Sumario: | SUMMARY: There has been a tremendous growth of cosmetic surgery among Asians worldwide. Rhinoplasty is second only to blepharoplasty in terms of popularity among Asians regarding cosmetic surgical procedures.

This article will review the many facets of Asian rhinoplasty as it is practiced today. |
