What Is The End Goal Of Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

What’s the first thing you notice about another person’s face? Or even your own? For most men and women, the nose is one of the most prominent and memorable facial features, and can have a profound impact on a person’s overall appearance. This makes it easy to see why people who are unhappy with the size or shape of their nose may feel wholly unattractive. However, with even the subtlest changes to the nose, a person’s entire look can be enhanced. Award-winning board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Kevin Sadati, has performed thousands of successful rhinoplasty procedures to help men and women achieve their ideal results and finally love how they look.

One particular form of nasal surgery that Dr. Sadati specializes in is ethnic rhinoplasty, which uses complex techniques and methods to address the specific features of patients with certain ethnic backgrounds. Discover more about ethnic rhinoplasty here, including how it differs from traditional rhinoplasty and why it plays such an important role in the successful outcome of many patients’ surgeries.

What is ethnic rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized form of nose surgery that requires technical skill, precision, and knowledge from the surgeon in order to address unique nasal characteristics of patients from certain backgrounds. Generally speaking, ethnic rhinoplasty serves the same purpose as traditional rhinoplasty - which is to enhance the appearance and function of the nose - but ethnic rhinoplasty takes into account the patient’s heritage, distinct anatomical and cosmetic features, and other factors. For example, African-American noses are often characterized by thicker tissue and a broad, flat tip, making it necessary to use a different surgical approach than may be required in other rhinoplasty procedures.

Who needs ethnic rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty can be advantageous for nearly any patient with distinct features who is interested in improving the look or function of their nose without sacrificing their ethnic heritage. Commonly, ethnic rhinoplasty is performed on patients of the following backgrounds:

• African-American
• Middle Eastern
• Asian
• Greek

During your ethnic rhinoplasty consultation in Newport Beach, CA, Dr. Sadati will carefully examine your features, discuss your personal concerns and goals, and help determine how nasal surgery can help you.

What does ethnic rhinoplasty do?

Dr. Sadati uses exceptional skill and an artistic eye during ethnic rhinoplasty in order to achieve results that enhance the patient’s natural beauty, maintain their unique look, and provide both cosmetic and functional improvements.
