Asian rhinoplasty is about adding structure, not taking away, by building definition where it’s lacking—especially at the bridge and tip, for a natural, elegant result.

Dr. Jimmy C. Sung
Asian noses, while diverse, often exhibit distinct characteristics that make them unique. Therefore, it’s imperative to choose a skilled plastic surgeon who not only possesses technical expertise but also understands the subtle nuances of the Asian face.
While many Asian patients request a higher nasal bridge, increased length, and a more defined tip, Dr. Sung works closely with them to create a personalized rhinoplasty approach that enhances their one-of-a-kind facial features.

Immediately after surgery, the nose and eyes are usually bruised and swollen. Splints will remain inside and outside the nose for a few days. Most patients feel like themselves within a few days and can return to regular activities one week after the procedure. During recovery, patients should refrain from strenuous exercise, wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, and avoid any activity that puts pressure on the nose.
Although there may be swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes after surgery, these side effects will subside on their own in a few weeks. For final results, it often takes months to years for patients to see. The scars are well-concealed and usually fade until they are virtually undetectable.
It may take up to a year for all the swelling to subside, especially the nasal tip. For those patients with thick skin, it takes up to two years and reveals the fine features resulting from the rhinoplasty. Dr. Sung will follow up with you closely throughout this period. Patients may choose to undergo a revision rhinoplasty later if they desire any more nasal improvement.

The term "nose job" is often used interchangeably with rhinoplasty, especially given the procedure's popularity among Asian patients. However, “nose job” is a broader term that includes other nasal surgeries and cosmetic procedures beyond rhinoplasty.
Like all facial features, the results will continue to evolve with age. This is especially true for Asian patients, as the more significant amount of soft tissue in their noses can result in refinements taking years to fully emerge. For this reason, it’s essential to trust your rhinoplasty to an experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in Asian procedures, like Dr. Sung.
If you are unhappy with the results of a past Asian rhinoplasty surgery, Dr. Sung will gladly meet with you to consult on what options you can take moving forward. Whether you are dissatisfied with the general appearance or face obstructed breathing and other issues, Dr. Sung is dedicated to providing carefully crafted solutions.
We suggest you abstain from smoking, alcohol consumption, blood-thinning medications, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during the week leading up to your rhinoplasty. Be mindful to drink plenty of water. Additionally, plan what you’ll want on hand immediately after surgery—this often includes over-the-counter medications and ready-to-eat soft foods.
