I want a tall, pointy nose that fits me. A perfect example everyone would know is something like Kylie Jenner's nose. I was wondering if it would require surgery (if I want it to last, well my whole life) or if I should get fillers? I heard somewhere that if you constantly get fillers done, somehow it'll adjust and over time, you'll just need a small touch up of radiesse? There are no droops, no problems with when I smile, no bridge and I'd considered it tall. Attached are photos of my nose.
Answer: have a small Asian nose with a bulbous tip, all I want to do is just make it pointy and refined. Surgery or fillers? Thanks for your question and your photos. While it is difficult to make an assessment based on pictures alone, it does appear that you would be a good candidate for rhinoplasty to meet your goal of a pointier, more refined nasal tip. Dermal fillers would not likely give you the results you are looking for, plus the outcome you do achieve is only temporary. Rhinoplasty performed on Asian patients is more challenging for a variety of reasons, including the thickness of the skin and the need to enhance the appearance without compromising your heritage entirely. Choose a surgeon with the necessary qualifications and experience in this procedure to ensure the best possible results. Best wishes on your surgery! - Andrew L. Greensmith, MBChB, FRACS

Answer: Asian Rhinoplasty A rhinoplasty specialist will be able to comprehensively address the issues you have with your nose.One thing to keep in mind though is that there is a limitation to the amount of tip refinement you can achieve (how small/narrow) because of the thickness of your skin. While there are a variety of approaches and techniques employed by various surgeons, it is up to you to do your due diligence to find a rhinoplasty specialist experienced in Asian rhinoplasty in order to achieve the best results possible. Using autologous grafts (tissue and cartilage from your own body) will provide the safest and most permanent results.Consult with 2-3 of these surgeons in person and determine your comfort level with their approach, demeanor, and before and after results. Good luck.

Answer: Tip Definition Requires Strong Support Hello, Fillers will not give you pleasing definition to your tip because they doen't have structural rigidity to shape the thick, overlying skin. You will need a rhinoplasty that can provide this structure using stiff cartilage grafts taken from your septum or rib. Please visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons (or their AAFPRS equivalents) who specialize in rhinoplasty. Best of luck!

Answer: Fillers or Surgery for Nasal Tip in an Asian patient Thank you for the great question! The decision between surgery and fillers really is based on 1) the exact type of aesthetic change you desire; and 2) whether or not you mind having repeated injections. For non-surgical rhinoplasty, I use Radiesse or Restylane (depending on the area of the nose and the skin type). This treatment is quite good at evening out small irregularities in the bridge or giving overall more bridge height. However, it is somewhat difficult to get a more angular or "pointy" nose using this technique. Changes like that may require modification of the existing tip structure and/or placement of cartilage grafts in the tip region.
