In your case, you will require some augmentation of your bridge in order to make it higher and appear more defined on your front view. It would look even more refined if the tip projected slightly more forward so that it... more

Rhinoplasty for Asian Nose

These are not easy cases, but done properly you could in fact achieve your goals- increasing tip projection and upwardly rotating it, and narrowing of the bridge are two of the most obvious ways to achieve your goals. I strongly suggest you spend some time looking at before and after photos of similar cases to make sure that you find a surgeon experienced in working on Asian noses like yours.

Fixing Your Asian Nose

Your goal is similar to the aesthetic desires of many Asian patients we see here on the West Coast - you want a more projected, narrow  bridge and a refined tip. There are many techniques and combinations of procedures used to individualize your surgery.

"Fix" my Asian Nose

Thanks for the posting of your photos. Best to see a boarded surgeon in person for a FULL explanation on augmentation rhinoplasty. As to options of implants, self vs alloplastic. If fractures will be needed, tip revision.

Asian Rhinoplasty

Hi, Asian rhinoplasties have allot in common with African American rhinoplasty. Typically patients want a higher, thinner bridge and more definition in the tip. There are several ways to achieve this result. I like to use a custom carved silastic implant, defatting of the tip and cartilage grafts to achieve this result. Ethnic rhinoplasties are certainly more challenging than Caucasian rhinoplasties so be sure to find a surgeon who performs ethnic rhinoplasty.
