Most of the Rhinoplasty before and after photos involve people with a bump on their nose bridge or with noses that are too tall. I'm Asian and my nose bridge is low and short and my actualy nose is wide and round. Most people's nostrils can be seen from the side, but mine can't. They show up in front, making it look pig-like. I haven't seen any before and after photos of people' with noses like mine, so I don't know if it can be fixed.

Answer: Asian rhinoplasty There are a variety of options. As you have stated the majority of caucasian noses undergo reduction rhinoplasty (reduced size) whereas you are describing an augmentation rhinoplasty enlarged size). This frequently necesstitates grafts which may require a rib or ear carilage donor site.

Answer: You can lower your nostrils on the front view with a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty. It is difficult to obtain significant tip narrowing and projection in some Asian noses. This is usually due to thick skin, and relatively weak tip cartilages. Your septal cartilage may be short and weak as well which is limiting when grafts are considered to refine, and project your tip. You should consult several board-certified, experienced Rhinoplasty specialists with many photos if you'd like to proceed with a nose job. Would you be happy if your nostrils were lowered on your front view? I've had excellent success using Silikon-1000 for permanent results. I've attached a link to my Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty photos for your perusal; many photos demonstrate nostril lowering. I hope this is helpful for you.
