Elevate nasal shape while preserving your identity
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized nose reshaping surgery done to refine the nose while preserving features that reflect a patient’s cultural background. It addresses concerns such as a flat bridge, wide base, or asymmetry without erasing the key markers of your unique identity or cultural background. Dr. Nadimi always approaches facial balance with respect for the anatomical differences among her patients. She aims to achieve harmonious results that conform to your identity rather than following cookie-cutter Eurocentric aesthetic ideals.
Ethnic rhinoplasty treats:
- A wide or low nasal bridge
- A bulbous or under defined nasal tip
- Flared or wide nostrils
- Nasal asymmetry or deviation
- Lack of nasal projection
- Disproportion between the nose and other facial features
Types of ethnic rhinoplasty
Middle Eastern rhinoplasty
Middle Eastern rhinoplasty often addresses a prominent dorsal hump, drooping nasal tip, or asymmetry, while carefully preserving strong, defining facial features. Dr. Nadimi balances the nose with the rest of the face, using meticulous techniques to create refinement without erasing essential markers of the individual’s cultural identity.
Latino and Hispanic rhinoplasty
Latino and Hispanic rhinoplasty may involve reshaping a wide nasal base, correcting a rounded tip, or improving projection. These adjustments are made with respect for the wide variation in nasal anatomy among individuals of Latin descent. Dr. Nadimi tailors her approach to ensure natural, personalized results that complement each patient’s background.
African American rhinoplasty
African American rhinoplasty often focuses on refining a wide nasal bridge, reducing nostril flare, and providing subtle definition to the nasal tip while maintaining the unique contours that define African heritage. Dr. Nadimi uses advanced techniques to create a natural, balanced appearance without compromising ethnic identity or nasal function.
Asian rhinoplasty
Asian rhinoplasty typically involves increasing nasal projection, refining the tip, and subtly narrowing the nostrils to achieve a more refined appearance. Because Asian nasal anatomy often includes a lower bridge and softer cartilage, Dr. Nadimi uses specialized grafting techniques to achieve durable and aesthetically pleasing results.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty FAQs
Can I still look like myself after ethnic rhinoplasty?
Yes, that is one of the primary goals of ethnic rhinoplasty. Dr. Nadimi’s approach emphasizes subtle enhancement rather than dramatic changes. Her goal is for you to look like a refreshed version of yourself, not like someone else. She carefully tailors each procedure to ensure that your results align with your heritage while bringing your facial features into better balance.
Is ethnic rhinoplasty only cosmetic, or can it fix breathing problems too?
Ethnic rhinoplasty can absolutely address functional concerns. Many patients seek the procedure to correct structural issues that interfere with breathing, such as a deviated septum, collapsed nasal valves, or overly narrow internal passages. Dr. Nadimi is trained in cosmetic and functional nasal surgery and can improve airflow while enhancing your appearance.
How do you make sure the results still reflect my heritage?
Dr. Nadimi believes deeply in honoring your identity. She takes time to study your facial anatomy, listen to your aesthetic goals, and understand your personal and cultural preferences. Rather than using cookie-cutter standards, she customizes the surgical plan to ensure your new nose looks natural and harmonious with the rest of your face. Her meticulous and thoughtful approach is what allows her to achieve subtle yet powerful results that still feel like “you.”
