Asian Rhinoplasty

What Is an Asian Rhinoplasty?

Asian rhinoplasty is a subset of traditional rhinoplasty surgery, and the goal of both an Asian nose job and a traditional nose job is identical – to create a nose that is harmonious with an individual’s face.

Each ethnic group has unique facial features, and an Asian nose surgery addresses and maintains the ethnic characteristics of Asians. Thus, an Asian nose job may serve as an ideal option for the following ethnic groups:

• Chinese
• Filipino
• Japanese
• Korean

Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex cosmetic treatments, and it is essential for an individual to choose an experienced and highly trained facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon for Asian rhinoplasty, like Dr. Babak Azizzadeh. He makes it a priority to take the time to learn about an individual’s Asian nose surgery goals and provide him or her with a naturally and ethnically appropriate nose.

Is an Asian Rhinoplasty More Difficult Than a Traditional Rhinoplasty?

An Asian nose job enables a person to address the distinct characteristics of the Asian nose. For example, many Asian patients have noses with fewer growth centers in the mid-face than Caucasians. In addition, some Asian individuals have wide nostrils (alar flaring) or Columella (the hanging portion of the underside of the nose) that is hidden.

Asian rhinoplasty is designed specifically for individuals of Asian descent. Therefore, it may prove to be more difficult than traditional rhinoplasty.

A double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon like Dr. Azizzadeh understands the differences between Asian and traditional rhinoplasty. He or she will teach a patient about all aspects of a nose job before treatment.

Is There a Standard Asian Rhinoplasty Treatment?

There is no one-size-fits-all Asian rhinoplasty treatment. Instead, Dr. Azizzadeh tailors each Asian rhinoplasty procedure to a patient’s needs. This enables an Asian nose surgery patient to achieve a nose that complements his or her cheeks, chin and other facial features.

What Should You Expect During a Rhinoplasty Consultation?

An Asian nose job consultation enables an individual to address his or her treatment concerns with Dr. Azizzadeh. The consult is very comprehensive and gives an individual sufficient time to ask questions about Asian rhinoplasty, learn about the benefits of an Asian nose job and much more.

As part of an Asian nose job consultation, Dr. Azizzadeh will provide details about the procedure, assess an individual’s medical history and ensure this person is a viable candidate for surgery. Also, Dr. Azizzadeh will learn about an individual’s Asian nose job treatment goals and help this person plan accordingly.

What Should You Expect After an Asian Nose Surgery?

Some bruising and swelling may occur in the initial days after Asian nose surgery. However, these symptoms usually disappear on their own shortly after treatment.

Dr. Azizzadeh recommends a patient avoid strenuous activities or exercise for at least three weeks following Asian nose surgery. He may also request an Asian rhinoplasty patient avoid contact sports for approximately six months following treatment.

Additionally, Dr. Azizzadeh provides aftercare instructions to help an Asian rhinoplasty patient keep his or her recovery on track. He requests follow-up appointments in the days, weeks and months after an Asian rhinoplasty. If an Asian nose surgery patient has concerns during the recovery period, Dr. Azizzadeh is available to respond to them as well.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from Asian Nose Surgery?

The recovery period for Asian rhinoplasty surgery varies based on the patient. In many instances, it takes between one to two years for a patient to achieve the full results of Asian nose surgery.

Prior to Asian nose surgery, Dr. Azizzadeh discusses the recovery period with a patient. Dr. Azizzadeh wants an Asian rhinoplasty patient to establish realistic treatment goals, and he helps a patient prepare for all aspects of surgery. That way, Dr. Azizzadeh, and an Asian nose surgery patient can work together to achieve safe, effective treatment results.

Why Should I Choose a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Who Specializes in Asian Nose Surgery?

Asian nose surgery is a complex procedure, and the facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon must account for a patient’s unique facial features before treatment. By doing so, this surgeon can help an Asian rhinoplasty patient enjoy a balanced and beautiful facial appearance and ensure this individual can maintain his or her distinct ethnic facial features following treatment.

Dr. Azizzadeh is a world-renowned facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon who has performed many Asian rhinoplasty procedures over the years. He boasts extensive Asian nose surgery expertise and understands exactly what it takes to help a patient achieve a harmonious facial appearance. As such, Dr. Azizzadeh does everything possible to help an Asian rhinoplasty patient accomplish his or her desired facial rejuvenation treatment goals.

Dr. Azizzadeh's Approach to Asian Nose Surgery

Dr. Azizzadeh wants an individual to feel comfortable before an Asian rhinoplasty is performed and will allocate the necessary time and resources to provide extensive support before, during and after treatment.

In the early stages of an Asian rhinoplasty plan, Dr. Azizzadeh will provide insights into how an individual can prepare for an Asian nose job surgery. Then, he will ensure a patient is ready for treatment and help him or her establish realistic surgery goals. Dr. Azizzadeh also will meet with a patient regularly after surgery to ensure his or her recovery remains on track.
