A Personal Note on Cosmetic Nose Surgery

Cosmetic Nose Surgery for a More Confident You

Way back when I was younger, my mother had this weird practice of pinching my nose while uttering the words “tubo, tubo, tubo,” which actually meant “grow, grow, grow.” I kept asking her why she had to keep doing it to me every morning. Her simple reply: “It is for you to look beautiful,” was convincing enough that I allowed her to constantly do it on me, sometimes even reminding her to do so.

As I grew up, I started to realize the exact rationale behind my mom’s peculiar drill, and why it had to be done on my nose amongst all other body parts. Being an Asian, a flat nose scenario is very common. Way back in the olden times, Asian mothers had to pinch their children’s nose either to prevent them from having flat noses or to physically tweak them if it was not as pointy. It only goes to show that through the years, noses can play a huge part in looking beautiful. So when one is not as blessed to have a highly defined nose, this can raise a concern to one’s total beauty. Universal aesthetic standards would reveal that an ideal nose is one that is proportional to his face and one that is a bit pointier. This, however, is not present in most Asians.

I remember my mom describing that her make-up rituals often included line techniques on her nose, to help define it and guise it to looking sharper and straighter. Unfortunately, the hitch of such methods was that as soon as sweat dripped on her face, her make-up lines slid down as well. This only left her looking hideous. What used to be a make-up trick is now magic all gone wrong.

What is cosmetic nose surgery?

My mom’s technology then wasn’t as great as what we have today. Now, there are various cosmetic surgeries that can help one enhance the state of beauty she is already in. Nose surgeries are a huge hit these days, and many Asians request for such procedures. Cosmetic nose surgery, generally known as Rhinoplasty, includes reshaping or modifying one’s nose to help boost the nasal features one already has, mainly for aesthetic purposes.

Are there different kinds of cosmetic nose surgeries?

Rhinoplasty branch out to different specialties, depending on which nose feature one wishes to enhance. There are those that can help modify the nasal bridge, the nasal tip, and even the nostrils. Whatever you need, there is definitely a nose surgery best for you.

Where can I have my cosmetic nose surgery done?

Since most rhinoplasty patients are from Asia, it comes as no surprise that Asia is the leading country to perform nose jobs. There are three top medical tourism destinations in Asia anyone can go to when they wish to have plastic surgery done. One country that is stands above the rest when it comes to plastic nose surgery is South Korea. They have enticed an increasing number of tourists, both for travel and medical purposes. There are several benefits of medical tourism in Korea, and one of these is access to the best surgeons in the world. Knowing this, you are guaranteed that you will be attended to by the most skilled and artistic during your cosmetic surgeries.

Do you want another aura in your face? Do you like something that can enhance your self-esteem? Then rhinoplasty is just what you need. Be part of the many Asians who are now glowing in confidence, all thanks to cosmetic nose surgery.
