Is Persian Rhinoplasty a Type of Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Are you thinking about rhinoplasty? Many of our patients come to their consultation feeling a little confused about all of the rhinoplasty terminology they’ve heard or read. Traditional rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, Hispanic rhinoplasty, and Middle Eastern rhinoplasty are just a few of the many types of rhinoplasty available. 

The good news is, these procedures are all rather similar. Rhinoplasty is a type of surgery to alter and improve the appearance and function of the nose. The other types of rhinoplasty are subsets of traditional rhinoplasty, focusing on patients with unique genetic features.

Today, let’s take a deeper look at one type of ethnic rhinoplasty: Persian rhinoplasty. For personalized advice, call and schedule your consultation with one of the area’s best rhinoplasty surgeons, Dr. Ali Sajjadian.

What Is Persian Rhinoplasty?

Persian rhinoplasty, also known as Iranian rhinoplasty, is a type of rhinoplasty performed on patients with a genetic heritage originating around Iran. If you’re of Persian descent and want to change the appearance of your nose, choose a surgeon with experience performing Persian rhinoplasty. Persian noses often have unique characteristics that can make rhinoplasty more complex for a surgeon without the proper experience.

Dr Sajjadian has written articles and book chapters on this area of rhinoplasty and has given many lectures on the topic. Utilizing his experience, he has devised a classification system and algorithm for treating Persian and middle eastern noses.

What Features Are Common in Persian Noses?

Persian noses tend to have a few common features. Do you have any of these common Persian nasal features?

  • Undefined nasal tip
  • Nasal hump
  • Large nose size
  • Thick or variable skin
  • Nasal Deviation and asymmetry
