Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty
What Makes Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty Different?
Every rhinoplasty should aim to craft a nose that fits the face and suits the patient’s natural features. Anything else can look artificial or out of place. But sculpting such results requires an intensive understanding of not only the unique nose structure for patients of Middle Eastern ethnicity but the face as a whole. Every patient’s nose is unique, but some of the common concerns for patients having Middle Eastern nose surgery include:
- Raised dorsal bump or hump
- Drooping nasal tip
- Broad nasal tip
- Thicker nasal skin
- Bulbous nasal tip
- Wide nasal tip
What Is Middle Eastern Cosmetic Nose Surgery Like?
Dr. Dhir’s surgeries are each built from personalized details, so no two are fully alike. However, the outline for Middle Eastern cosmetic nose surgery will be similar to a traditional nose job in several ways. A typical procedure includes:
- Preparing in the days to weeks before surgery (stopping certain medication, obtaining bloodwork, etc.)
- Receiving general anesthesia
- A duration of between 4-6 hours
- Outpatient basis (can return home the same day)
Depending on your procedure plan, Dr. Dhir will make careful adjustments according to the features you want to improve. This can include:
- Shaving bone (however, only a conservative amount will be shaved to avoid a sloping look to the nose)
- Supporting the nasal tip with cartilage grafts
- Reducing large alar cartilages to thin and refine a bulbous appearance to the tip of the nose
