Asian rhinoplasty, when performed with tissue from your own body (autologous grafts) is permanent. One of the great benefits of autologous grafts are that they are viable, living tissue from your own body, so there is no risk of rejection or resorption as the tissue will be fully incorporated into your nose. If Asian nose job surgery is performed with synthetic implants, then those implants will have to be removed at some point as they will eventually thin the skin and become visible, or even extrude.

Is Asian rhinoplasty different?

In a standard rhinoplasty, often excess cartilage, bone and s ..read more

Spreader grafts were initially described in the ’80s by a rhinoplasty surgeon named Jack Sheen, who used them through an endonasal – or closed, scarless – approach to provide support in patients with short nasal bones, and to reconstruct the middle vault after dorsal hump reduction. Since this initial description and application, the uses of spreader grafts during nose job surgery have been expanded to include correction of internal nasal valve narrowing or collapse, adding additional support to the dorsal septum, straightening deviation of the dorsal septum, widening the middle third of the ..read more

Closed rhinoplasty or scarless rhinoplasty is an excellent procedure in the properly selected patient. Scarless rhinoplasty involves making incisions only within the nostrils, so that the scars are hidden and difficult to see from the outside. This does make the surgery faster, and swelling typically will be less than a comparable open rhinoplasty procedure. Scarless rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty work best in patients with: near ideal tip support near ideal tip aesthetics adequate dorsal height and projection thin to moderate thickness skin Closed rhinoplasty and scarless rhinoplasty f ..read more

Asian rhinoplasty and Asian nose job surgery has enjoyed a surge in popularity as the interest in rhinoplasty surgery more broadly has also increased due to the wider social acceptance and emergence of techniques and surgeons capable of producing predictably beautiful results. While rhinoplasty as a general concept involves reshaping the nose, it’s far too broad a term to accurately reflect the enormous variation in terms of surgical technique and expertise demanded of rhinoplasty surgeons to modify an individual’s anatomy to create the specific aesthetic desired. For Asian rhinoplasty more p ..read more

Any attempt at definitively and objectively determine who is the single best plastic surgeon, or rhinoplasty surgeon for that matter, is an endeavor fraught with subjectivity and destined for failure. Unlike other surgical specialities where outcomes and quality of treatment may be quantified, at least to a certain extent, with indicators such as rates of cure/survival, complication, infection, patient satisfaction, etc. in plastic surgery, relative success and failure is determined by each individual patient and not the collective of patients undergoing surgery by a particular surgeon. In th ..read more

Got Lashes? Can I wear lash extensions during surgery? The short answer is preferably no. We recommend that our patients leave out their extensions mainly because it can interfere with surgery as well as cause an issue with sterility. For some procedures, we tape the eyes with a clear dressing to prevent the eyes from becoming dry and causing any corneal scratching. Lash extensions may be dislodged as we remove the tape. They may also fall off and fall into the eye which can increase your risk for corneal abrasions.  When can I put lash extensions on again? After surgery, we recommend wa ..read more

Festival season is here, so what does that mean for your rhinoplasty and how should you be careful? DO: Wear SPF and a hat! Sun exposure, especially for prolonged periods, as it can increase the risk of sun damage, hyperpigmentation of scars, as well as sun spots! It is important to reapply sunblock or sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 at least every two hours. DO: Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water or gatorade to prevent complications like heat injury. DON’T: wear sunglasses if you are less than two months out from surgery as this can cause unwanted contour abnormalities in your DCF. AVO ..read more

Rib cartilage harvested by Dr. Yoo The ribcage encloses important organs such as the lungs and heart and its bony structure provides support as well. In total, the rib cage is composed of 24 ribs attached to the 12 thoracic vertebrae. Costal cartilage is attached to each rib and the sternum and functions to help the chest expand during breathing. As people get older, costal cartilages are more prone to becoming calcified. In dorsal augmentation rhinoplasties, the 6th or 7th costal cartilage can be harvested for grafting material. To harvest rib cartilage, a small incision is made beneath the b ..read more
