I am wanting to know if it would be possible to get an Asian nose? I took after my fathers side, having a long nose that's pointy at the tip. I want my nose to be rounder/flatter as I think it best suits my features. I feel very awkward with the nose that I have. I am not looking for an answer such as "You look fine the way you are, I need professional opinions to my question.
Answer: Asian Rhinoplasty Candidate Asian noses tend to have: Weak bridge or dorsumBulbous tipWide nostrilsThick SkinEach ethnicity has its own cultural ideas of beauty that must be appreciated and enhanced with any plastic surgery procedure that is performed. If you are interested in ethnic rhinoplasty that respects your cultural identity, please take the time to find a professional who has experience in this area. I hope this helps

Answer: Very interesting case, my comments What you are seeking... "does not exist in plastic surgery"... at least is not described in our books and articles; what we normally do and is described is the way round: from asian make caucasian or less-asian, but it is an oddity finding a case to make asian out of a mainly caucasian nose. This lies within the most difficult, creative and imaginative rhinoplasty challenge one can meet: what I call the "custom rhinoplasty"; these are cases you do once or twice in life where the patient seeks a procedure not previously described or non-standar, not being the patient suffering from any mental disorder and being his/her justifications reasonable, convincing and mature (like your case); let me insist: custom rhinoplasty is not the treatment of dismorphophobias and other freak mental disorders, we are talking about mentally stable and respectable patients who seek atypical but justified transformations.I do these custom rhinoplasties for which I have to (literally) invent the technique and apply in a custom manner all my knowledged (and other's knowledge) to design a reshaping procedure on a very atypical patient's request; it comes to my mind real cases I did like:-building the nose of a famous singer because the patient was a professinal impersonating singer of that celebrity (professional justification)-making an arab nose out of a caucasian (normally we do the opposite) on a man living in a very closed and traditional society to make possible he finds a wife-making a russian bulky nose on a patient who was russian but not on her nose and she wished to be fully russian (ethnical justification)-making an afroamerican nose resemble the afroamerican nose of a celebrity which was alike her in face (social subjective justificatin)And few others.All the cases I described above are unique, irrepeatible and not previously described, you must really be bold and experienced enough to accept such challenges, and very very creative.With that said, your case and your requests are:-acceptable, reasonable and justified (ethnical justification)-feasible to a very high percentage (if not fully) extent-you need a veeery good surgeon Difficulty 10 out of 10 in rhinoplasties (out of scale I'd say), surgical time 6-8 hours. If you wish better grounded opinion well lit, focused and standard images have to be assessed: frontal, both lateral and both oblique views, also underneath the nostrils. Feel free to request any additional information from me.
