Understanding the Ethnic Nose Job

An ethnic nose job is different from traditional rhinoplasty. Because different ethnicities inherit specific features, enhancing those special attributes is the secret to a well-done ethnic rhinoplasty procedure.

As one of the top nose surgeons in the nation, Dr. Moran has a firm grasp on the art and science of refining the nasal structure without erasing your culture. She tailors her surgical approach based on your ethnic background and ensures that your new nose fits in with your other features and amplifies your natural beauty.

Our Expertise: A Nose Job that Celebrates Your Culture

Dr. Moran has a thorough knowledge of each ethnic group’s features, and how the nose relates to them. She is particularly experienced in rhinoplasty for the following groups:

African American

African American patients often want to address a low nasal bridge, a weak nasal tip, and wide nostrils. These concerns can be addressed with cartilage grafts and slimming techniques to refine the nasal tip and decrease the width of the nose.

Middle Eastern

For our Middle Eastern patients, we commonly need to reduce the size of the nose so it’s more proportionate to the rest of the features. Depending on your unique needs, we can also slim a wide nose and correct a droopy nasal tip.

Hispanic

A wide bridge and a nasal tip that lacks projection are common among our Hispanic patients.

Asian

Many patients of Asian heritage are interested in improving a low bridge and a wide nasal tip. In these instances, Dr. Moran can graft cartilage to augment the nose and increase nasal tip projection, while also reducing the size of your nostrils and refining the tip.
