Ethnic Rhinoplasty
The Ethnic rhinoplasty carries its own
set of unique problems which require a considerably
different approach as compared to a non-Ethnic
rhinoplasty. These noses are the most complex
structures that do not respond to common
techniques used in western rhinoplasty.
Mixture of thick skin with increased sebaceous
tissues as well as wide nasal base, extremely
high or low dorsum and flared nostrils are
some of the findings in ethnic noses that
require novel techniques and experienced
surgeon to achieve a good result. Most of
these patients seek a cosmetic improvement
that still respects and preserves their
ethnicity.

Some ethnicities have nasal characteristics
that are unique to their race. The differences
in the way certain Ethnic characteristics
of the nose such as African
Amercian, Hispanic,
Middle Eastern,
or Asian determines
the unique method and techniques used by
Dr. Tavoussi in OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique.
Because people of different ethnicities
often have noses with distinct characteristics,
Ethnic Rhinoplasty needs a highly individualized
approach.
What Ethnic Rhinoplasty Involves?
Like other forms of rhinoplasty, Ethnic
Rhinoplasty is successfully accomplished
by removing or reshaping the cartilage and
bone beneath the skin. In some cases, cartilage
grafts are added to help remodel the structure
of the nose and enhance its overall appearance.
The changes may be dramatic, depending on
the needs and desires of each patient.
Common techniques used in Ethnic Rhinoplasty
include augmentation (building up) of the
nasal bridge, lengthening and refining the
tip of the nose, and narrowing the base
of the nostrils. These techniques can be
used to improve the appearance of African-American,
Hispanic, Middle Eastern, and Asian noses,
while respecting and maintaining the patient’s
Ethnic heritage.
People of Ethnic backgrounds want a attractive
looking nose without weakening their cultural
background and heritage. It is typical for
people of all races to want a change of
appearance in their nose. Everyone regardless
of faith or nationality wants a symmetrical,
pleasing looking nose that fits their face
and skin type.
Some of the common problems we have dealt
with while improving the nasal appearance
of many people Ethnic or not are; a wide
or flat bridge on the nose, a hump or ridge
on the nose, a drooping tip of the nose
and a more refined symmetrical womanly look
for females.
Like any other nose job or rhinoplasty
procedure, the goal is:
"to re-shape the nose by altering
the cartilage and bone of the nose, while
taking care to not cause any undo scarring
or give an operated look to the nose."
Dr.Tavoussi has invented numerous technique
for refining ethic noses. His ART
™ rhinoplasty is a novel
and unique technique for large, wide nose
with a bulbous tip. Dr. tavoussi recently
presented this technique at the prestigious
Rhinoplasty Society to the international
group of expert rhinoplastic surgeons from
around the globe. This technique allows
reduction of the wide nose without detectible
scars.
The results of an Ethnic rhinoplasty surgical
procedure can be as good as any other
primary rhinoplasty procedure. Every nose
and procedure is slightly different therefore
each operation and result will be unique.
