Asian Rhinoplasty Maintains the Ethnic Beauty of the Asian Nose

    BEVERLY HILLS, CA, July 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Asian nose surgery differs from other rhinoplasty procedures because of the differences in anatomical structure inherent to the Asian nose. Board-Cerftified, Dr. Kimberly Lee, a female Facial Plastic Surgeon in Beverly Hills, is aware of these challenges and can provide patients a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result that fits their faces while maintaining their identities.

Dr. Kimberly Lee understands that the Asian nose can have the following unique attributes: thicker skin, low bridge, short and flat bones, weaker cartilage, wide and bulbous nasal tip, and wider / flaring nostrils. She believes that Asian Rhinoplasty can be successful only with a thorough understanding of this nasal anatomy.

Dr. Lee understands that due to the weaker cartilage and thicker skin inherent to an Asian nose, special attention needs to be made to the definition of the nasal tip. As a specialist in Asian Rhinoplasty, she also sees patients who require revision work to correct bad surgery. Often times, it is the use of implants or foreign material that has led to complications or overzealous resection of the nasal cartilage in an effort to refine a nasal tip resulting in loss of projection and a pinched nasal tip.

Dr. Lee prefers grafts from the patient's own cartilage as opposed to silicone or Gore-Tex implants other surgeons favor. She makes personalized recommendations based on the individual nose and facial structure of each patient.

While Asian nose surgery frequently involves nose augmentation, Caucasian rhinoplasty usually involves nose reduction. Asian patients seeking rhinoplasty surgery often request a thinner nasal bridge, increased nasal projection, nostril narrowing, and tip refinement, among other more specific concerns.

Rhinoplasty is not a one size fits all procedure, and Asian rhinoplasty is not simply a westernization of an Asian nose. Individualized consultation and planning combined with Dr. Lee's expertise in Asian rhinoplasty (including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Cambodian, Thai, etc.) insures that each patient receives the highest quality care possible.

Dr. Kimberly Lee can provide patients with an ethnically beautiful, yet balanced face. For more information, please visit www.kimberlyleemd.com.
