What do you recommend for a typical wide, flat, Asian nose? (Photo)

Question

I'm an Asian female and I hate my nose! I want a narrower, more prominent (but still natural looking) nose. P.S. If someone who has had a full rhinoplasty (alarplasty & cartilage grafting, etc) were to injure their nose, would they need to have special reconstructive surgery or would an ordinary nose splint suffice?

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

The safest way to achieve a natural-appearing and permanent result is with Asian rhinoplasty using autologous grafts (tissue from your own body).  It's important to maintain the proper proportions between the tip and bridge to create the most attractive results.  Once healed from rhinoplasty using your own cartilage, your nose will be stronger than it was before surgery but will still be susceptible to the same injuries when given significant trauma.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Your asian nose needs massive supply of cartilagenous 
structures, taken from septum, both ears and probably the spare 
cartilages at your ribs (this should be at least considered, not a 
must).

what are all the pictures? you would benefit from an in person evaluation with a board certified facial plastics surgeon with expertise in Asian rhinoplasty. There are many maneuvers to improve your nasal appearance.

Mohsen Tavoussi, MD, DO · Answer

Asian rhinoplasty as with other ethnic nasal plastic surgery is a specialized procedure that require actual long term experience to achieve the ideal result. More often, dorsal augmentation as well as tip definition and nasal base reduction are needed which should be individualized to each patient's anatomy.
