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, therefore an Asian rhinoplasty will address the ethnic characteristics specific to Asian facial features. Thus, an Asian nose job may serve as an ideal option for the following ethnic groups:
- Chinese
- Filipino
- Japanese
- Korean
