Rhinoplasty Strategies for Oriental Women

The nose is located in the center of the human face and is prominent. Changes in the shape of the nose is very important in the aesthetic aspect of the face, so the beauty and ugliness of the nose shape plays an important role in the beauty of the human face, especially for women who love the beauty of the female friends, there is a showy nose often play the role of the eye-catching. Nose from the medical anatomy can be roughly divided into two parts: the nose of the bony scaffolding and soft tissue cover. Westerners have a strong bony scaffolding, bone and cartilage development is good, the soft tissue is covered by the thin, so Westerners are big nose, nose three-dimensional sense of strong; while the Oriental nose bony scaffolding weak, bone and cartilage development is weak, and soft tissue is covered by the skin subcutaneous tissues are thicker. To draw an analogy, the Western nose is the inner frame steel tube, outside the cover silk; Oriental nose is the inner frame bamboo poles, outside the cover quilt. Therefore, the nose of the Oriental people tend to be collapsed bridge, meat nose. To summarize, compared with western women, oriental women’s noses often have more obvious shortcomings: low and flat nose, nose length is not enough, the tip of the nose is rounded and hypertrophied, nasal groove is not obvious, nostrils are wide towards the sky, the whole nose lacks of three-dimensional sense. Therefore, rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries for oriental women. Compared to the western rhinoplasty strategy, which focuses on “removal”, the oriental people need more “filling”. Simple rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries, which is to increase the height of the nose by placing a nasal prosthesis into the back of the nose. This surgery is simple and easy to perform, but the result is often unsatisfactory, especially when too long and too high a prosthesis is applied to increase the height and length of the nose, coupled with the post-surgical sinking of the prosthesis, which leads to thinning of the skin at the tip of the nose, contractures, breakage, scarring, and lifelong regrets. Secondly, rhinoplasty cannot well solve the defects such as hypertrophy of nasal tip, inconspicuous nasal groove, and wide nostrils toward the sky. Therefore, nose cosmetic surgery for oriental women is a comprehensive surgery, not just a simple increase in the height of the nose. According to the characteristics of oriental women’s nose, rhinoplasty prescriptions and strategies: ① Placement of nasal prosthesis to increase the height of the root and dorsum of the nose, and through the trimming of the prosthesis to make the nose more in line with the aesthetic characteristics of the nose. ②Transplantation of autologous auricular cartilage at the tip of the nose increases the length of the nose, highlights the upper point of the tip, and more importantly, protects the skin of the tip of the nose to prevent the prosthesis from sinking and the tip of the nose from scar contracture. ③ Remove the subcutaneous soft tissues at the nasal tip and nasal groove to correct hypertrophy of the nasal tip and deepen the nasal groove. ④ Reduce the nostrils at the base of the nostrils to correct the wide nostrils, and the postoperative scar is not obvious. ⑤ Separate and match the bilateral nasal cartilages to narrow the width of the nasal tip and enhance the tip projection. Having a beautiful nose is often the common pursuit of oriental women after rhinoplasty, it is recommended that oriental female friends according to the characteristics of their own nose to choose a comprehensive cosmetic surgery correction, in order to achieve the effect of the finishing touch.
