I have an asian bulbous nose that I would like slim down with rhinoplasty. I would also like the bridge raised and the tip defined. Any recommendations on what procedure to go with and what would be necessary to achieve my desired outcome (and if it is even possible with my current nose)? I have attached my photos with different views, as well as photos of what I would like to achieve.
Answer: Reshaping and refining the nose during Asian rhinoplasty with autologous grafts There are many options when choosing Asian rhinoplasty, but the safest, most permanent and predictable way to achieve excellent results is with tissue from your own body (autologous grafts). The choice of cartilage grafts will depend on the degree of augmentation and refinement you desire. The photos of noses you like are very refined, tall noses, so rib cartilage may be the best option for you. I am a strong proponent of building the bridge with a diced cartilage fascia graft, and reinforcing your tip with cartilage grafts to increase the projection and refinement of the tip. Computer morphing of your nose during an in-person consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist would more definitively determine the best grafts for your nose.

Answer: Rhinoplasty with Dorsal Implant I would recommend a tip rhinoplasty with a dorsal nasal implant. Either rib cartilage OR medpore.

Answer: Asian rhinoplasty Several things you should consider. If you are not ready for surgery, you can consider a non-surgical rhinoplasty using fillers (Juvederm) to augment your dorsum and better define your tip. This can be done in the office in less than 15 minutes. Results can last up to a year.For a surgical procedure, I would suggest an open technique for a better access to your tip region. There are several materials to choose from for dorsal augmentation. I prefer rib cartilage or layers of Gore-tex. Asian noses usually lack tip support and definition due to weak cartilages. Your tip needs be better defined and slightly narrowed as well as your alar base. Your tip may need a small tip/lobular graft to de-rotate your nose. Hope that helps.

Answer: Definitely consider nonsurgical or injection rhinoplasty. Raising the bridge with a permanent filler works very well. Dear Stephanie8853

Answer: Open structured rhinoplasty Open structured rhinoplasty with temporalis fascia graft to increase all the nasal bridge. Your desires are achievable. You need to understand that, all your nose needs to be increased on projection, that means lots of grafts to structure the nose, on my hands this will be near to impossible on a closed rhinoplasty. On primary rhinoplasty your own septal cartilage will be enough for this graft, if is not, ear cartilage will do the job, you will also need a temporal incision that will be hidden by your hair to gain access to the temporal fascia.Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with experience on open rhinoplasty and discuss your expectations.Best of wishes,Dr. Luis Redondo
