Le Asian nose is distinguished by unique ethnic characteristics, generally different from Caucasian or African noses. These features, although they vary from person to person, are generally considered to be part of the "nose". natural ethnic characteristics and harmonious Asian faces. However, these particularities can sometimes lead some people to want to refine, sculpt or raise certain areas of the nose while preserving their ethnic identity.
La medical rhinoplasty has become an essential alternative to surgery for those wishing to make subtle changes to the appearance of their nose without undergoing major surgery. For patients of Asian origin, whose nasal features are often distinct, this non-invasive method offers an ideal solution for improving the aesthetics of the nose while respecting ethnic traits.
La medical rhinoplasty on asian nose makes it possible to make subtle corrections, such as increasing the projection of the nasal bridge, refining the tip of the nose or correcting asymmetries, without resorting to surgery.
In this article, we will explore in detail how medical rhinoplasty can be used to to beautify the Asian nose.
The Asian nose has unique characteristics that differ from those of the Caucasian or African nose. These characteristics may vary according to geographical origin, but the following features are often observed:
- A low or poorly defined nasal bridge: the projection of the nasal bridge is generally lower in Asian patients, sometimes resulting in a flatter profile.
- A rounded nasal tip: the nasal tip tends to be wider or more rounded, with less projection than in other ethnic groups.
- Wider nostrils: the base of the nose may appear wider because of the shape of the nostrils.
- Thick cartilage: the cartilage is often thicker, which can make the tip appear wider.
- Higher nose width-to-length ratio: the ideal nose width-to-length ratio for Caucasian women is 0.7. The ideal ratio for Asian women is 1.1.
- Sharper nasolabial angle: the nasolabial angle in Asian women is sharper than in Caucasian women, with an angle of between 90° and 120°.
- Wider nasal triangle: the nose forms part of a triangle that is wider in Asians than in Caucasians. The width of this triangle can be reduced, but it must remain wider than that of the Caucasian because the facial features are different.

For patients of Asian origin who wish to make slight improvements to their nose without undergoing surgical rhinoplasty, medical rhinoplasty offers an ideal solution for refining and sculpting the nose while respecting their natural ethnic features.
La medical rhinoplasty can be used to treat several aspects of the Asian nose
The main areas that can be corrected are :
- Nasal bridge: the nasal bridge is often one of the first areas treated during medical rhinoplasty on an Asian nose. The projection of this area is generally weaker, which gives a flatter profile. Injections of hyaluronic acid raise the bridge of the nose and create a more pronounced more defined curvewhile respecting the proportions of the face.
- The tip of the nose: the tip of the nose in Asian patients tends to be wider and less defined. If a patient wishes to refine or increase the tip projectionHyaluronic acid is used to subtly redefine this area. The result is a sharper or finer tip without the need for surgery.
- The nasal dorsum: the nasal dorsum can also be treated to erase the appearance of small irregularities or bumps on the nose. It is possible to create a straighter, more harmonious nose.
- The wings of the nose: injections can be used to reduce slightly the width of nostrils and adjust the volumes around the wings of the noseThis gives the impression of a finer, more balanced nose.
Medical rhinoplasty is particularly interesting for Asian noses because it allows subtle changes to be made without surgery. Here's why this technique is increasingly chosen by Asian patients:
- Preserving ethnic features: one of the main aims of medical rhinoplasty on an Asian nose is to respect and preserve ethnic features while offering a subtle improvement. Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, which can sometimes produce results that are too transformative, medical rhinoplasty allows the shape of the nose to be adjusted gently and naturally, without altering the patient's identity. Patients are not looking for a westernised nose, but for a more attractive nose that blends harmoniously into the face.
- Improving the nasal bridge without surgery: one of the most frequent requests from Asian patients concerns the projection of the nasal bridge, which is often flatter or less defined than in other ethnic groups. Medical rhinoplasty uses hyaluronic acid injections to enhance the bridge of the nose and give it greater definition. This method is quick, requires no social contact and gives immediate results.
- Immediate and adjustable results: another advantage of medical rhinoplasty is that the results are visible immediately after the procedure, so patients can see the effects quickly. What's more, these results are adjustable: if the patient is not satisfied with the final result, it is possible to dissolve the hyaluronic acid or correct the volumes with a new injection. This flexibility is particularly appreciated when it comes to adjusting the proportions of the nose to suit individual aesthetic preferences.
- No social withdrawal: unlike surgery, which often requires several weeks' convalescence, medical rhinoplasty is a fast procedure that requires no recovery time. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the session, with only minor redness or swelling that disappears within a few hours or days.
- Subtle, natural improvement: medical rhinoplasty produces subtle, natural results, without the "surgical effect". The corrections made are gentle and gradual, giving the nose a harmonious appearance without upsetting the overall balance of the face.
L'hyaluronic acid is the only filler that can be used in medical rhinoplasty: Radiesse, collagen and Sculptra are contraindicated. This product can be used to sculpt the contours of the nose, add volume to the nasal bridge or tip and erase certain imperfections.
The results are visible immediately after the injection, and generally last between 9 and 12 months before the product is reabsorbed by the body.
Medical rhinoplasty is a quick and simple procedure carried out in the office by an experienced doctor.
Before the procedure, a consultation is necessary to assess the patient's aesthetic goals and discuss the desired results. The doctor will analyse the structure of the nose and propose a personalised treatment.
Before the injection, the skin is disinfected. An anaesthetic cream can be applied to minimise discomfort during the procedure.
Dr Romano injects small quantities of hyaluronic acid into targeted areas of the nose. The product is injected using a fine cannula to ensure even distribution and a natural result. Dr Romano only uses the cannula to avoid any risk of necrosis.
Increasingly widespread in Korea, Japan and Taiwan, the 'Nose thread lift' technique is simply a nose lift using tensor threads.
Threads are used to define and straighten the contour of the nose, project the dorsum, lift the tip and better define the base of the nose.
These threads are absorbable, and the result lasts for about a year.
After a local anaesthetic, PDO sutures are placed in the columella and dorsum. The route, tip and depth of placement depend on the anatomy of the nose.
Medical rhinoplasty offers many advantages for Asian patients wishing to improve their nose without surgery.
- Natural, subtle results: one of the main advantages of medical rhinoplasty is that it produces subtle, natural results. Corrections are made gently, without any radical transformations, thus respecting the proportions and balance of the Asian face.
- Fast, non-invasive procedure: medical rhinoplasty is a fast procedure that requires no surgery, general anaesthetic or social withdrawal. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the session.
- Reversible results: as hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body, it can be dissolved in the event of unsatisfactory results. This allows the treatment to be adjusted or corrected without any permanent effect.
- No recovery time: unlike surgery, medical rhinoplasty requires no recovery time. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
