I've always been dissatisfied with how my nose looks, even when I was very young. It's too wide and flat at the bottom and too flat at the bridge. I want what would look best on my face, but don't want synthetic materials used if possible. Also I would want to know if possible a price range for the type of surgery I would need. Thanks!

Answer: Rhinoplasty
I would do some work on your tip to try to obtain better definition. Also, you are ideal for alar wedge resection, which involved cutting out a segment of your nostril to narrow the base. Although you have a low bridge, I would not try to augment it with a graft or implant. They tend to look weird and I think the change is usually not an improvement.

Answer: Improving the bridge height and tip area with your own cartilage
I agree that it would be worthwhile to address the areas of your concern. I would use only your own tissues to build up the bridge, give better tip definition and narrow the nostrils. If you have had prior nose surgery or facial bone surgery, it will be important for your surgeon to know this history. Best wishes!

Answer: Ethnic rhinoplasty is really about personal aesthetics
It's hard to give speific recommendations about rhinoplasty without actually seeing and individual in person. I might comment that you have a low flat bridge, but that may be your favorite or familial feature that you want to keep. In general, rhinoplasty on Asian patients is more about augmentation (adding to the nose) and creating tip definition. I find that computer imaging is excellent for this.
