When it comes to cosmetic surgery, especially a procedure such as rhinoplasty, it is essential to understand that each face is unique, not only because of its anatomical proportions, but also because of their ethnic heritage. La rhinoplasty with an ethnic approach it is a technique that seeks to harmonize the shape of the nose with the rest of the face, while respecting its natural and cultural features, without imposing a generalized “aesthetic mold”.

This type of intervention recognizes that beauty does not have a single form and that the objective is not to standardize the features of the nose, but to enhance the harmony of the face, preserving the distinctive features that make up the identity of each patient.

What characterizes rhinoplasty with an ethnic approach?

The most important difference is in personalized planning. For patients with different bone structures, cartilage, skin thicknesses and proportions (as can happen in patients of African, Asian, Latin American or Middle Eastern origin), ethnic rhinoplasty requires a more precise and adapted surgical technique.

In addition to the technical aspects, the surgeon must have a deep understanding of facial aesthetics on different types of faces, and a refined approach to proposing subtle and balanced changes. In many cases, the work consists of improving the projection, defining the tip, slightly narrowing the nasal wings (alectomy), or smoothing a prominent back, always maintaining consistency with the facial structure.

Preserving identity is part of the result

One of the most common concerns in patients who consult for rhinoplasty is: “Will I still look like me?” , “Will I have one of those noses that all look the same?” , and it's a completely valid concern. The result should feel natural, as if your nose had always been like this, without altering the essence of your expression or blurring your genetic heritage.

This type of approach is ideal for patients who want a subtle but significant change, who seek to improve facial harmony without falling into generic aesthetic patterns.

What type of corrections can be applied to a rhinoplasty of these characteristics?

Depending on the anatomy of the nose and the patient's goals, the procedure may include:

• Correction of the droopy nose tip The poorly defined
• Narrowing of the nasal wings or nasal base (alectomy)
• Correction of the low, wide or humped back
• Increased projection with grafts (when the structure requires additional support)
• Ultrasonic rhinoplasty for greater precision and less trauma

All of these aspects must be evaluated in The valuation query, where your face, your expectations and what is technically possible to achieve will be analyzed, always respecting the naturalness of the result.
