Asian nose aesthetics | Reposition nostrils vs lengthening the nose?

  
  
  

One of the most common changes Asians are seeking is the shape of the nose.  The majority of Asian rhinoplasty is to increase the height of the bridge and tip of the nose (also called augmentation rhinoplasty). 

One area many Asians patients get confused is assessing the length of the nose.  Many patient ask to have their nostrils reposition to a higher location.  However, many of these patients have what I believe to be a short nose.   A short nose appearance is frequently associated with a retracted columella  (The columella is the structure between the nostrils).  This finding is best appreciated on your profile view.  In some cases where the columella is too retracted, the nostrils can have an appearance of "hooding" over the columella. 

To address these finding, lengthening the nose (in addition to building the bridge and tip) may create more aesthetic harmony to the nose.

I had a nose augmentation in 1972. Am I a candidate for a redo - for a nose augmentation?

The ‘Nose Secret’ product is, quite simply, nothing short of AMAZING!!!  
 
This product is very unusual in both that it has such a rudimentary, and easy to use, design AND (best of all) the FACT that IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!  
 
If anyone is even remotely considering having rhinoplasty – my advice is that they (save themselves lots of time, money, trouble, discomfort and uncertainly of results, by making the decision to) first try Nose Secret. 
 
The impact of this small device is so incredible that, after having used it, a person may change their mind about having rhinoplasty surgery altogether. 
 
The Nose Secret product is quick, easy, effective, essentially invisible and totally pain-free to use. 
 
In addition (unlike the typical ‘cookie cutter’-styled results that are so very commonly found among people who have had surgical nose jobs), the Nose Secret product seems to have the phenomenal ability to provide a customized-enhancement of a person’s nose features-- by presenting (in a mere matter of seconds to minutes) both ‘a more naturally-refined’ and ‘a more distinctively-designed’ version of the person’s natural nose. 
 
The customized-enhancement and refinement (complete with the ability to even induce ‘an upward tilt’ of the tip) of one’s nose, that is provided via using Nose Secret, results in the user of this product displaying a nose that appears to be a more accurate, uniform, symmetrical and complimentary match with all of their remaining facial features – and has the capacity to do so with far less time, money, and uncertainty of results than one would find with standard rhinoplasty surgery. 
 
Nose Secret is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- as it TRULY WORKS WONDERS !!! 
 
 
(ALSO -- whenever their customers TYPE-IN the letters "RENE" inside the coupon-code field at their website -- the company will even TAKE an additional 10% OFF the full cost the order.)

That's a pretty interesting statistic.
