What is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that focuses on reshaping the nose to complement the ethnic features of the individual. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which may focus on universal aesthetic ideals, ethnic rhinoplasty aims to enhance the nose while respecting the patient's heritage and natural characteristics. This includes:

• Refining the nose bridge for better definition, especially for individuals with a lower nasal bridge.
• Reshaping the nasal tip to achieve a more harmonious look.
• Adjusting the nostrils and nasal base to enhance symmetry.
• Augmenting or reducing the size of the nose to match the face’s proportions.

At VVLY Plastic Surgery, we pride ourselves on creating results that look natural and seamless with your other facial features.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Techniques

At VVLY Plastic Surgery, we employ various techniques in ethnic rhinoplasty to address the distinct needs of our patients:

• Nasal Bridge Augmentation: For patients with a flat or low nasal bridge, we use implants, cartilage grafts, or dorsal hump reduction to create a more defined bridge.
• Tip Plasty: Refining the nasal tip can significantly enhance the overall look of the nose. Techniques like cartilage reshaping or grafting are used to create a refined and proportionate tip.
• Alar Base Reduction: For those with wide nostrils or an expansive nasal base, alar reduction can help to narrow the nostrils for a more streamlined appearance.
• Closed or Open Rhinoplasty: Depending on the complexity of your procedure, we will choose either a closed rhinoplasty (internal incisions) or open rhinoplasty (external incisions) to achieve the desired results while minimizing scarring.
• Non-Surgical Ethnic Rhinoplasty: If you prefer a non-invasive option, we offer nose fillers to temporarily enhance the bridge or tip without the need for surgery.
