Asian rhinoplasty versus Rhinoplasty, what's the difference?

Rhinoplasties can be of many levels of difficulty, specific groups of techniques, or anatomical requirements. There are some well-delimited ethnic groups in which all the cases share certain level of complexity, techniques, etc, and therefore are labelled under the term defining them.Asian rhinoplasty is a very very specific kind of nose, and it is doubtlessly the most complex and difficult one within the group of primary ethnic rhinoplasties, narrowly followed by afroamerican noses.Within asian rhinoplasties there are true different varieties: it is not the same one from Korean or Japanese background, than a Chinese one... or eventually the worst nightmare technically which is the Filipino / Malaysian / Indonesian nose (due to their skin problems and limitations).Very few surgeons to master asian rhinoplasty or perform them regularly with success; normally all these cases are top difficulty as primary noses, 8-10 out of 10 scale, and take 4-6 hours of surgical time, being therefore some of the most expensive nose procedures (except revision cases).

Hi R Charles,
Asian rhinoplasty is rhinoplasty with an understanding of the anatomic variation, cultural nuances, and unique desires of Asian patients. Generally, Asian rhinoplasty is more often a "make it bigger" than a "make it smaller" operation we encounter in many European and Middle Eastern patients. As I see it, Asian rhinoplasty should enhance the natural beauty of the Asian face, not to Westernize it. I hope this helps.
