Many authors have published text on rhinoplasty of Caucasians but there have been limited publishments dedicated to the Asian nose alone.
The structure of the nose for Asians is fundamentally different from that of Caucasians. Thus, the principle of surgery and surgical materials are significantly different. As a surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty in Asia, it has been my dream and goal to publish a book for Asian rhinoplasty.
The level of plastic surgery in Korea, especially rhinoplasty, is very high and many surgeons from various parts of Asia visit Korea to learn Korean rhinoplasty techniques. While educating these surgeons, I have felt the need to publish a text focusing on Asian rhinoplasty.
I hope that this book may be of help for those who are interested in Asian rhinoplasty.
I thank Dr. Seung Jong Lee and Dr. Yong Seok Hwang for their participation in publishing this book and Dr. Han Jo Kim for English translation. I also thank the editors, designer and illustrator.
I dedicate this book to my loving wife and proud son.
