I’m a 24-year-old male Asian American

Question:
I’m a 24-year-old male Asian American. My nose is very wide and looks too large for my face. Because of my heritage, will it be necessary to build up my nasal bridge as well as narrow it to get the best results from a rhinoplasty?

Answer:
Needless to say, having photographs of you would enable me to make a better assessment of the changes to your nose that would bring your nose into better harmony with your face. Often times, building the bridge in conjunction with narrowing and defining the nasal tip are the changes to the nose that Asian Americans are looking for in rhinoplasty.
