Ethnic Rhinoplasty

In Beverly Hills and serving the Los Angeles area

We believe that every patient is unique. Many plastic surgeons have limited experience working with patients of African, Asian, Middle Eastern, or Hispanic descent. This lack of experience with diverse ethnicities can often result in rhinoplasty procedures that produce incongruous results.

Dr. Azizzadeh, however, has the skills and experience necessary to create beautiful, elegant rhinoplasty results for every facial type and every ethnicity.

Creating the right look for you

When you choose cosmetic surgery, it's important to find a surgeon who can create a harmonious, balanced look that is right for you.

Unfortunately, many cosmetic surgeons have little experience working with a broad range of ethnicities. Without the experience, training, and aesthetic sense for the patient's unique qualities, your rhinoplasty results are likely to appear incongruous and inharmonious with your overall appearance.

Ethnicity and physiology

In addition to cosmetic differences among different ethnicities, there are physical differences to take into account as well.

Factors that may differ significantly according to ethnicity include:

• Thickness and fatty content of the skin can vary signficantly by ethnicity
• The angle at which the nose projects from the skull, referred to as the radix or root, varies among different ethnic groups
• The nasal bridge, or top part of the nose, can vary in size, proportion, and angle
• The tip, or end of the nose, can differ in size, shape, and proportion
• The base and nostrils may vary in angle, thickness, and shape
• The nasolabial junction, where the base of the nose meets the upper lip, is typically different among different ethnic groups
• The maxilla, or the upper jaw that connects to the nose, can vary in size, shape, and placement

To get the best possible rhinoplasty results, it is important that you choose a surgeon like Dr. Azizzadeh, who has the experience and the skills necessary to evaluate all of these and other factors in planning and completing your cosmetic work.
