Advanced Artistry in Facial Aesthetics
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a term used to describe the treatment of the non-Caucasian nose. The goal of the surgery is to improve your concerns about the size and shape of your nose while preserving your ethnic features. Ethnic rhinoplasty is often combined with function nasal breathing surgery. Ethnic rhinoplasty involves additional challenges because of your underlying anatomy. Generally, non-Caucasian noses have thicker skin and weaker cartilage compared to Caucasian patients. Ethnic rhinoplasty encompasses patients of Asian, South Asian, Indian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, and African American backgrounds.
Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job”, is a procedure that alters the shape and structure of the nose. In the past, rhinoplasty was performed in a “cookie-cutter” fashion irrespective of a patient’s ethnicity. As trends have changed and surgery has evolved, more men and women are seeking a natural, refined version of themselves. For this reason, ethnic patients have increasingly turned to ehtnic rhinoplasty in Boston. Dr. Sanan, a Stanford University trained and highly respect double board-certified plastic surgeon, delivers perhaps the best ethnic rhinoplasty Boston has to offer.

The nose and chin are closely intertwined when assessing facial harmony. A chin implant can be performed at the same time as your ethnic rhinoplasty. Increasing chin projection, in patient who have a small or recessed chin, makes the nose appear less prominent.
