Most Asian rhinoplasty involves some sorts of implants to heighten the bridge of the nose. I like the side profile and don't need the bridge to be high. My concern is that its alar base flares up badly, especially when I smile. I also don't like the nasal tip. The nasal tip is just a little bit thick skin and bulbous. The problem isn't the shape of cartilage (according to my touch), it's more of fat thick skin. I just need very subtle decrease in size of the tip.
Answer: As An Asian rhinoplasty specialist will be able to comprehensively address the issues you have with your nose.One thing to keep in mind though is that there is a limitation to the amount of tip refinement you can achieve (how small/narrow) because of the thickness of your skin. While there are a variety of approaches and techniques employed by various surgeons, it is up to you to do your due diligence to find a rhinoplasty specialist experienced in Asian rhinoplasty in order to achieve the best results possible. Using autologous grafts (tissue and cartilage from your own body) will provide the safest and most permanent results.Consult with 2-3 of these surgeons in person and determine your comfort level with their approach, demeanor, and before and after results. Good luck.

Answer: Subtle Change in Nose Some patients are looking for a very small or subtle change. In your case, it appears that you are looking to change your tip in your ala. The ala can be narrowed by itself or you can combine this with other things including tip refinement. One thing to be cautious of is that as you begin to change her nasal tip, it may not fit the rest of your nose. Right now you are generally satisfied with her nose except for the 2 issues that you mention. However as you start affecting the nasal tip, you might notice that the tip is no longer congruent with your nasal bridge.

Answer: Defining the nose tip The nose tip can be better defined using a small cartilage graft from the septum or the ear, if the septum is missing. Rib cartilage is not ideal since it is too firm. This can be done through a closed technique. You may want to consult a plastic surgeon who is experienced in creation of more pleasing tip definition.
