Why Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty Important?

Are you thinking about rhinoplasty? If you come from a non-Caucasian heritage you may want to consider ethnic rhinoplasty, a subset of traditional rhinoplasty that focuses on improving the function and appearance of ethnic noses. Why is ethnic rhinoplasty important? Find out below and then call to schedule your consultation with Dr. Sajjadian, one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in the area.

How Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty Different than Traditional Rhinoplasty?

Patients with genetic roots from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Spain, and the Middle East are excellent candidates for rhinoplasty, provided they choose the right surgeon. These patients are considered ethnic patients because of their genetic background. Often ethnic noses vary in structure from a Caucasian nose. A skilled ethnic rhinoplasty surgeon knows how to address these unique issues, but not every surgeon performing rhinoplasty does. Ethnic rhinoplasty ensures that these patients get the skilled care they need for stunning, natural looking rhinoplasty results.

Ethnic rhinoplasty often employs advanced surgical techniques to preserve nasal structure, improve function, and address complex issues. Ethnic rhinoplasty surgeons are often more familiar with difficult techniques like cartilage grafting, nasal hump removal, tip correction, etc. Improper surgical technique can result in lasting nasal deformities, the need for future surgeries, and even breathing problems. Choosing a skilled surgeon is essential for the best ethnic rhinoplasty results.
