I’m Self-Conscious About My Ethnic Nose. Can Rhinoplasty Help?

Many of our ethnic rhinoplasty patients have long hated their unique noses. Many of these patients have very distinctive, noticeable noses that detract from their other facial features. They may have a droopy tip, a wide base, a lack of projection, or a large hump. If you struggle with the appearance of your nose, come see Dr. Sajjadian. Ethnic rhinoplasty can create a nose that looks completely natural but also manages to complement your other features. If you don’t love your nose, you’ll love what rhinoplasty can achieve.

What Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Many patients hear the term “ethnic rhinoplasty” for the first time when visiting with Dr. Sajjadian. Quite simply, ethnic rhinoplasty is a type of rhinoplasty performed on a patient of non-Caucasian descent. Patients of Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Asian, or African descent typically require an ethnic rhinoplasty. Like traditional rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty changes the shape and structure of the nose, but ethnic rhinoplasty often requires advanced techniques like cartilage grafting, hump removal, etc. for best results.

How Do I Choose an Ethnic Rhinoplasty Surgeon?

If you’re thinking about an ethnic rhinoplasty, choose your surgeon carefully. Non-caucasian noses tend to have a different nasal structure. This doesn’t mean that you can’t achieve great results but, in order to do so, you do need a surgeon who knows what he or she is doing. Dr. Sajjadian is one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in Southern California, and is known around the world for his natural looking ethnic rhinoplasty results. He understands your unique nasal structure and will work with you to create your ideal nose.

Are There Any Non-Surgical Options Available to Me?

Surgical ethnic rhinoplasty is the gold standard in nasal correction providing permanent, lifelong changes to your nose but, if you’re not ready for surgery, other options may be available. Dr. Sajjadian offers non-invasive nasal correction. This procedure uses dermal fillers or fat to change the shape and contours of your nose. The results aren’t permanent but, for some patients, this is an excellent alternative to rhinoplasty. Non-invasive nasal correction requires no downtime, and you can return to work immediately after treatment.
