What would you recommend for a rhinoplasty on my wide/flat Asian nose? (photos)

Thank you for the photos and question. These images show you may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty. The surgery can help refine the nasal bridge, fix a wide tip and nostrils, and augment nasal projection while preserving your Asian features.

A proper evaluation is still best. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon with expertise in Asian rhinoplasty. They will be able to assess your nose and determine the best plan to achieve your desired results.

Hello from Istanbul, Turkey! Based on your description, you seem to be an ideal candidate for Asian rhinoplasty. The two most notable features of your nose are the lack of definition in the bridge area and the bulbous tip, paired with wide nostrils that curve downward. Using a rib cartilage graft, the necessary support can be provided to sculpt a more defined nasal bridge. Tip plasty and alarplasty can refine the tip, narrow the nostril base, and enhance its shape to better suit your features.
I fully understand your concern about the potential "pig nose" outcome. However, it's entirely possible to craft a nose that looks natural, neither overdone nor overly pushed up. Thick-skinned rhinoplasty patients, like yourself, indeed present a distinct set of challenges throughout the surgical process. However, this is precisely our specialty. With advanced techniques tailored for thick-skinned patients, it is possible to sculpt a nose that not only complements your profile but also respects your ethnic heritage. I would recommend an in-person consultation for a more comprehensive evaluation. Wishing you all the best on your journey!

Hello, hope you are well! Based on the photos you provided, the most noticeable feature of your nose is the lower third / tip complex. The tip itself is relatively amorphous, and as you have pointed out it appears to point downward. The nasal base is relatively wide, and your radix (the lowest point of the bridge of the nose), between the eyes, is relatively deep set. So in general, you want to add shape and structure to the nose. With rhinoplasty, this can be done by increasing tip definition and rotation, and I would suggest a conservative radix/high dorsal augmentation, and possible alarplasty to reduce width of the base of the nose. Those suggestions sometimes change when meeting in-person based on examination (photos that are not standardized can distort the appearance of the nose and be somewhat misleading). Of course all modifications are customizable, and you would discuss with your surgeon preoperatively to make sure you are in agreement about any proposed changes.
