Options in Asian Rhinoplasty

Asian rhinoplasty is most often performed to address the dorsum of the nose with augmentation and to shape the tip to be smaller and more refined.  This is usually accomplished by adding a silicone implant to the dorsum of the nose and by further refining the tip by trimming the tip cartilage and with additional sutures sutures that will hold the tip in a tighter position.

I mainly use the open rhinoplasty approach, which requires a small incision around the base of the nose, and in the inside. This approach allows for the most control of the tip and easy access to the dorsum for placement of the implant. The scar is nearly invisible after only a short time. There is usually a minimal to moderate amount of swelling, which resolves significantly within seven to 10 days.
A balanced dorsum and tip can be achieved with a very natural appearance. Far too often, I have seen patients with excessive augmentation and tip work that is not harmonious with the face. It is usually obvious that the patient has had rhinoplasty, which is not one of my goals. The result should be natural and balanced with minimal signs of additional work done.

Rhinoplasty techniques have improved significantly. Silicone implant is not always necessary for augmentation. . Often times I can use the patient's own tissues with their own cartilage or tissue to obtain very natural results without the potential future issues of an implant. Asian rhinoplasty can be performed safely and effectively with a balanced and natural result.

To avoid bad experiences on beauty surgeries it is important what we should read doctors reviews.
Reading doctor reviews can save lot of time, trouble and bad experiences. Plus "word of mouth" referrals that we can get to our family members, friend and even neighbors. We can rely on their experience and learn our first do's and don't. I've got the best help when it comes to Rhinoplasty Los Angeles from my aunts. Believe me, family knows better.

Achieving a natural look in <Nose Contouring is definitely more important than using / excess use of argumentation or silicone implants . If a natural look can be achieved without the use of argumentation or silicone implants, with the use of patients tissues and cartilage. The same is advisable and most welcomed.
