< Paranasal Augmentation

The Asian face is often wider than the Occidental face and not as contoured. If the nose seems flat and the nasolabial folds have deepened with aging, synthetic implants inserted from an incision placed either inside the mouth or around the edge of the nose can help to fill out the depression.

Because some feel that paranasal augmentation makes a face with such features appear more elegant, the procedure has been called the "noble face surgery."

A similar but less striking and short-lasting improvement can be achieved by injection of fat or dermal fillers such as Radiesse ® or Juvederm ®.
