nose should fit the aesthetic proportions of your face and permit the
delivery of air to the lungs without nasal airway obstruction.

Within the group of asian patients further subdivisions of types of noses exist so that the rhinoplasty has to be tailor made to meet each patient's desires and needs. These subdivisions involve various degrees of severity and combinations of a rounded tip, a flat bridge etc.
