Hi! Have been consulting surgeons who have experience with the Asian nose and have been getting a lot of different answers and solutions. I am primarily concerned with the width of the middle part of my nose (becomes really apparent when I smile) and the bulbous/wide tip. I am happy with my profile views, but am unhappy with my front view. I also do not want a perfect, westernized nose... rather, I want a smaller nose that is more suited for my shape and features. Any feedback is appreciated!
Answer: What Rhinoplasty treatment would you recommend for this wide Asian nose?

Answer: Asian Rhinoplasty While I don't think you need to see an "Asian rhinoplasty specialist" per se, there are some features common to the Asian nose including thicker skin and a wide base that ought to be taken into consideration. A narrowing of the upper nose with osteotomies, tip refinement through an open rhinoplasty, and a minimal dorsal shave to slightly improve the bump (not absolutely necessary) could be considered. You would need an in-person consultation. There are many of us who are experienced at rhinoplasty for a variety of ethnicities and with surgical simulation tools like Crisalix, we can actually model some potential outcomes of surgery preop. Happy to help!

Answer: What Rhinoplasty treatment would you recommend for this wide Asian nose? A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish narrowing a wide nose with all incisions placed on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required.The wide nose can be narrowed with osteotomies placed in the nasal bones to narrow the bridgeline, and an alar-plasty to narrow wide nostrils. The dorsal hump present on the three-quarter profile can also be shaved down. For more information and many before-and-after examples of rhinoplasty, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Asian rhinoplasty Thank you for your photos. The width of an asian nose and bulbous tip may be a component of both the underlying bony and cartilage framework as well as thicker skin. Your framework may be modified for a more refined look, however it is important to understand that thicker Asian skin will may not allow as slim or sharp of an appearance as you would like. It is best to have an in-office examination to determine what treatment you are a best candidate for. Hope this helps!!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery
