Rhinoplasty Considerations in the Ethnic Patient The East-asian Patients

Abstract

· Augmentation is one of the most important considerations in the rhinoplasty of East Asian patients. · Building a strong supporting structure in the septal framework is the key element for successful augmentation. · With the frequent usage of silicone implants in East Asian rhinoplasty, the surgeon should properly address the possible long-term adverse outcomes of silicone implants. Nasal deviation due to the displacement of the silicone implant or deformed and shortened nose due to the contracture in the tissues surrounding the silicone implant are the 2 most important features.
