I have an Asian bulbous nose. Which procedures would be best for rising the bridge and giving the tip more definition? (Photo)

Dear Stephanie8853



Here in
California, with a huge Asian-American population, we have many calls for
similar improvement.Raising the bridge
can be done without a formal surgical procedure that might include grafting of
bone or cartilage.You should consider
the permanent non-surgical injection rhinoplasty technique.Non-surgical rhinoplasty works because tiny drops of Silikon
1000 are injected just under the nasal skin. Over time, the body walls off
those drops with new tissue which provides the plumping action to fill in
divots or marks in the nose. The same effect can happen with plain salt water
to provide a preview how the nose will look on completion of treatment. The Saline Demo lasts perhaps two hours, but long enough to take a photo of
what the finished nose will look like.

Best

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
