What is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized form of nose reshaping surgery designed to enhance the appearance and function of the nose while preserving and celebrating the patient’s unique ethnic features. This procedure is tailored for individuals of non-Caucasian backgrounds, including African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Middle Eastern descent.
Patient Testimonial
Jawline Filler
I visited Dr. Hassanzadeh to enhance my jawline, and she suggested a bit of filler – it was exactly what I needed. Now, two weeks later, I’m absolutely OBSESSED with the results. The change is subtle yet powerful, giving me that perfectly “snatched” jawline I was hoping for.
Dr. Hassanzadeh is also a total sweetheart! She makes you feel welcome and is incredibly knowledgeable about facial aesthetics. While I’m not quite ready for surgery, I’ve seen her surgical work, and I would trust her 1000% with my face when the time comes. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a change, whether surgical or non-surgical!
What are the Benefits of Ethnic Rhinoplasty?
There are several benefits of an ethnic rhinoplasty procedure, including:
- Personalized results: The procedure is tailored to each individual’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring a balanced and harmonious appearance.
- Natural-looking outcomes: Ethnic rhinoplasty aims for subtle changes that refine and enhance rather than drastically alter the nose, resulting in a more natural look.
- Functional improvements: The surgery can correct structural abnormalities, improve breathing issues, and address sleep problems caused by nasal obstructions.
- Preservation of ethnic identity: The procedure maintains nasal characteristics that reflect the patient’s ethnicity, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Improved facial harmony: Ethnic rhinoplasty aims to create better symmetry and balance with other facial features.
The Ethnic Rhinoplasty Procedure
The procedure begins with the administration of general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Hassanzadeh then makes incisions, either using an open or closed rhinoplasty technique.
The nose structure is then reshaped according to the patient’s specific needs and ethnic characteristics. This may involve removing or adding cartilage, often using cartilage grafts from the septum, ear, or rarely, rib. For patients with wide noses, Dr. Hassanzadeh may address nostril size and flaring. After reshaping, the nasal skin and tissue are redraped over the nose. The incisions are then closed, and an external nasal cast is applied to keep the nose in place while healing.
The entire procedure typically takes between 1 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of your surgery.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty Recovery
Recovery typically lasts 7-10 days for the initial phase, with full results taking up to a year to become fully apparent. During the first week, you may experience swelling, bruising, discomfort, and nasal congestion. Dr. Hassanzadeh will prescribe you pain medication to ensure comfort after your surgery. A splint or bandage will be placed on the nose to support and protect your nose. Dr. Hassanzadeh will discuss recovery and provide you with detailed instructions on how to take care of yourself during the recovery period.
Swelling and bruising usually last 2-3 weeks. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work after 7-10 days. However, it’s recommended to avoid vigorous activities, showers, blowing your nose, and wearing glasses for about 2 weeks following the surgery.
Who is a Candidate?
Candidates for ethnic rhinoplasty are typically non-Caucasian individuals who are unhappy with the shape, size, or projection of their nose and wish to enhance their appearance while preserving their ethnic features.
Ideal candidates should be nonsmokers, generally healthy, have realistic expectations about the outcome and have no major medical issues.
