Asian Nose Jobs
The human nose is considered to be the feature having the most
impact on facial appearance. There are often ethnic differences in
nasal shape as well.
An Asian nose job is a type of procedure that is used to alter the
shape of the Asian nose to give it more Caucasian characteristics.
This involves increasing the height, decreasing the width, and
refining the shape of the tip. The procedure is often referred to as
an "ethnic nose job".
The majority of nose job patients in the past have been mostly
concerned with the reduction of size. In recent years, the very
nature of facial beauty has shifted. A better understanding of what
is considered attractive has led to procedures such as Asian nose
jobs that are more concerned with achieving balance and harmony in
the facial features. The main idea of the procedure is not to
attempt to cover up the unique ethnic differences, but rather to
enhance the natural beauty in them. In other words, the idea is not
to make Asians look less Asian, or Africans to look less African.
Rather, the idea is to make them look more so by increasing the
natural balance of the face.
The actual procedures used do not differ from traditional nose jobs
used on Caucasians. This has led to some confusion. Some people have
viewed these procedures as a totally different type of Medical
procedure similar to acupuncture or herbal healing. The method of
surgery and the recovery time and surgical risks are the same. It is
really a matter of design and shaping rather than a separate
procedure.
In 2004, racial and ethic minorities were the patients in over 20
percent of all cosmetic surgery procedures. The growing desire of
people to look better and look younger, but also to retain the
ethnic qualities that make them unique and beautiful, has led to an
increase in Asian nose job procedures.
As with all cosmetic surgical procedures, patient expectations and
desires play a large part in the ultimate decision of what should be
done. The surgeon has the knowledge of what is possible and together
the patient and doctor can develop a surgical plan that can produce
the desired results. It is important to understand that there are no
exact scientific formulas as to what constitutes beauty. It is a
largely subjective area and subject to cultural differences in
perception. Ultimately, despite any ethic or racial differences, the
goal is to make you look the way that makes you feel best and
satisfies your own sense of beauty.
