Did you know that rhinoplasty procedures can be specified to fit a patient’s race? This is done to create a more appropriate nose that will suit the profile of the person best. As they say, successful cosmetic surgery is not based on a ‘one size fits all’ concept. The approach of a nosed job procedure should be customized for it to enhance the entire face rather than to have the nose stand out awkwardly. This is where Asian rhinoplasty comes in.

Unlike Caucasian noses, the ones that Asians have are less prominent. That is why the type of nose jobs that are requested by the latter are often focused on having it reduced, whereas Asians usually request for enhancements in length by improving its projection.

Asians usually have the tendency to have a wider nose bridge with nostrils that flare. That is why the request include improving the dimensions of the nose by making it more slim and defined.

In Asian rhinoplasties, the surgeon sometimes shave some part of the nasal bone in order to improve the results. After reshaping the bone, silicone implants or cartilage will then be inserted to give it more length and protrusion.

Thorough consultation should be done, and for this case in particular, it is necessary because Asian noses tend to have a weaker cartilage. This should be taken into consideration because this could result to problems later on, which affects the function and aesthetics of the results.

In some practices, surgeons manipulate nasal skin in improving the shape and size of the nose, because some patients have the tendency to reject silicone implants. This would take specific skill from the surgeon because if done improperly, it could result to a very small nose tip or a permanently pinched look.

That is why most surgeons use autologous transplantations by taking cartilage either from the patient’s ears or ribs.

The recovery process also has a slight difference when compared to Caucasian nose jobs in that the healing process will be longer. This is because ethnic skin is a bit thicker, therefore it takes more time to heal.

Due to the fact that healing can take longer, it is very important that a patient takes extra care when preparing the body before surgery and in doing post-operative care. This lessens the chances of scarring.

It is also important to know that patients who undergo Asian rhinoplasty are often subjected to general anesthesia. This is why it is important to thoroughly discuss this with a surgeon because this also places you patients at more risks.

When it comes to cost, Asian rhinoplasty in Australia usually runs around $5000-$7000. This would vary depending on the city and the surgeon. On top of that, there are also other charges such as theatre fee, anesthetist’s fee and medications.

If you are planning to get your own Asian rhinoplasty procedure, the key here is to find an experienced and duly certified surgeon who specializes on this. Ask for before and after photos, because these are testaments to the surgeon’s quality of work and whether they are in keeping with your standards.
