ASIAN RHINOPLASTY
The Asian facial composition is quite specific. One
feature
in particular is the nose. It has been found that
Asians have fewer
growth centers in the mid face than people of European descent.
This explains the common position of the nose and upper lip. The
nose essentially sits deep into the face and the upper lip tilts
backwards and toward the nose at an angle less than 90 degrees.
Another feature is the Columella, or underside of the nose, is
not visible because it sits well up inside the nose. Because of
these unique characteristics for people of Asian descent, a combination
of Asian Rhinoplasty procedures can be done to modify and improve
the esthetics of the nose.
The bridge of the nose is raised and narrowed and the nasal width at the nose-cheek junction narrowed during the Asian Rhinoplasty procedure. These are typically problem areas in the Asian nose. As a group, Asians require augmentation of the nose to achieve this result, in contrast to Caucasians who usually require reduction. As with other types of surgery performed on Asians, successful surgery results in a feature consistent with the patient's ethnic identity. Thus an attractive Asian nose should result, not an attractive Caucasian nose on an Asian face.
