Q: Hi, I’m a 19-year-old Asian male and I’ve been thinking about getting rhinoplasty so it looks more “normal”. When I mean normal I mean more upright and with a more defined nose bridge and the bottom to be more angular. Is there a terminology to it (my nose) or what type of rhinoplasty operation I would need so I can go do some more research on my own before visiting an actual clinic.
A: The safest and most permanent way of achieving permanent results in Asian rhinoplasty is to use autologous grafts (or tissue from your own body). The best option to create refinement and definition in the tip and bridge of your nose is rib cartilage. The thickness of your skin will necessitate the use of strong, straight cartilage – the best source of which is your own rib cartilage.
Focus on finding Rhinoplasty Specialists, experienced in Asian rhinoplasty and consult with 2-3. This will give you a better idea of the best approach for achieving the nose you seek.
