For the typical Asian Rhinoplasty patient with a low nose bridge, what is considered a high amount of augmentation? Is 4mm of augmentation considered too aggressive and would the result look unnatural? I understand it depends on one's individual anatomy, but what is the general consensus on what's considered a moderate or high amount of augmentation for an Asian nose?
Answer: Depends on the individual of course, but here are some average heights for Asian rhinoplasty Based on about 2000 Asian rhinoplasties:Northeastern Asians: most commonly 2.5mm Southeastern Asians: 3.5mm80% fall within 1mm or so from this. The presized nasal implants generally range from 1.5mm - 4mm. So you get some idea of what the manufacturers find as the most commonly requested sizes.With the use of all natural tissues, augmentation is more differential. The lowest part of the nose is between the eyes and this is where most of the augmentation is done. The area just above the nasal tip is not augmented much (silastic implants, especially the L shaped ones, tend to be too tall in this area)

Answer: Asian Rhinoplasty The amount of nasal bridge augmentation for Asian patients is determined by the proportions of the other features of your nose and face. The height needs to be balanced and natural appearing with the rest of your face. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek. 3-dimensional computer imaging can help you visualize what you may look like after surgery and serve as an important communication tool with your surgeon.

Answer: Rhinoplasty augmentation is not measured in millimeters, it is how it looks. Dear mfan17 in Los Angeles:

Answer: How Many Millimeters of Bridge Augmentation is Appropriate in Asian Rhinoplasty? How many millimeters of of bridge augmentation is appropriate in Asian rhinoplasty? The amount of augmentation of the bridge depends on the patient's pre-operative appearance. The goal is a natural result that is proportional to that individual's surrounding anatomy. An experienced surgeon will not pay any attention to what is considered a "moderate" augmentation but what each patient needs. In all these years I've never done 2 noses exactly the same.
