Asian Rhinoplasty
Asian rhinoplasty is a surgical approach designed for specific ethnic features such as thick skin, low nasal bridge, and weak cartilage support. The goal is to achieve a nose that looks natural, harmonizes with facial proportions, and respects cultural identity.
Common characteristics such as thick skin, low projection, and wide alar base in Asian noses require customized surgical techniques. Septal extension grafts, columellar struts, and autologous cartilage grafts are used to strengthen nasal support, refine tip definition, elevate the dorsum, and create a balanced profile.
Asian rhinoplasty is not about creating a single standard nose shape, but rather achieving a nose that matches the patient’s facial proportions, looks natural, and respects their ethnic identity. For more details on modern surgical approaches and techniques, see the “Asian Rhinoplasty Techniques” article on PubMed.
The goal of Asian rhinoplasty is to achieve natural results that harmonize with the face while respecting cultural identity. Instead of over-rotating the nasal tip or excessively narrowing the bridge, balanced and conservative approaches are preferred.
A detailed consultation, 3D simulations, and functional assessment are conducted. Patient expectations are carefully discussed with the surgeon before surgery.
Performed under general anesthesia, the surgery typically lasts 2–4 hours. The dorsum is augmented, the tip is reinforced, and the alar base is conservatively narrowed. Techniques are personalized for each patient.

With proper surgical techniques, the results of Asian rhinoplasty are permanent. Reinforced tip support and structured dorsum ensure long-term stability.
