Course Overview
Asian Rhinoplasty has evolved over time from a closed technique and insertion of nasal silicone implants to an open rhinoplasty technique with specific improvements to the nasal bridge, nasal tip, and nasal base. This evolution has been prompted by the increasing affluence of Asian patients, sophistication, and higher demands from individuals who want a nose that fits the Asian face and not just a 'westernized nose.
