Understanding Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Nose surgery or rhinoplasty is a procedure that includes reshaping or reconstructing your nasal cartilage and bone to improve your breathing or enhance the aesthetic appearance of your nose. 

When getting a rhinoplasty, surgeons do their best to produce your ideal or desired look with natural-looking results. Historically, the ideal proportions of a nose were based on Caucasian features which are typically narrow and thin. If the same standards are applied to non-Caucasian people, the results may look unnatural or unattractive.
