Dr. James Chan offers Asian Rhinoplasty procedures for patients in Vancouver, Portland and surrounding areas of Washington and Oregon.
What is Asian Rhinoplasty?
The objective of most Asian Rhinoplasty procedures is to make the nose more well-defined and prominent. Traditional Rhinoplasty procedures do not work for most of the Asian population; typically the flatter profile needs a higher bridge. Look at our Asian Rhinoplasty before and after photos to see examples of how this procedure differs from a traditional Rhinoplasty procedure.
How Does an Asian Rhinoplasty Differ from a Caucasian Rhinoplasty?
The anatomy of the Asian nose differs from that of a Caucasian nose for many reasons, including:
- Nasal bridge is less prominent
- Nasal bridge is wider and less angular
- Cartilage is more fragile
- Overlying skin tissue is thicker
- Nasal septum is typically not deviated
