Course Overview: 

​

Asian Rhinoplasty has evolved over time from a closed technique and insertion of nasal silicone implants to an open rhinoplasty technique with specific improvements to the nasal bridge, nasal tip, and nasal base. This evolution has been prompted by the increasing affluence of Asian patients, sophistication and higher demands from individuals who want a nose that fits the Asian face and not just a 'westernized nose. This hands-on master class will teach you:

• Clinical Assessment of the Nose Region in Caucasian and Asian Patients 

• Understand the Differences between Open and Closed Rhinoplasty: Patient Selection 

• Step-by-Step Technique of Harvest, Shaping & Securing of Grafts 

• Step-by-Step Technique of Asian Tip Plasty: Cartilage Graft and Suture Techniques 

• Step-by-Step Technique of Advanced Dosal Refinement & Nasal Base Reduction for Asians

• Complication Management & Revision Rhinoplasty
