Asian Rhinoplasty

I had my Asian rhinoplasty done last year, and I’m genuinely so happy with the results. The healing process went smoothly, and now that it’s been over a year, I can confidently say it looks incredibly natural — which was exactly what I hoped for. As someone with Asian features, I wanted subtle changes that would enhance my profile without losing my natural look. The surgeon clearly understood the unique structure and aesthetics of Asian noses and made sure the result suited my face, not just a generic ideal. Now, most people don’t even realize I had surgery unless I tell them — they just say I look more refined or balanced. That’s how natural it looks. It boosted my confidence in such a quiet but powerful way. If you’re considering Asian rhinoplasty and want something that enhances your features without being obvious or overdone, I’d absolutely recommend going for it — just make sure you choose a surgeon experienced with Asian facial anatomy. I’m so glad I did.

Best Decision I've Ever Made

I found Dr Kwak after almost a year of research, and decided he was the right surgeon for me because of his prioritization of facial balancing. He guided me through the decision making process with such patience that I booked my rhinoplasty, along with brow lift and lower bleph, on the spot. I have wanted a nose job for 20 years, and now that's it's done I am so happy and in love with the result!!

Dr. Kwak is an Absolute Master at His Craft!!!

I booked a consult with Dr. Kwak to discuss some sagging skin around my neck and jawline. I'm still young at 35, but felt that the sagging and lack of definition at my jawline was really beginning to age me. He spent an hour with me, walking me through the options, and I knew immediately I would be in amazing hands. He performed a chin augmentation, and deep plane lower face lift and neck lift. I am OBSESSED with my results - subtle, natural and elevated. I get so many compliments and I cannot stop staring at my gorgeous new jawline. He is a dream - amazingly calm and measured bedside manner, incredible skill, attention to detail, and care. This was my first real procedure, and so this felt like a big step, especially on the face, but Dr. Kwak is a true artist and perfectionist and I'm SO glad I put my trust in him. Go see him if you're considering something similar!!! I'm glad I didn't wait "until I'm older" to feel this beautiful.

I Had an Amazing Experience

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Edward S. Kwak in NYC for my Asian double eyelid surgery with ptosis repair and lower eyelid surgery. As an Asian patient, I was nervous about finding a surgeon who truly understands our features, but Dr. Kwak exceeded all expectations. He took the time to explain everything, and the results look so natural. My eyes look brighter, more balanced, and still authentically me. The lower eyelid surgery also made a huge difference—no more tired look. Dr. Kwak is hands down the best eyelid and facial plastic surgeon in NYC. Highly recommend!
