Asian Rhinoplasty commonly involves making a stronger nasal bridge, refining the tip, lengthening the nose, and narrowing the nostrils. The bridge can be augmented using artificial materials such as Gore-Tex or Silicon, tissue from another body, or your own tissue. Artifical materials may simplify the procedure but have higher chance of infection and complications Dr. Razfar prefers to use your own tissue to enhance the bridge.
The nasal tip is another common area that needs to be strengthened and refined with cartilage grafts. Dr. Razfar utilizes the most advanced cartilage harvesting techniques to maximize the use of graft material from inside the nose. However, in many cases cartilage from the ear and commonly from the rib are needed for optimal results.
