What Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a nasal surgery designed to enhance the nose’s shape, structure, and function while maintaining each patient’s features. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty prioritizes harmony and proportion while preserving cultural identity. Dr. Daraei carefully customizes each procedure to address the specific characteristics of various ethnic groups. Whether the goal is to refine the nasal bridge, adjust the tip, or improve breathing function, ethnic rhinoplasty ensures results that complement your facial structure and heritage.

Candidates for Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Candidates for ethnic rhinoplasty include individuals who want to enhance the appearance or function of their nose while maintaining their features. Common concerns that may lead a patient to seek ethnic rhinoplasty include a broad nasal bridge, a bulbous or under-projected tip, wide nostrils, or difficulty breathing due to structural concerns. Ideal candidates should have good overall health, realistic expectations, and be at least 16 years old, as nasal development should be complete before surgery. During a consultation with Dr. Daraei, patients will discuss their goals, and a customized surgical plan will be created to achieve a natural outcome.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Procedure

Ethnic rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia for patient comfort and precision. Depending on the specific concerns and goals, Dr. Daraei may use an open or closed approach to access the nasal structures. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the tissue between the nostrils, allowing for more extensive reshaping and structural modifications. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions within the nostrils, resulting in no visible scarring and a slightly shorter recovery time. Cartilage grafting may be used to achieve your desired shape while maintaining structural support. This can involve harvesting cartilage from the septum, ear, or rib to refine the nasal tip, reinforce the bridge, or adjust the nostril shape. Ethnic rhinoplasty typically takes two to four hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the procedure.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Recovery

Recovery from ethnic rhinoplasty follows a similar timeline to traditional rhinoplasty, with some considerations based on individual healing patterns and skin thickness. Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and nasal congestion in the first few weeks, with initial swelling subsiding after one to two months. Most patients can return to daily activities within 10 to 14 days, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least four to six weeks. Dr. Daraei provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. Full results will become visible as swelling resolves, typically within one year.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Results

Ethnic rhinoplasty offers natural-looking improvements in nasal shape and function. Whether the goal is a more defined nasal bridge, improved tip projection, or enhanced symmetry, the results of ethnic rhinoplasty are tailored to suit each patient’s features while achieving aesthetic and functional enhancement.

“I love the results”

Dr. Daraei was initially recommended to me by a friend. I was particularly picky about who I wanted to do my rhinoplasty because I have ethnic features and I've also heard of people needing more expensive repeat procedures to fix their first rhinoplasty.
He has made the experience very smooth by being thorough, reassuring, and patient. I am about a year post op and I love the results, can't recommend him enough!

“Dr. Daraei is the best doctor”

If you're interested in rhinoplasty, Dr. Daraei is the best doctor to go to! I came to him with a deviated nose and severe breathing issues.
Now, only a month out of surgery, my breathing is amazing and my nose looks beautiful! I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Daraei and his work!!

“I never felt rushed”

During the consultation all my questions were answered and Dr.
Daraei suggested the tissue removal from my eyelids. He mentioned the slightly swollen look that I thought was a sinus condition. When he showed me how much of my eyelid was hidden, l was amazed. He then took the time to explain the procedures I might want and answered every question I had. At no time did he make me feel pressured or rushed or that he had somewhere else to go.

“Would do it Again!”

Dr. Paul Daraei performed blepharoplasty on both my eyes. He removed the very pronounced bags from under my eyes and removed tissue from my upper eyelids that made it look like I did not have eyebags, when my eyes were open. Let me say this is the best thing I have done for my appearance and would do it again!

“Absolutely no Judgment”

This was my first foray into the world of plastic surgery. While I try to keep myself in shape, the condition around my eyes made me look old and tired. Of course, I was nervous when I met with Dr. Daraei and his staff for the consultation. Everyone was very nice and there was absolutely no judgment projected toward me by any of the staff.
In fact, the entire staff and Dr. Daraei seemed genuinely enthusiastic about helping me feel better about my appearance.
