Dr. Kim's Asian Rhinoplasty Procedure
The Asian Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles is one of the most popular versions of a rhinoplasty many asian individuals seek when addressing their interest in ehancing their nasal profile. At CK Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kim has nearly 3 decades of experience, equipting him with the best set of skills in asian facial anatomy to carry out this procedure.
Typically, the Rhinoplasty procedure has been viewed as a "one-size-fits-all" procedure, however the truth is exactly the opposite. This is why one of the most common procedures at Dr. Kim's CK Plastic Surgery is the Asian Rhinoplasty, a more personalized approach to the traditional rhinoplasty designed specifically for Asian individuals. This procedure allows patients who wish to refine the appearance of their nose, without having a standard Rhinoplasty "look".
What is an Asian Rhinoplasty?
The most common areas Dr. Kim has noticed is a concern in patients are the Nasal Tip, Nostrils, and Nasal Bridge. In many of Dr. Kim's Asian pateints, the lower lateral cartilage ( Also refered to as the tip cartilage ) is often shorter and softer, leading to a less rigid appearance nasal tip. Dr. Kim's Asian Rhinoplasty procedure, using a highly specilized technique, addresses this by providing more structural support for individuals who are looking to have a more rigid, defined, and projected nasal shape, while having a natural and balanced appearance from all angles.
During the Asian Rhinoplasty procedure, Dr. Kim's patients are placed under general anesthesia to ensure total comfort during his work. To achieve the most safe and natural-looking results, Dr. Kim will use the patients rib area to graft cartilage which will be then used to create a more defined profile in the nasal area. In addition to redefining the shape and appearance of the patient's nasal tip, Dr. Kim can use this technique to increase the height and definition of the nasal bridge area. During this procedure, Dr. Kim will create a narrower and more refined nose suiting each patients goals.
If the patient prefers, or requests to do so, Dr. Kim can also use a medical-grade implant made from Silicone or Gore-tex, in the place of the grafted cartilage. This request is common and safe, with silicone being highly customizable and Gore-Tex typically creating a softer look.
