Individuals of Asian heritage who choose to have facial plastic surgery commonly focus on the nose. This is because Asian nasal features can include a nose that sits deeper in the face, a wider/flatter nasal bridge, and wider nostrils.
Research has shown that Asians have relatively fewer growth centers in the nose and mid facial areas than their Caucasian counterparts. This helps to explain the position of the nose and upper lip. Often the bridge of the nose is low and the tip is wide and can be poorly defined. As a result, the goal of Asian rhinoplasty is usually to raise and narrow the bridge and to add definition to the tip with or without narrowing the nostrils. As with all Asian plastic surgery procedures performed, Dr. Denton’s goal is to create a result that is consistent with the patient’s ethnic identity.
The Goal of Asian Rhinoplasty
Dr. Denton advises his Asian rhinoplasty patients that the goal of this cosmetic facial procedure should not be to create for them a characteristically Caucasian nose. The aim of the rhinoplasty should be to reshape the nose according to Asian characteristics that will fit the face well and result in a better balanced and more attractive appearance.
The Results of the Procedure
The structure of the Asian nose tends to make the rhinoplasty procedure more challenging than a typical rhinoplasty performed on Caucasian patients. Dr. Denton has acquired the skills and experience needed to provide his Asian patients with the most aesthetically pleasing results. An Asian rhinoplasty procedure can help define/sharpen the tip of the nose and reduce the broadness to a degree which balances well with Asian facial characteristics. Also, this procedure can define the bridge by narrowing the width. For women, especially, an Asian rhinoplasty can make the nose smaller and less prominent, so women can enjoy more enhanced feminine features.
In general, Asian rhinoplasty can create facial symmetry and improve individuals’ overall appearance by accentuating their best facial features. Of course, this will improve self-image and self-esteem since both men and women will feel more confident about their appearance.
