Asian rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that usually addresses the bridge of the nose. A small extension of the bridge of the nose can add height and complexity to the nose shape. The nose can appear more balanced with the other facial features while still retaining its ethnic shape. If you want to change the natural appearance of your nose, the best-rated plastic surgeon in Manhattan, NY Dr. Gary Linkov offers solutions to change the size or shape through Asian or ethnic rhinoplasty at City Facial Plastics in New York.
The Asian nose is not the only ethnic nose job that is often requested. Some people of African descent have wider nostrils or a wide nose base they want to be reduced. Some eastern European ethnicities have bulbous or upturned noses that make them feel self-conscious of their appearance. Middle Eastern ethnicities, with humped or large noses, may want a smaller or straighter nose for facial harmony. The right nose size and shape is a personal preference, which Dr. Linkov will address through ethnic rhinoplasty.
Asian nose surgery describes rhinoplasty for people from certain parts of the world, including:
Every nose is different. But certain types of noses can be grouped together based on ethnicity. The type of nose dictates the surgical techniques necessary to make desired changes. People most often want to look like the best version of themselves and this can be achieved by understanding what makes a nose beautiful in different cultures.
There are nasal characteristics that make Asian nose job NYC procedure different from Caucasian rhinoplasties, such as:
Due to the abovementioned features of the Asian nose, certain types of rhinoplasty techniques are common in this population, including:
Our specialist offers additional techniques such as improving a deviated or crooked nose, or reducing a hump may also be done when needed.
The best approach to take to achieve these goals is an open rhinoplasty approach. This involves making a small incision at the columella (base of the nose) to expose the underlying cartilage and bone. This approach provides the best control and manipulation of the nose. The incision ultimately heals very well and becomes almost invisible in most patients even at close inspection.
The most important point to consider when planning for a New York Asian rhinoplasty is the sources of material to create the desired changes, especially to the bridge.
From your body (autologous)
From another person (homograft)
Foreign (alloplastic)
Often a combination of materials is chosen. It is important to remember that foreign materials have a higher chance of infection and are more likely to shift and move over time. Discuss these options with your Upper East Side plastic surgeons as they each have advantages and disadvantages for Asian rhinoplasty.

As these grafts are applied, the plastic surgeon must bear in mind the elastic limit of the skin. In other words, after the grafts are placed, the skin of the nose still needs to close well and cover the grafts. Therefore, there is a limit to how much augmentation, or tissue advancement, can be done during the Asian rhinoplasty procedure in NY. Sometimes the skin can be gently stretched before the surgery to improve its ability to handle a more pronounced graft.
After your ethnic rhinoplasty, the nose will be stuffy for the first few days to weeks. There may be slight bleeding from the nose for the first 48 hours, rarely is it more severe. The internal nasal splints are usually removed at the first follow-up appointment 1 week postoperatively. The external splint is also removed at the first postoperative visit.

It is important to avoid strenuous activity such as exercise or heavy lifting for at least 1 week postoperatively and to avoid contact sports for at least 6 weeks.
