My nostril holes are already slightly high and lifted, I certainly want to avoid the pig nose and unnatural triangular shaped nostrils. Is it possible to raise my bridge while lowering the tip of my nose so that you can't see my nostril holes from the front view? Ive seen several asian nose jobs that would have turned out great if it weren't for the " M " shaped nostril holes showing, it's horridly distracting! Examples in photos.
Answer: Asian rhinoplasty nostril concerns Nostril triangulation can occur in Asian rhinoplasty when the nasal tip maneuvers are performed to narrow the nasal tip and nostril side walls move in too much. This can be a side effect of rhinoplasty. This can be avoided if cartilage grafts are added along the nostil rim to provide nostril support. In situations where this has occured secondary rhinoplasty with cartilage grafting can often correct this.

Answer: Grafts Most rhinoplasties remove a rim of cartilage from the lower lateral cartilages. This gives a nice elevation to the tip but can lead to the peaked nostrils you describe. To avoid this, adding an alar rim graft will help correct this.

Answer: Asian rhinoplasty, avoiding triangular nostrils. Asian rhinoplasty, avoiding triangular nostrils is possible if you select a very experienced surgeon who does not do this. If the cartilages r weakened too much this causes the collapse of the Ala and therefore a triangular shape.

Answer: Asian rhinoplasty tip changes A natural looking Asian rhinoplasty should not have distracting features as you describe: an over turn tip with overly visible nostrils, abnormally shaped nostrils and alar that sits straight on the face without a nicely curved transition.A proper analysis and a combination of techniques is necessary to avoid this unnatural look.For example , care must be taken when reducing nostrils to avoid visible scars while persevering some curvature when transitioning from the alar to the cheek.The overly rotated tip with nostril show may not be apparent early after the rhinoplasty but occurs over time as the nose contracts. To avoid this, enough structure should be left or added to the nose when modifying the Asian nasal tip.The triangular shaped nostril after Asian tip rhinoplasty results partly from skin contraction along the nostril rim when cartilage support of the nostrils are inadequate.We published a paper on the use of alar rim grafts to help contour the nostrils.
