DCF or tip-plasty/osteotomy for Asian rhinoplasty? seeking any advice! (Photo)

Question

I'm a filipino woman struggling to figure out what procedure would be best for me. I do not mind my side profile - I am insecure about the frontal view. My wide nasal bones and under-projected tip. There are no asian rhinoplasty specialists in my area (Texas) so I have had to rely on online consults. I am torn between dcf because its extremely pricey and I don't want to completely westernize my nose and tiplasty and osteotomy and the Philippines but not sure if it will provide harmonious results

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

The best way to achieve what you described is through Asian rhinoplasty. An evaluation by a specialist in Asian cosmetic surgery will allow you to consider the treatment options for improving the contours of your face.  DCF (Diced cartilage fascia) provides permanent results without the risk of warping or resorption of en bloc rib cartilage, and with a much lower rate of migration, infection, or extrusion than synthetic grafts. During your consultation, your photos can be computer-morphed to show how the changes to your nose will affect your appearance. If rhinoplasty is not an option for you, you may want to consider nonsurgical rhinoplasty with dermal filler. Good luck! @drdonyoo @asianrhinoplasty

Hello you need to make a narrow nose and front view will be good seen if you want you can have Rhinoplasty surgery

Sean Fisher, MD · Answer

I tell all of my patients seeking asian rhinoplasty that if they have hesitations about dorsal augmentation, than the safe answer is to not do it. You are correct that this can have major implications in terms of overall facial/ethnic aesthetics- while some patients are wanting this, others do not and that is OK! narrowing the nose, refining this tip and addressing nasal width can absolutely be addressed and provide an aesthetically pleasing result, without changing important aspects of your nose that you wish to maintain.
