What is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized branch of nose surgery that tailors the procedure to each patient’s cultural, anatomical, and aesthetic background. Instead of applying a one-size-fits-all approach, ethnic rhinoplasty blends artistry with technical precision to enhance facial harmony while preserving the individual's unique characteristics and heritage.

Types of Ethnic Rhinoplasty

African American Rhinoplasty

Focuses on refining the nose while respecting the broader, flatter nasal bridge and thicker nasal skin. The goal is maintaining cultural identity and creating a balanced, naturally beautiful result.

Asian Rhinoplasty

Addresses a typically lower nasal bridge and wider tip, reshaping the nose to complement distinct facial features without losing the essence of Asian identity.

Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty

Often focuses on reducing a prominent dorsal hump and refining tip projection. This approach helps soften the nose’s silhouette while still preserving its unique profile.

Latinx Rhinoplasty

May involve narrowing a broader nasal bridge and refining tip definition. The objective is to enhance balance across the face, promoting a more harmonious but authentically Latin look.

Other Ethnicities

Every ethnicity has characteristic nasal features; Dr. Rahban customizes his technique to honor each individual’s cultural identity, ensuring a respectful, sophisticated transformation.

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Consultation

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation. Dr. Rahban will examine your nasal structure, discuss your goals, and explain how an ethnic rhinoplasty approach can address your unique concerns. You’ll have the opportunity to view before-and-after photos and explore all your questions to ensure you feel confident moving forward.

Procedure

On the day of surgery, you’ll be placed under anesthesia for comfort. Dr. Rahban employs specialized techniques suited to each patient’s ethnicity and nasal anatomy. He meticulously reshapes cartilage, refines nasal contours, and may use grafts or implants if needed to support and balance the structure. Every effort is made to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery & Results

Most patients can anticipate mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial healing phase. You’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions to promote proper healing and reduce complications. Swelling may persist for several months, but as it subsides, you’ll see the refined, natural, and culturally respectful results take shape.

Patients always want to know what they are going to look like. I tell them I work backward. I won’t tell you exactly what you are going to look like. I tell you that I am going to avoid these five things. If I avoid these five things, I am certain that you will get a beautiful, natural result.

What Our Patients Say: Leanne C.

"Dr. Rahban is more than an amazing surgeon, he's an artist! Everything from the service of his lovely and truly caring staff to the education packed initial visits, I knew he was the right doctor for me.

I first had a consult back in 2008 for rhinoplasty, and even though it took 3 years for me to move forward with surgery, Dr. Rahban and his staff never pushed me or made me feel uncomfortable for taking such a long time with the decision.

Now, 3 years later, my finances and courage in place I moved ahead with the procedure. It has turned out to be the best decision of my career.

My long-time bf says, 'He's got a hot new gf!' Both he and I are truly elated with the results because Dr. Rahban made a nose for my face not just a 'pretty nose'. That turned out to be the most important aspect of this process, because my nose looks real... and it's fabulous! I'm a total Betty, and I don't mind saying so myself."
