SHOULD I HAVE AN ETHNIC RHINOPLASTY?

You may choose to undergo ethnic rhinoplasty to revise certain aspects of the nose that contribute to an unbalanced facial appearance. The structural and aesthetic problems treated include a pronounced hump, a bulbous nasal tip, flared nostrils, or any element that makes your nose appear too large or small for your face or draws too much attention from your other features. Aside from cosmetic refinement, an ethnic rhinoplasty can also address any structural abnormalities that impede normal nasal function.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Sedgh will listen carefully to your concerns to understand your goals. He will also evaluate your facial proportions and examine the internal and external structures of your nose to determine the best surgical plan to achieve what you envision.

Evaluate your medical history and any lifestyle habits that could impact surgery
Perform a set of diagnostic tests to discover any nose function issues
A step-by-step discussion of the procedure

VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS FOR ETHNIC RHINOPLASTY

Dr. Sedgh can also conduct virtual consultations via video conferencing to accommodate patients who are in other cities or too busy to come to the office.

WHAT IS THE ETHNIC RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURE?

Many people from similar backgrounds share the same nose characteristics and seek subtle alterations. Each ethnic group is different and ethnic rhinoplasty involves an array of techniques to resolve the common concerns of each ethnicity. Dr. Sedgh will tailor the procedure to take these special considerations into account. In doing so, he can achieve excellent symmetry and balance for your ethnic facial features—rather than erasing them. The result is far more attractive, enhancing your natural features.

INCISIONS

While there are specific augmentation techniques employed in a custom ethnic rhinoplasty, the incision approaches to be used are similar across all patients and all types of rhinoplasty procedures. Dr. Sedgh may use either the closed (endonasal) or the open (external) approach to perform an ethnic rhinoplasty, depending on the techniques to be used or the extent of the alterations required.

Open Rhinoplasty

For patients who require significant or more complex enhancements, an open approach is appropriate. This approach involves a small incision along the tissue that separates the nostrils and provides optimum access to the underlying nose structure. Due to enhanced visibility, this approach allows Dr. Sedgh to perform the necessary alterations with maximum precision and accuracy.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty is advisable for patients that only need minor adjustments. It produces no external scarring as it uses short and precise incisions hidden inside the nostrils.

Implants or cartilage grafts may also be used to augment the nasal bridge or tip.
