Asian Rhinoplasty Seattle With Dr. Allegra

Rhinoplasty is used often and helps many patients achieve their goals for facial symmetry. It can help restructure the nasal passage, get rid of large humps, or provide a better, straighter appearance. However, traditional rhinoplasty is not designed for those of ethnic origin and does not work with their unique facial structure. This can make it difficult for Asian ethnicities to undergo a rhinoplasty suited to their features.

At Northwest Face & Body, Dr. Ludwig Allegra has worked to change that and provides Asian rhinoplasty for every patient in Seattle. He understands the need to create a rhinoplasty that can bring symmetry while maintaining your unique features.

Understanding Asian Rhinoplasty

Asian rhinoplasty Seattle differs from traditional because rather than taking away from the noose, the goal of Asian rhinoplasty is to build up the bridge of the nose and provide a more prominent structure. This surgery also creates a slender but more pronounced nose tip to create a stunning and subtle contrast. 

Dr. Allegra understands beauty and facial symmetry better than most and specializes in Asian cosmetic surgeries. He understands the need for facial symmetry but will maintain the patient’s unique facial structure and beauty.

Risks

Certain risks come with any surgery, but Asian rhinoplasty Seattle is a delicate surgery that a surgeon with knowledge and experience should perform due to the nature of the procedure. Dr. Allegra can provide safe and effective Asian rhinoplasty for every patient. Some risks can include:
  • Implant extrusion
  • Scarring
  • Difficulty healing
  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Negative reaction to anesthesia

Dr. Allegra’s Asian Rhinoplasty Technique

Dr. Allegra uses specific techniques to ensure patient safety throughout the procedure. It’s commonly known that using implants for rhinoplasty can be dangerous as you risk implant extrusion. Implant extrusion occurs when the implant begins to protrude through the outside of the skin.

Safety With Asian Rhinoplasty Seattle

Dr. Allegra uses techniques to avoid implant extrusion and help prevent any unwanted complications. He uses an implant in the bridge of the nose, but the patient’s own cartilage for the tip is where the implant extrusion commonly occurs. By doing this, he prevents implant extrusion as the body can safely accept the cartilage.

Cartilage Nasal Implants

The nose tip is where Dr. Allegra will use cartilage implants during your Asian rhinoplasty Seattle. He will create a striking nose tip and lift the nose to a more delicate and pronounced location. The cartilage can be taken from the patient’s ears or ribs, depending on their preference. Using cartilage in the nose tip provides secure, safe Asian rhinoplasty that can significantly alter the nose shape.

Implants For The Nasal Bridge

For an Asian rhinoplasty Seattle, the nasal bridge requires an implant as this structure needs more support. However, Dr. Allegra understands the importance of safety, so he commonly uses an implant that will blend seamlessly with the patient’s nose. This preferred implant is the Medpor implant. It is made of porous polyethylene, allowing it to form the nasal bridge. 

Dr. Allegra can also use a silicone implant, which is far less common due to the slight risk of implant extrusion. However, the risk is extremely rare in the nasal bridge, but it is still safer to use the Medpor implant. 

Asian Rhinoplasty Revision

For those who have had an Asian rhinoplasty that used a harsher kind of implant and are now facing complications, Dr. Allegra can perform an Asian rhinoplasty revision. During this, he will remove the old implant and recreate the nasal structure with his safe and effective techniques. This requires a delicate hand and expertise in Asian rhinoplasty Seattle. He can create a stunning, symmetrical appearance for the nose and help you avoid any future complications from your rhinoplasty. 

Asian Rhinoplasty Seattle Steps

The first step in undergoing an Asian rhinoplasty is attending an in-depth consultation with Dr. Allegra. Through this consultation, Dr. Allegra will ensure you can undergo the surgery safely and are the right candidate for Asian rhinoplasty. After this, he will create the perfect plan for your Asian rhinoplasty to achieve your aesthetic goals.

The Procedure

Your Asian rhinoplasty procedure depends on your unique needs and facial structure. However, Dr. Allegra will perform your Asian rhinoplasty or revision surgery. The entire surgical process takes three to four hours, depending on the extent of your rhinoplasty.

  • Take the first few days or a week off of work to rest
