I would like to get rhinoplasty, but haven’t seen any pictures of people with noses that look like mine. I’m Filipino, but not sure if I need Asian rhinoplasty or if my nose is considered under African American rhinoplasty or regular rhinoplasty. I would also like to know if I’m a good candidate for rhinoplasty. My concern is nose bridge, my nostrils and the tip of my nose. So I guess all of my nose? I’m not sure.
Answer: Asian Rhinoplasty The best way to determine what specific changes will look good on your face, and what changes are surgically possible, is to do your research to find the top rhinoplasty specialists and consult with several of them in person. During your consultation, your photos can be computer-morphed to show how the changes to your nose will affect your appearance. A rhinoplasty specialist will have the experience to determine whether the morphed images are surgically attainable. Good luck! @drdonyoo

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi @saha232. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination. In my practice, I utilize piezosurgery. Piezosurgery is a more gentle technique that allows for greater precision. Less bruising and swelling is common with Piezosurgery. In a typical rhinoplasty, a hammer and chisel technique is performed leading to more inadvertent fractures.

Answer: Rhinoplasty to improve nasal shape... Based on your photo, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The bridge can be built up and the tip and nostrils can be made more narrow. Realistic expectations are important because your skin is a bit thick, but a nice improvement can be made by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

Answer: Ethnic rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Asian and African noses have considerations such as thicker skin, less tip support, and a low radix, just to name a few. A detailed conversation with your surgeon is important to determine exactly what your goals are, as well as an explanation of what would be involved in attaining them. For most Asian noses, typical maneuvers entail augmenting the dorsum, refining the tip, and narrowing the ala, however, all this hinges on what exactly you'd like changed. No nose is exactly the same, and no patient wants exactly the same thing done! I hope this helps, and best of luck to you!

Answer: What kind of rhinoplasty should I get for my bridge, nostrils and nose tip? Hello @saha232. thank you for your question. In the subject of rhinoplasty what we seek is to achieve a natural result regardless of ethnicity. A natural result is not that it's going to look the same as your nose before surgery. A natural result is that the proportion and harmony of the parts that make up the nose tip, dorsum and nasal base are in accordance with the characteristics of your facial features. For example, a person with a wide face who has a wide nose, we have to modify it in such a way that it continues to be proportioned to that wide face. Many times in the street, we see men and women with very thin noses and absolutely large and prominent cheekbones, so that when it does not look harmonious. Best wishes!
