Asian nose augmentation. Which procedures would benefit me? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I have a decent amount of knowledge for a lay person regarding what options there are for Asian rhinoplasty. My mid+lower thirds are longer than my forehead. My nose appears to be short. I want to lengthen my nose/shorten my philtrum without removing the flesh in that area. However I want to avoid elongating my mid face even more. My nasal base is quite sunken in compared to the surrounding area. I like my nose just it seems short/small for my face. Which procedures would benefit me?

Based on your photos, it does appear that refining the tip of your nose and creating more height and projection to the bridge and tip of your nose will make a nice change to your overall appearance. An in-person evaluation by a specialist in Asian cosmetic surgery will allow you to consider the treatment options for improving the contour of your face. @drdonyoo

Hello during your nose I suggest to use cartilage from your ribs and also correct your nasal holes and wings

Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you may benefit from nose surgery with tip refinement. But the best way to determine the right procedure(s) for you would be to schedule an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio and experience with Asian rhinoplasty. Such experts will have knowledge of the functional and aesthetic elements of the nose, while having an aesthetic eye for facial symmetry and balance. Only after a proper assessment during your consultation can your surgeon determine the best procedure plan for you, ensuring the best possible outcome. Your surgeon may also use imaging technology to show projected results.

You would benefit from augmentation of your nasal bridge as well as increasing the projection of your nasal tip.  From the side picture, it does not look like your mid-face is long relative to your upper and lower third.  In order to lengthen your nose, you would have to derotate the tip slightly to give your nose  the appearance of more length.
