Rhinoplasty for South East Asian Nose.

Rhinoplasty for South East Asian Nose. Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2018 Aug;26(3):389-402 Authors: Yap EC Abstract The South East Asian nose is usually small with voluminous thick skin, low dorsum, wide and hanging ala, bulbous tip, and retracted premaxilla. The surgical approach of rhinoplasty for these types of noses includes the following: dorsal augmentation, counterrotation and projection of the tip, and correction of hanging ala and alar flare/base. A usual ideal rhinoplasty outcome of a South East Asian nose should be a nose that fits the face with good function and has all the aesthetic landmarks achieved: natural looking dorsum, supratip break, tip, subtip break, columellar show, good alar-columellar relationship, improved premaxilla, improved nostril, and improved alar flare.
