Ethnic & Asian-Specific Considerations

How do you keep results looking natural for my specific ethnicity?

Natural results start with designing around your existing facial proportions and skin characteristics, not applying a template borrowed from a different facial structure. A bridge height or tip shape that looks natural on one ethnicity's typical proportions can look disconnected or overdone on another's, even at the exact same measurements.

Dr. Kim's extensive experience with international and multicultural patients informs this specifically — he calibrates bridge height, tip projection, and overall proportion relative to your individual facial structure and skin type, rather than a fixed idea of an "ideal" nose that ignores where you're starting from.

Consultation Tip

Bring photos of your face at rest and from multiple angles — this gives Dr. Kim a clear starting reference for your specific proportions, which is the foundation for a design that looks natural on you specifically.
