Rhinoplasty in Asia is fast increasing in
its popularity. With an improving economy, many clients are looking to enhance
their looks for personal reasons, socio-economic competitiveness in the job
market place and /or peer influence from the local Asian/international film and
music media.
Asian rhinoplasty techniques range from
rhinoplasty by injectables to closed and open approach rhinoplasty procedures.
These techniques have been described in the literature and performed in the
West. However the surgical pendulum for the Asian nose is mostly about
augmentation, instead of reduction. Augmentation strategies, materials and
techniques form the volume of Asian practice.
This chapter will outline the varied
techniques and the underlying essence of Asian rhinoplasty. An additional
subchapter is dedicated to the ancient Chinese face reading philosophy and
examines for the uninitiated reader how that could influence Asian rhinoplasty
decision making for their clients.
