Rhinoplasty surgery is a very popular method to enable women to alter the shape of their nose, and many women of Asian descent prefer to have a more prominent bridge to their nose, as it is a genetic disposition for Asian people to have a minimal bridge of the nose. Thousands of Thai women, for example, have undergone this treatment and are very happy with the outcome, and if you would like to join them, here are some tips on finding the best plastic surgeon to carry out the procedure.

Sourcing the Best Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon

Starting with a Google search, you can quickly find plastic surgery clinics that specialise in rhinoplasty (called เสริมปีกจมูก in Thai), and the best clinics are to be found in Bangkok, which has been a global hub for many years for all types of cosmetic plastic surgery, particularly the nose job, as it is often called.

Open and Closed Rhinoplasty

There are two main types of this operation; open and closed rhinoplasty, the difference being that in open rhinoplasty, the incisions are made in the soft tissue that is found between the nostrils, while closed rhinoplasty involves making the incisions on the inner surfaces of the nostrils. The method used would very much depend on the changes you have in mind and the surgeon would determine the best method after an initial examination.

Why Bangkok?

A good question, and the answer is that the very best clinics are located in the City of Angels, as Bangkok is often called, and the reason for this is that Bangkok has gained a reputation as being the hub for all types of cosmetic plastic surgery, which includes breast augmentation and rhinoplasty.

The Initial Consultation

Most clinics will offer you a free first consultation, during which several things can be established. Firstly, the surgeon would want to know in what way you wish to have the shape of your nose altered, then he would examine your nose and decide what the best procedure would be. Another important aspect of this meeting would be to make you fully aware of the risks involved (there are risks with all forms of surgery), plus he would outline in detail, exactly what the process involves. In the event you would like to enlarge the bridge of your nose, some bone or cartilage might have to be grafted from another area of the body, which is normal for this type of surgery.

It is very important for the surgeon to know that you are fully aware of the entire process, including the post operation recovery, which can take as long as a couple of months to fully heal. Assuming that you are happy with everything and would like to proceed, the clinic would schedule your surgery for a date that is convenient for you, and then you can prepare accordingly.

After you have fully recovered, your nose will look exactly like you wanted and there will be no visible scars or indeed any evidence that you ever had rhinoplasty.
