Asian rhinoplasty, tip and alar - what is the most suitable surgery for me? (Photo)

Question

Hi - I am E Asian and have a flat, bulbous tip, wide nose. What is the most suitable rhinoplasty surgery for me? I am thinking tip and alar but would like some kind of projection as my side profile is relatively flat. Thank you.

The changes you describe can be achieved with Asian rhinoplasty. One thing to keep in mind though is that there is a limitation to the amount of tip refinement you can achieve (how small/narrow) because of the thickness of your skin. If you want the best idea of what is possible for your nose, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. @drdonyoo

Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you may benefit from a nose reduction, as well as tip refinement. The best way to determine the right surgical approach to achieve your desired results would be to schedule an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio and experience with Asian rhinoplasty. Such experts will have knowledge of nasal anatomy, an aesthetic eye for facial symmetry and balance, as well as the most advanced surgical techniques. Only after a proper evaluation during your consultation can your surgeon determine and recommend the best surgical procedure for you, ensuring the best possible outcome. Imaging technology may also be used to show projected results.

The tip has no definition. The nostrils are wide. An open tip plasty and alarplasty is the best approach to get the definition in the tip and reducing the base of the nose.

ip-plasty and Alarplasty

You can have the lower half of the nose (tip and nostrils) addressed without breaking the nasal bones. Tip-plasty can address the bulbous tip either through closed or open approach to make it narrow and refined.
Alarplasty is a very fine and quick procedure that can narrow the nostrils and reduce the flare to soften the appearance. It has other names as well like ‘Weir Excisions’ or ‘Nostril Reduction’. However, it is important to note that asymmetry of nostrils is common and cannot be corrected with alarplasty.
 Both of these can be done under local anethesia.
