Asian Male Rhinoplasty

초록

In the new millennium, there has been a surge in men seeking plastic surgery, particularly in Asia, driven by evolving beauty standards and the rise of social media. This trend underscores the need for a specialized approach to male rhinoplasty, especially for Asian males. Asian male noses often have thick skin, a short and broad nasal bridge, and under-projected tips, among other unique features. In surgical practice, augmenting the bridge often requires grafts, either from autologous tissue or artificial implants. It is crucial to account for individual facial proportions when making decisions about nasal height and other dimensions. Considerations, especially for secondary procedures, must consider the thick skin and potential complications from prior use of silicone implants during the Asian male rhinoplasty. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
