Asian Rhinoplasty in Richmond Hill & Downtown Toronto:

Asian rhinoplasty is a specialized form of nasal surgery tailored to the unique structural and aesthetic characteristics of Asian patients. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which often focuses on reducing nose size, Asian rhinoplasty aims to enhance and support nasal features while maintaining cultural identity and facial harmony.

Dr. Chad Wu, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Richmond Hill and Downtown Toronto, is highly experienced in ethnic rhinoplasty techniques and takes a thoughtful, individualized approach to Asian nose surgery.

Understanding Asian Rhinoplasty

Many individuals of East Asian descent have nasal characteristics such as:

• A lower nasal bridge
• A wider nasal base
• Thicker skin and softer cartilage
• A less projected nasal tip

Rather than attempting to “Westernize” the nose, Dr. Wu works to refine and define these features using grafts, structural support, and advanced shaping techniques to create a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result that still looks natural.

Techniques Used in Asian Nose Surgery

Dr. Chad Wu offers both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques, depending on the goals and complexity of the case.

Common surgical refinements include:

• Bridge augmentation using cartilage grafts or synthetic implants
• Tip projection and definition with cartilage reshaping
• Nostril narrowing (alar base reduction) for improved proportion
• Dorsal refinement for a more elegant profile

Cartilage is often harvested from the septum or ear to create natural, long-lasting results.

Recovery and Post-Op Care

Asian rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 2—3 hours.

Recovery Overview:

• Swelling and bruising peak in the first week
• External splint removed after 7 days
• Most patients return to work within 7—10 days
• Full refinement visible after several months

As a trusted plastic surgeon in Richmond Hill and Downtown Toronto, Dr. Wu provides personalized post-operative instructions and close follow-up to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal healing.
