Bridge height is never determined by a single standard or ethnicity-specific formula — it's calculated relative to your individual facial proportions, including your forehead height, eye spacing, chin projection, and skin thickness, regardless of where you're traveling from.
That said, Dr. Kim's extensive experience with international and multicultural patients does inform how he approaches this calculation in practice — he's calibrated his eye for what looks harmonious across a genuinely wide range of facial structures and skin types, not just the proportions most common among Korean patients. This experience matters because a bridge height that looks natural on one facial structure can look disproportionate on another, even at the exact same measurement.
Consultation Tip
Bring photos of your face at rest and smiling from multiple angles to your video consultation — this gives Dr. Kim an early sense of your facial proportions well before your in-person 3D CT confirms the details.
