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: 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!
