The Woodlands Plastic Surgery

asian rhinoplasty

Asian Rhinoplasty in The Woodlands is a surgical procedure which creates balance and harmony in the face by correcting features of the nose while also correcting impaired breathing caused by structural deviations. North Houston residents who are seeking to improve the appearance or function of their nose should be aware of several differences that their rhinoplasty surgeon should be well-versed in treating. When looking for an Asian nose job, it’s important to ensure your surgeon understands all aspects of this procedure.

ASIAN RHINOPLASTY IN THE WOODLANDS

what’s the difference?

An Asian person’s nose can be very different from a Western nose in that the nasal bridge is commonly lower, which makes the nose appear shorter. Even something as simple as wearing glasses can be problematic for those with very little bridge to anchor them. Asian patients also commonly have a rounder and wider nasal tip with less projection, leading to a flatter-looking nose.

The Details

An Asian person’s nose can be very different from a Western nose in that the nasal bridge is commonly lower, which makes the nose appear shorter. Even something as simple as wearing glasses can be problematic for those with very little bridge to anchor them. Asian patients also commonly have a rounder and wider nasal tip with less projection, leading to a flatter-looking nose.

Nose surgery for Asian patients requires restructuring the bridge of the nose, as well as raising and refining the nasal tip. The size of the nasal tip and how it relates to the bridge of the nose, the forehead, and cheekbones, defines an aesthetically beautiful nose. This can require cartilage grafts from the patient or a donor; implants can also be used to add structure to the nose.

The Procedure

Prior to your procedure, Dr. Correa will discuss every aspect of your procedure in-depth and craft a custom procedure for each patient based on their needs and wants.

For subtle aesthetic changes or functional rhinoplasty procedures, Dr. Correa may enlist a ‘closed’ technique where all incisions are made within the nostrils leaving no visible scarring or an ‘open’ technique where incisions are made in easily-concealable locations at the base of the columella. Following surgery, the nose is typically taped and splinted.

The Recovery

In general, recovery after rhinoplasty procedures is fairly straight forward. You’ll likely feel comfortable returning to work and other day-to-day activities in about 7-10 days.

Strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to allow your body to adequately heal. While many changes can be seen in the first 8-12 weeks after surgery, we don’t consider any results ‘final’ until 1 year as many subtle changes can still manifest 12 months after surgery.

ABDOMINAL WALL RECONSTRUCTION

the recovery

Abdominal wall reconstruction is considered major surgery and requires a hospital stay following surgery. This is usually around 5-7 days. During the post-operative period you will wear an abdominal binder to help support you externally. This binder will be important to wear during at least the first month following surgery while you heal. In addition to the binder, drains are also placed to help remove the fluid that your body naturally produces in reaction to surgery.

Individual results may vary

DR. CORREA’S PHILOSOPHY

asian rhinoplasty

“Many Asian patients have what Westerners consider a very exotic beauty. However, this exotic beauty can be enhanced with Asian rhinoplasty techniques to give a beautiful aesthetic result while still preserving the traits the patient finds desirable.”

CHOOSING YOUR ASIAN RHINOPLASTY SURGEON

The complexity of Asian rhinoplasty requires the attention of the best rhinoplasty surgeons. Dr. Correa always recommends you visit with at least a few plastic surgeons before making a final decision. After all, even if Dr. Correa has confidence in his extensive training and ability to successfully treat the differences between nasal structures among different ethnic groups, it is you that needs to have the confidence you’ve chosen the right surgeon.
