Paint Your Own Portrait

Born and raised in Hawaii, Dr. Megan Morisada is proud to provide her services to the Honolulu and greater island community. After years of study and experience in the mainland U.S. and Korea, Dr. Morisada understands Asian facial structure. Her diverse experience has exposed her to many people and concepts of personal beauty, each unique and special. Asian Rhinoplasty is one of Dr. Megan’s specialties. Patients come to her to address specific concerns such as a flat nasal bridge, bulbous tip, or wide nostrils. Whatever your image of beauty, Dr. Morisada will help you paint your own portrait—the look you envision, natural and refined. 

A Precise Procedure

Asian rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and typically lasts from one to three hours. Dr. Morisada will typically perform an open rhinoplasty technique based on your specific features and desired results. In the open approach, a small incision is made between the nostrils, allowing full access to the nasal structure for precise reshaping.

Adjustments may be made to the nasal bridge, tip, or base to create a balanced, natural-looking enhancement that respects and complements your unique appearance. It is not uncommon for Dr. Morisada to use your own cartilage from either the nasal septum, ear, or rib for grafting in order to achieve the most optimal, lasting results.

Rest and Recover

After surgery, you’ll receive detailed post-operative care instructions to promote a smooth healing process. Dr. Morisada may place a small splint on your nose to protect it and help maintain its shape during the early stages of recovery. Strenuous activities will need to be avoided for a few weeks, and you’ll have scheduled follow-up visits to track your healing. Dr. Morisada and her team will be available to support you with any questions or concerns, ensuring you feel comfortable and well-cared for as you rest and recover.

What Are the Benefits of Asian Rhinoplasty?

Asian rhinoplasty in Honolulu at Rei Facial Plastic Surgery offers several advantages, including:

  • Customized aesthetic outcomes: The procedure is targeted to enhance the natural beauty of Asian facial features while achieving desired changes.
  • Improved proportions: Enhancing the nose can create a more balanced and proportionate facial profile.
  • Natural-looking and long-lasting results: Dr. Morisada focuses on achieving authentic and subtle results, avoiding an over-operated look. By using your own cartilage for grafting, the risk of foreign body complications is minimized and you can expect your results to last a lifetime. 
  • Enhanced self-confidence: Many patients experience a boost in self-esteem after their surgery.

Radiant Results

Recovery from Asian rhinoplasty generally involves some swelling and bruising. Any discomfort can be managed with medication, as prescribed by Dr. Morisada. Light activities can typically be resumed within a week, while more intense exercise should be avoided for a few weeks. As swelling subsides and the tissues heal over the next few months, you can see the radiant results of your transformed nose.
