this person had alar base reduction surgery. there are small incisions made in the creases on the side of the nose. a small portion is removed and then resewn. it heals beautifully and you can't even tell there was an incision made there if done well. a lot of asians also get this done as the width of the nose tends to be wide (and gets even wider when you smile).

Female patient from London who came specifically to New York seeking Dr. Rizk’s signature 3-Dimensional High Definition Rhinoplasty technique. She had a Rhinoplasty with nostril reduction and is shown here 1 month post-operatively.

You might think that the before and after are two different people.. but they are not.. check out http://rhinoplastysurgeonnyc.wordpress.com/category/rhinoplasty-before-after/
and see the photos side by side..

I am seriously very impressed with the above work (though I am a Chinese).
How is the above transformation even technically possible?

The width of the nose is reduced by half...?! Are you going to cut out the entire lower half of your nose and pushed the alar inwards by half of the inital width..?

Anyone knows?

It looks too good to be true! what do you all think?

yes looks like she had cartilage removed from the tip as well as a bridge implant of some sort. also her chin looks different, the underbite is gone. but that could be just the way she is holding her mouth.

I'm new to this board, and I've been researching plastic surgeons to go to for a revision. I didn't do my research when I had first gotten my nose done, and got a doctor who wasn't very experienced in Asian rhinoplasty. I have to say his work on other noses is great, but on mine, not so much. I think it looks fake, too tall, and crooked. It looks like the same nose I had before, except a lot more prominent and beak-like. My relatives say that my face looks a lot longer now. I want to go get my nose done abroad since the doctors there seem to have a lot more experience with Asian plastic surgery. I've been looking into the Philippines, and was wondering if there are any plastic surgeons that anyone can recommend from there? I've been corresponding with Dr. Carlos Lasa. He's been very quick to e-mail responses, but hasn't sent any of his before and after photos yet. I'm mainly interested in getting my nostrils reduced, but don't want to end up with a pinched, triangular elf-like nose, and don't want to pay an arm and a leg for a nose revision. I'm very impressed by Dr. Rino Lorenzo, and have yet to contact him, but if anyone can recommend a great rhinoplasty surgeon from the Philippines, I would very much appreciate it! :smile1:

Here is Dr. Lorenzo's work:

Thanks for the reply.. for the above work.. do you think that significant tip work has been done too? It looks much smaller and defined.

most definitely! the tip is narrower and elevated. there's been placement of a strut for more support as well. it gives a softer look to the hump taken down from her nasal bones.

asiangirl: there are a lot of asian rhinoplasty specialists in the US. personally, i feel more comfortable getting it done in the US, where i know if there is a problem or complication, i can get it fixed. not even the best specialists can guarantee you won't have a problem or need a touch up afterwards. my friend had hers done in beverly hills. pm me if you want her doc's info.

stylinchica, did your friend get the alar base reduction done as well? my former surgeon is offering to do it for me if absolutely necessary, but judging from my results after my rhinoplasty without it, i'm not sure if i would trust him to. i'm afraid i might end up with the pinched, triangular, cookie-cutter jackson family look.

i've heard about dr. charles lee from beverly hills. i'm not sure if that's who you were referring to, but i'm not really impressed with the results that i've seen on his page. i've heard that he is supposed to be pretty good, but i have thick skin, and i'd like to find someone who is REALLY good with alar base reduction to increase my chances of a positive outcome. maybe i'm wrong, and maybe dr. lee is more skilled than i think, but i think i'll keep looking. the doctors i'm interested in the US are out of my price range, and i'm getting tired of having a crooked beak nose.

when i had gotten my nose done, i told my doctor that i wanted a slimmer nose, and his solution was to put an implant in my nose, which in turn would give it the illusion of a slimmer appearance. the problem is that i already have a fairly tall nose. now i'm paranoid about getting a surgery done again in the US with the amount i can afford to pay. i'm afraid the surgeons in the US don't have as much experience with asian noses as doctors abroad who mainly work on asian noses.

Hi everyone. I have read most of your postings about dr. Jung Dong Hak that does rhinoplasty in Seoul Korea. I would like to know what website i must go into in order to contact with the Shimmian Rhinoplasty Clinic? I would like to undergo a nose job performed by the famed Dr. Jung. Please help. Greatly Appreciate. Oh...i can't read Korean. A phone number is also helpful too. Greatly appreciative.

Does anyone have any experience/ comments about seeing Dr Samieh Rizk for an asian rhinoplasty? Can anyone please be kind enough to give your truthful comments / personal experience (if you have) with him?

I am still in the phase of research oforsurgeons cos I can only get my nose done next year... Dr Rizk is one of my shortlisted surgeons but I am not too sure about him.

Thanks... his website is http://www.drsamrizk.com/ <- you can view his asian before and after photos in his website.. some of his photos look too good to be true though. sorry if this is offending.. but do you think it could be photoshopped? or am i thinking too much?

Any help is greatly appreciated... thanks! :D
