BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS
There are many approaches to rhinoplasty. My patient had been contemplating her options and wanted a more refined, projected tip—without altering the character of her nose. Maintaining authenticity was her top priority, and at just 3 months post-op, it’s clear we achieved that. The enhanced tip projection and definition created a truly transformational improvement from every angle. That’s how important proper nasal tip projection is in facial aesthetics.

This is an excellent example of Asian rhinoplasty, which often presents unique anatomical considerations. In this case, I used rib cartilage grafting to enhance definition along both the bridge and nasal tip, improve tip projection, and increase the height of the radix. She also desired a refined, accentuated supratip break, something we were able to achieve beautifully.

7 Month Post-Op 55
My beautiful patient had some concerns about her eyebrows hooding her eyes. She was a great candidtate for endoscopic browlift. It’s key in such cases to perform mostly a tail of the brow lift and avoid the temptation of lifting the medial (above the nose portion) that canl give patients a “puzzled” look. She look terrific at 1 month out.
With her rhinoplasty, we used rib cartilage grafting to lift the bridge and root and enhanced her tip projection. These are some of the common concern amongst Asian rhinoplasty patients. All together, those features are enhanced while still maintainging an authetntic look.

This is a classic case of Asian rhinoplasty, incrfeasing the height of the root of the nose, lengthening the nose with more tip definition and projection, and ultimately smaller nostrils.

This Korean-American gentleman wanted a stronger nasal bridge and tip while maintaining an authentic look. Rib cartilage was applied as grafting material and the results are shown only at 10 days following surgery before he moved to the East coast.

Asian patients usually require bridge augmentation, tip refinement, and alar base reduction. Such enhancements are performed with careful consideration of the overall facial structure to ensure balanced, aesthetically pleasing improvements that do not compromise the patient’s unique Asian features.
REASONS TO UNDERGO THIS PROCEDURE
Asian patients tend to have a wider and fuller face shape. When combined with an under projected nose, this results in a facial profile that appears more flat and less defined when compared to universal norms.
Increasing the projection of the bridge and reshaping the nasal tip helps reduce the “flatness” of the face and improve symmetry and harmony between the rest of the facial features. In some cases, further changes may be necessary to address possible breathing issues. Asian rhinoplasty can help address the following concerns:
- Wide nostrils
- Low nasal bridge
- Flat facial profile
- Poor nasal function
BENEFITS OF ASIAN RHINOPLASTY
Every race is comprised of different ethnic groups, but none as varied as the Asian population. Thus, it is important to consider the nuances between each ethnicity so as to provide the most appropriate nasal enhancements for each individual patient.
Having worked with patients of various ethnicities throughout his long and prolific career, Dr. Jacob Sedgh is a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon who is fully equipped with the knowledge, expertise, and experience required to successfully deliver highly individualized treatments and consistently produce natural-looking results that suit the patient’s face.

- Improved facial profile with increased depth and dimension
WHAT TO EXPECT
The key to achieving your desired result from your rhinoplasty procedure is to clearly communicate your concerns and expectations during the initial consultation. Once Dr. Sedgh has gained a better understanding of your needs, he will take the time to evaluate your nasal structure to pinpoint all areas of concern that need to be addressed. This will allow him to determine the ideal nose shape and size for your facial structure, as well as the most appropriate techniques to utilize for the procedure. Your consultation will consist of the following:
- Interview and assessment of your medical history
- Thorough physical examination
- Discussion on the surgical approach to be used for the procedure
Dr. Sedgh also conducts consultations via video conferencing for prospective patients who live out of town or overseas. If needed, his office can provide assistance in arranging transportation, hotel accommodation, and even aftercare services for the day of the surgery.

ASIAN RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURE
Asian rhinoplasty differs from other types of nose reshaping procedures because it usually requires implants or cartilage grafts to build a more projected nose bridge.
The procedure is performed on patients placed under general anesthesia. It can be done in a hospital, in a surgical clinic, or in a surgical suite in your surgeon’s office, and generally takes two to three hours to complete.
Depending on the complexity of the procedure, your surgeon may perform either an open rhinoplasty or a closed rhinoplasty. With open rhinoplasty, Dr. Sedgh will make incisions across the columella between the nostrils, as well as additional incisions inside the nose.
This provides better access to the internal nasal framework, which makes it ideal for some of the more complicated rhinoplasty techniques.
On the other hand, closed rhinoplasty is performed with all incisions placed inside the nostrils. Through these incisions, Dr. Sedgh will carefully manipulate the underlying tissue to reshape the structure of the nose. This approach is recommended for simpler rhinoplasty cases and will yield no visible scarring.
To build the nasal bridge, Dr. Sedgh may install an artificial, biocompatible implant that has been carefully shaped to meet the patient’s desired outcome. Another option is to use cartilage grafts obtained from a donor site on the body, such as the septum, ear, or rib.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How are Asian nose types different?
With the many ethnic groups in Asia, it also stands that there are several different nose shapes within the population. Asian noses are typically shorter and less protruded, with augmented nostrils and broad and rounded tips. Other characteristics of Asian nose types include a slimmer, flatter shape with low nasal bridge.
Do you perform Asian male rhinoplasty?
Dr. Sedgh offers Asian rhinoplasty for males and females looking to improve their facial harmony, enhance nasal function, or both.

RECOVERY
Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. After the surgery, you may experience swelling, bruising, and some mild discomfort or pain. These will normally subside within a week, depending on your adherence to the aftercare instructions and your body’s response to the treatment.
For a more comfortable recovery with minimized side effects, Dr. Sedgh will prescribe medications and aftercare instructions that may include post-surgical care for the treated area.
During the postoperative phase, one of the doctor’s main priorities is to provide ample care and support so as to promote a positive patient experience.
