What is an Ethnic Rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is about refining the nose in a way that respects your natural features and cultural identity. It’s not about changing who you are—it’s about subtle adjustments that bring balance to your face while staying true to what makes you unique. Among the Ethnic Rhinoplasty procedures he frequently performs are Asian Rhinoplasty and African American Rhinoplasty.
This specialized surgery often involves techniques like cartilage grafting to enhance the nasal structure. For Asian and African American rhinoplasties, augmentation is typically performed to improve nasal projection and refine tip definition. Dr. Dedhia carefully harvests cartilage from the septum, ear, or rib, skillfully shaping and securing it to specific areas of the nose for optimal results.
For some, this might involve narrowing a wider bridge, lifting a flatter tip, or working with thicker skin. At Raj Dedhia, MD Facial Plastic Surgery, we take a personalized approach to ensure results that look natural and complement your overall appearance. The goal is to enhance, not erase, the features that make you, you.
