What does ethnic rhinoplasty achieve?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is when Dr. Bryant refines the shape and size of the nose without detracting from or erasing their ethnic identity. Different ethnicities often share special nasal characteristics, including the width of the bridge of the nose, nostril shape and size, nasal projection, nasal tip shape, and others. These unique qualities are a part of the beauty and heritage of your facial features. Dr. Bryant achieves nuanced, beautiful results without compromising the integrity of the characteristics that speak to your heritage, be it Indian, Latino, Middle Eastern, African-American, or others.
Rhinoplasty Procedure at Refine Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics
What happens during the ethnic rhinoplasty surgical procedure?
The ethnic rhinoplasty surgical procedure is similar to that of the traditional rhinoplasty, using the techniques of open or closed rhinoplasty.
Open Rhinoplasty
The incision is made at the base of the nostrils, outside of the nose. Using this technique, Dr. Bryant can lift the upper flap of your nose in order to make structural changes to the nasal cartilage and bones. This technique is required for more significant nasal changes and enhancements.
Closed Rhinoplasty
The incisions are made within the nostrils, resulting in no visible scarring of any kind.This technique is ideal for more subtle nasal chances.
Wherever the location of the incisions, Dr. Bryant is extremely precise, ensuring there is no scarring at all, or that scars visible on the outside of the nose are nearly imperceptible.
Recovery after ethnic rhinoplasty
Typically patients may return to work and normal daily activities in 1-2 weeks. Patients should avoid strenuous activity for 2 weeks; no contact sports for 6-8 weeks.
Although not expected, you may experience bruising underneath you eyes which will slow resolve during your post-operative recovery period.
Sleep with your head elevated for two weeks following the procedure.
Your nose will continue to heal and settle over the following year or more.
Dr. Bryant will have follow-up appointments during the first several weeks to ensure your incisions are healing well and the healing process is going to plan.
