I have this typical asian nose, the wide and flat nose. i'm thinking about rhinoplasty for few months. i actually prefer the non surgical rhinoplasty but some said that its not permanent. but some said that it would be permanent with silikon-100 filler. can the non surgical rhinoplasty give the permanent result or not? and for my asian nose, which one is better, surgical or non surgical?

Answer: Non-surgical rhinoplasty in the Asian Patient
Generally, to narrow the nose and refine the tip, a rhinoplasty is required. Alternatively, to improve the profile and raise the bridge or tip projection, filler can be used. I personally, always favor a surgical approach, however, if the patient opts for the non-surgical approach, a filler like restylane is a safer alternative to silicone.

Answer: Asian Rhinoplasty: Surgical vs. Non-Surgical
It depends on what you are trying to achieve with your Asian Rhinoplasty. If you are just trying to build your bridge, then a filler may be an option. However, in my experience most patients opt for a more permanent solution. I prefer to use cartilage from your own body instead of foreign material for a more natural and balanced appearance that fits your face. Often Asians also have flaring, wide nostrils that cannot be addressed non-surgically. When choosing a facial plastic surgeon, please also keep in mind that while aesthetic results are a concern, you still want to be able to breathe out of your nose!
