The Asian Nose Bridge Procedure

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Korean Rhinoplasty

Asian nose bridge procedures, like any other nose surgery, is a very complex procedure that should only be done by a professional. However, it is also one of the most efficient procedures for improving the shape of the nose and the overall look of a patient’s face. If completed successfully, Korean rhinoplasty is a very positive visual outcome for patients, and boosts their self-esteem almost instantly.

What the Asian nose bridge surgery includes

The first step is to discuss in detail the final look of your nose that you would like to have. This is something that is discussed with your plastic surgeon, and it is the best time to focus on every aspect of the surgery and to learn as much as you can about it. With today’s’ advancements in technology, you will also be able to see a graphic demo of the final look on a computer, which will give you a better idea of what you can expect.

Once this is done, the doctor will go ahead and decide the size, shape, and type of implant for your nose. This choice depends on the current size and shape of your nose, and what the final product needs to look like.

The incision to insert this implant is done inside the nose, so that you would not have any visible scars once the healing process is complete. The operation is done under general anaesthesia, so the patient is not placed under any stress during the operation. An experienced doctor will know how to place the implant in such a way that it stays perfectly still inside the nose and does not cause any problems in the future. This is why it is especially important that you pick the right experts for your Asian nose surgery.

After care for your Asian nose bridge surgery

Patients generally wear a nasal splint for about a week, which insures that your new implant will heal perfectly and that there will be no irregularities created on the nose. Nose operations are generally very safe procedures, and any potential scarring or infections are very rare. However, you should always keep in mind that your involvement is also important and that you need to make sure that you adhere to your doctor’s advice at all times.

According to plastic surgery statistics, nose jobs are some of the most popular plastic surgery procedures available. Both men and women who choose to have them often do so to give their face a better shape. A good nose also brings out a person’s eyes, lips and overall face shape. These procedures also help people who have trouble breathing because of a previous deviation. Plastic surgery is not only about the physical appearance of a person, but also about making their life better and easier. Of course, nothing is good if it is taken to the extreme, but with a good doctor and a clear idea of what you want, plastic surgery will give you excellent results.
