Asian Rhinoplasty
If you are wanring an alternative to injections to augment the bridge of your nose or just want a higher dorsum/bridge then Augmentation rhinoplasty can work for you.
Patients present to us for Augmentation rhinoplasty to reduce the size of their nostrils, lift the tip and augment the bridge or dorsum.
Having an Asian nose, anatomically means that the dorsum or bridge is under developed and the tip is flatter. This results in a broader nasal base and wider nostrils with a lack of tip defining points.
Asian Rhinoplasty or Augmentation Rhinoplasty is different from traditional Rhinoplasty. Traditional Rhinoplasty involves reducing the size of the nose. With Asian Rhinoplasty we are augmenting the bridge, narrowing the wide alar base (nostrils) and augmenting the tip.

Technique:
Augmentation of the Bridge
We augment the bridge of the nose by constructing a piece of cartilage to the shape of your dorsum. First an X-ray template of your bridge is made then a suitable piece of costal cartilage is harvested from you rib cage (through a small incision). The cartilage is then carved to the template made.
The nose is opened through a open rhinoplasty incision. The dorsum is opened narrowly as a tight pocket. The underlying bone is shaved to create a adhesion to the new cartilage graft. The cartilage graft is secured with sutures.
Other options include use of a silicone implant (not our preferred method) or diced cartilage wrapped in fascia.
Every procedure does have risks and these will be discussed with your during the consultation.
The Tip
Once the dorsum is augmented, attention turns to your tip.
Cartilage graft are to lift your tip through septal extension grafts and onlay cap grafts. This will increase the projection of your tip.
Narrowing of the Alar Base
The last step in Asian Rhinoplastys surgery is to narrow tha alar base and narrow the width of the nostrils. This is done by reducing the height and width of the alar base through alar base reduction.
Asian Rhinoplasty in Sydney: Tailored Techniques
When it comes to facial beauty, harmony is everything. A well-proportioned nose can quietly elevate the rest of the face, highlighting the eyes, balancing the jawline, and enhancing one’s natural elegance. Yet, when considering rhinoplasty, individuals of Asian descent often face a unique challenge: finding a surgeon who not only understands nasal anatomy, but who truly respects the cultural and aesthetic nuances that define the Asian face.

The Most Trusted Asian Rhinoplasty Surgeon Sydney Has
Asian rhinoplasty is not simply a variation of traditional rhinoplasty, but it is its own category of nasal surgery that requires a thoughtful, tailored approach. Individuals of East and Southeast Asian heritage typically have unique facial features that include a lower nasal bridge, a broader and flatter nasal tip, thicker skin with a more fibrofatty layer, weaker cartilage support, and shorter nasal bones.
The goal of Asian rhinoplasty is not to create a Western nose. Rather, it is to refine and enhance the nose in a way that maintains ethnic harmony while improving definition, height, and balance. Dr. Zoumaras brings both technical expertise and an artistic eye to this procedure. By tailoring his technique to the facial proportions, goals, and cultural identity of each patient, he ensures results that are both naturally beautiful and personally meaningful.
Every Asian rhinoplasty at Artiste Plastic Surgery begins with a conversation – what does the patient want to achieve? What is the ideal balance between enhancement and preservation? While every individual is different, some of the most common goals include augmenting the nasal bridge for a more defined profile, refining and supporting the nasal tip for better projection and contour, improving nasal length for better facial proportion, narrowing the nostrils or reducing alar flare or creating a more sculpted and elegant silhouette while preserving ethnic features. In many cases, achieving these goals requires adding structure, rather than removing it. This often involves the use of cartilage grafts from the patient’s ear or septum, or in some cases, biocompatible implants. The key is in choosing the right method for the facial anatomy and goals for each patient.
The beauty of Asian rhinoplasty lies in its customisation. There is no ideal nose, only the ideal nose for you.
