ETHNIC RHINOPLASTY

Ethnic Rhinoplasty is carried out for refining appearance of patient’s nose of different ethnic heritages such as Asian, African American, Hispanic and Middle-Eastern.

This gives more definition to your nose and reduces its size so that it harmonizes with other facial features of the patient and maintains and respects the ethnic heritage of the patient at the same time.

For ethnic patients who intend to get a whiter nose using ethnic rhinoplasty it is necessary to address the fact that a white nose might not be in harmony with the rest of ethnic facial features of the patient.

Going for an expert rhinoplasty surgeon is necessary while opting for ethnic rhinoplasty. You must keep in mind that all cosmetic surgeons are not well versed in the techniques needed for obtaining the best results for patients who want to get a natural look

Different ethnicities require different ethnic rhinoplasty techniques. Noses in African American and Asian patients require augmenting the nasal bridge and narrowing of nostril base via alar base resection. Here wedge shaped piece of tissue is removed where the nostril walls meet the cheeks therefore the nose doesn't appear as wide from the front.

Ethnic rhinoplasty surgery for patients with a non Caucasian nose can be testing. In case of a nonwhite patient it is very much necessary to understand the goals of patients and their desires.

Even though different ethnic groups have certain characteristics every individual has their own features which makes their surgical requirements distinctive and the only way of knowing what can be achieved and what ethnic rhinoplasty procedure needs to be undertaken  can be undertaken by consultation with a qualified surgeon.
