What is ethnic rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is nose surgery planned specifically around a patient’s ethnic anatomy, for example Asian, African, Middle Eastern or Hispanic noses. Each group tends to differ in skin thickness, bridge height, tip support and nostril shape.
The principle is to refine proportion and balance without imposing one ethnic ideal on another face.
