Here's how to tell, especially if it's bad surgery:
Tapering of nose
This is for people who have narrowed their tips... Notice how the tip looks smaller than the middle section, or the same size - highly unnatural.
Ridiculous looking bridge:
Unfortunately for Asian people with nasal implants, their flat faces, especially when viewed from the side, does not match a highly increased nose bridge very well.When you can see that the nose clearly starts higher up (ie at brows level) than it normally should, the person has an implant almost for sure.
Weird shadows
Perhaps the most tell-tale sign of all is the way shadows fall on the nose. Now, an implant, when viewed cross-sectioned, is like a less curved semi-circle.
Therefore, when the implant ends (at the side of the nose), there is a tiny groove before it meets the natural bone of the person.
As such, the skin covering the sides of the nose is not entirely smooth but would have a grooved line along the side edges of the implant.
This causes a very definitive shadow that runs along the length of the nose... It would be bright at the very top where the light hits, then suddenly turn darker, whereas on a natural nose the shadows are gradual (as I shaded for you guys) because the normal nose is rounder.
Triangular nostils and "stiff" alar:
In the case of alar reduction, nostrils are triangular and have a very "pinched" look, whereas a normal nose is almost never this shape and would be roundish.
As I mentioned before, Alar reduction involves cutting off flesh from the sides of the nose (where the nose joins the face) and sewing it up again. While this procedure does ensure the nose is narrower and less bulbous, too much of the alar cut off also sacrifices the natural curvature of the alar, causing it to look very straight and stiff.
It's almost like the nose is tented up.
