Asian cosmetic surgery is a highly specialized branch of plastic surgery that requires a careful understanding of the ethnic characteristics, cultural expectations, and skin biology of the Asian population.
Dr. Roberto Roddi, with more than 35 years of experience and an international career that has taken him to operate in Europe and Asia, has developed a refined, respectful approach aimed at enhancing the natural harmony of the Asian face.
Understanding Asian beauty: beyond Western models
In aesthetics, the perception of beauty is closely related to cultural context. In the Asian population, particularly East and Southeast Asia, beauty is often associated with a harmonious face, delicate features, smooth and radiant skin, and features that express youthfulness and naturalness.
However, pressure from Western canons has in the past prompted many Asian patients to request surgeries aimed at “Westernizing” features.
Today the trend has evolved toward anexaltation of ethnic identity, with demands increasingly geared toward natural improvement, not transformation.
Anatomical specificities in the Asian population
From a surgical point of view, treating patients of Asian origin requires a deep understanding of anatomical peculiarities:
- Thicker skin with higher density of sebaceous glands
- More delicate bone structure, particularly in the nasal and zygomatic region
- Eyelids monolid or with less pronounced eyelid folds
- Different scarring, with increased risk of hyperpigmentation or keloids
Dr. Roddi tailors each procedure according to these characteristics, choosing techniques and materials compatible with the needs of the Asian patient to minimize risks and maximize results.
Most requested cosmetic procedures in Asian surgery
Asian blepharoplasty (double eyelid creation)
One of the most popular surgeries is blepharoplasty for the double eyelid, also known as Asian blepharoplasty.
Many Asian patients desire a more defined eyelid crease that gives depth to the eyes while maintaining the natural, typical look of their ethnicity.
Dr. Roddi performs the procedure with microsurgical techniques, minimizing the incision and respecting the conformation of the eye.
It is essential to avoid an artificial or overly Western effect, aiming instead for a harmonious balance between aesthetics and functionality.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty in the Asian population differs significantly from the techniques applied to Western patients. The nasal dorsum tends to be less prominent, with a wider tip and thicker skin.
The ideal surgical approach involves:
- Back augmentation with autologous cartilage grafts (septum, rib, or ear)
- Toe definition with support structures
- Preservation of the natural slope and angle of the Asian nose
Dr. Roddi uses structural techniques and resorbable or autologous materials for stable and natural results, minimizing postoperative complications.
Mentoplasty and profile harmonization
Many Asian patients require custom profiloplasty, which includes chin, cheekbone, and jaw operations to achieve a more balanced profile. Dr. Roddi carefully assesses the proportion between the various components of the face, intervening conservatively to maintain the patient’s identity.
Fillers, implants, or surgeries are used only when truly necessary, with special attention to the symmetry and proportionality of the final result.
A human, technical and cultural approach
Operating on Asian patients does not just mean applying different techniques. Above all, it means understanding the aesthetic intent, listening to the patient, and recognizing that behind every request is a cultural identity to be preserved.
Dr. Roberto Roddi, during his international missions and surgical work in Myanmar, Belgium, and Italy, has gained a global perspective on the concept of beauty and the importance of empathy in plastic surgery.
This translates into:
- Personalized preoperative assessments
- Study of individual anatomy with 3D techniques
- Attention to postoperative details to promote optimal aesthetic healing
The importance of E-E-A-T in cosmetic surgery
In the field of aesthetic medicine, authority and experience are crucial. Dr. Roddi fully integrates the principles of E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Reliability) into every aspect of his practice:
- Direct experience with more than 20,000 surgeries
- Academic expertise as a university professor of plastic surgery
- Participation in humanitarian missions in Asian countries
- Transparent and informed communication with the patient
