What's the Problem when One's Side Profile is Fine, but Looks Flat from the Front in Some Lightings?

ForrestDumpApr 19, 2013
My nose bridge is quite high up for an Asian nose, and the tip is fine (hence the OK profile view), but the structure on either side makes it seem flat from the front in bad lighting. How I can best describe it is: If a cross section my nose was taken at the middle, the base of the triangle would be wider than I wanted, but the the height of the triangle is fine. The reason I described is because I have no photos to show you at the moment. Any information would be helpful.

Hi, That would be my patient that you referenced. She had a full rhinoplasty, with intra- nasal sill reduction. You can have a 2 staged procedure. I would start with an intra-sill reduction and if you still want more reduction, an alar wedge can be considered. Best. Dr.S.

Redness and swelling over the implant with possible discharge and open draining from the tissue.  You should see your plastic surgeon immediately if this occurs.

Asian rhinoplasty takes into account the unique features particular to Asian patients in order to give each patient a nose that looks natural. With any ethnic rhinoplasty, the goal is to improve the appearance and/or function of the nose without making it look altered.
