Caucasian Patients
Caucasian patients typically choose rhinoplasty for one or more of the following benefits:
- Reducing the size of the nose
- Reshaping the bridge or tip of the nose
- Resizing the width of the nostrils
Asian Patients
Dr. Ching specializes in rhinoplasty for Asian patients who typically are interested in:

How is rhinoplasty performed?
Dr. Ching performs rhinoplasty as an outpatient procedure in about 1 to 3 hours. The surgical techniques he uses vary greatly depending on the concerns of the patient, but they include one of the following approaches:
- Closed rhinoplasty is performed with entirely internal nasal incisions. Scars are typically hidden within the nose.
- Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across a portion of the nose between the nostrils, called the columella. This area generally heals with an invisible scar. The advantage of this approach is greater control over reshaping of the cartilage of the tip of the nose.
During surgery, the bridge of the nose may be shaved down to remove any bumps or humps. If areas need to be built up, Dr. Ching may use cartilage from the nose or ear, as well as silicone implants.
