I am from Far East Asia, and not surprisingly, my nose-shape is quite flat (the stereotypical shape). My question is two parted, first: are there general enhancements in it's shape? Also ones that don't require surgery? Second: does the "preferred" shape differ from Caucasian men, due to balance with other facial features? Thank you for your consideration!

Answer: Ethnic noses can be improved but still need to retain their ethnic charcter In your inquiry you describe what you call a "typical" Asian nose. There is significant variability in Asian noses from different countries and even regions within one country. What is most commonly performed is augmentation of the bridge of the nose and strengthening and shaping of the tip of the nose with cartilage grafts. It is important to maintain a nose that looks natural on your face and not strive to create a "Caucasian" nose.

Answer: The ideal Asian nose shape In general the Asian people that I have done rhinoplasty for have low bridges and poorly projected nose which causes poor tip definition. The most common procedures performed for these problems are to raise the bridge, project (to refine) the tip and narrow the nostrils.
