Q: I would like to have a nose job as I feel like it is obscuring my features. Right now, I feel that my nose is perfect in width. I would like nose holes (not triangles), a less fatty piggy nose and maybe a higher nose bridge. I also feel like the base of my nose is not pointing down enough but rather slightly forward. What are your thoughts and suggestions? and estimated price?
A: Your cosmetic concerns are something that can be addressed and improved with Asian rhinoplasty. While there are a variety of approaches and techniques employed by various surgeons, it is up to you to do your due diligence to find a rhinoplasty specialist experienced with Asian rhinoplasty in order to achieve the best results possible. Using autologous grafts (tissue and cartilage from your own body) will provide the safest and most permanent results. Achieving an attractive result, however, will demand a surgeon with great expertise in Asian rhinoplasty.
