Rhinoplasty Among Asians

December 26, 2008

Nose job or rhinoplasty Los Angeles for years has been a popular plastic surgery procedure among various ethnics groups. While many groups tend to request a smaller and shorter nose, many Asian patients seek to have a larger and narrower nose. There are several characteristics common to Asian nose surgery Los Angeles. First, a number Asian patients request to augment the bridge the area to reduce the flattened appearance of the nose. Augmenting the bridge area makes the nose look bigger and narrower.

Various materials are available to augment the bridge of the nose including synthetic implants, processed tissue, or patient’s own tissue such cartilage or fascia. Most surgeons prefer to use synthetic materials, particularly silicone implants. A silicone implant is easy to place and produces a smooth bridge with a predictable amount of augmentation. Another step performed in Asian rhinoplasty is tip refinement. Many Asian patients complain of a wide and flat nasal tip.

Reshaping of nasal tip usually involves narrowing the tip and augmenting the tip using the patients own cartilage. Augmenting the tip effectively balances the tip with the augmented bridge. Synthetic implants have also been used for tip augmentation but have a higher risk of complications. Nostril width reduction is also frequently performed as part of Asian rhinoplasty. When reducing the width of the nostrils, a plastic surgeon will balance the nostrils not only relative to the rest of the nose but also relative to distance between the inner corners of the eyes. Any Los Angeles plastic surgeon performing rhinoplasty in Asian patients should aim to produce a natural appearing shape while preserving some ethnic nasal features in those patients desire so.

A Scarless Nose Job: Open vs Closed Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty Beverly Hills Before & After Picture

The nose is the central part of a person’s face. How the person’s face is perceived to a large extent depends on the size and shape of the nose as well as the balance of the nose with the rest of the face. It is not surprising that a large number of people turn to plastic surgeons to improve the shape of the nose. The beauty and movie icon city is no exception – in Los Angeles Rhinoplasty procedures are among the most popular. Nose reshaping surgery or nose job is called rhinoplasty. Most Beverly Hills rhinoplasty experts will agree that rhinoplasty is the most difficult plastic surgical procedure.

The two common techniques to peform rhinoplasty are close and open approaches. Increasingly, in high awareness Beverly Hills Closed rhinoplasty (also referred to as endonasal rhinoplasty) is gaining prominence. In open rhinoplasty, an incision is made across the bottom portion of the nose the skin is elevated exposing the underlying cartilages and bony structures. Even though in most patients the scar is may not be noticeable, there are many patients who complain of the visible or notched scar following an open rhinoplasty. Certain groups of patients are more prone to developing unfavorable scars including patients that have thick skin and patients with olive and darker color skin. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done to remove the scar.

Closed rhinopasty (endonasal rhinoplasty) is performed through incisions inside the nose which avoids external scars. Using a closed rhinoplasty approach the nose can be effectively reshaped and breathing can be improved. Recovery after closed rhinoplasty is usually faster than after open rhinoplasty. Sutures are placed and inside and do not need to be removed as they are absorbable. Closed rhinoplasty requires a higher level of surgical experience. Regardless of the approach used, outcomes following rhinoplasty largely depends on the surgeon’s experience with this procedure. There are far fewer Los Angeles Closed Rhinoplasty specialists, as it is a different skill set. To learn more about closed rhinoplasty visit http://www.vgplasticsurgery.com/ .

New Techniques in Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Los Angeles rhinoplasty

Los Angeles rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) is one of the most difficult cosmetic plastic surgeries to master. It requires a fine balance between form and function, with regards to the overall aesthetic of the patient’s face. Achieving satisfactory results for ethnic patients is often the most difficult. Luckily there are new techniques in constant development aimed at achieving the best results possible for ethnic patients seeking a more harmonious balance of their facial features.

Los Angeles and Beverly Hills rhinoplasty is complicated because of the very delicate and intricate structures of the nasal cavity. There are aesthetic guidelines as to what constitutes an attractive nose, for each face it takes a different nose to create an appropriate harmony and balance. Nose reshaping surgery (rhinoplasty Los Angeles) can help enhance the appropriate balance between the nose and facial features. With ethnic patients a successful nose surgery is a bit more difficult to achieve because of the range of characteristics which are incredibly diverse and which make up each unique face type of ethnic populations.

By identifying the common characteristics among the different types of ethnic noses as well as taking into consideration the expectations of the individual patient, their cultural ideals, and the balance between form and function, surgeons can plan and execute a more successful surgery. Rhinoplasty surgeons should also keep in mind, the procedure shouldn’t be performed in a way that erases the person’s ethnic identity, but rather they should focus on adapting their surgical technique to fit meet the requirements of the individual patient. Some of the effects that can be achieved by various types of rhinoplasty Beverly Hills include:

1.The hump on the bridge of the nose can be removed

2. The boxy or bulbous tip of the nose can be refined

3. Droopy nose can be rotated up

4. A long nose can be made shorter

5. A wide nose can be narrowed

6. Certain traumatic deformities of the nose can be improved or corrected

7. Certain causes of nasal airway obstruction can be treated

These characteristics can be altered through “open” or “closed” rhinoplasty techniques, or by removing excess cartilage or bone from the nasal bridge, by using small nasal implants, by adjusting the size of the nostrils, by reshaping the flesh of the tip of the nose, or even by using nonsurgical dermal filler injections. The surgeon should be able to give a full evaluation and suggest the right techniques based on your facial features and aesthetic requirements during the consultation.
