Patients interested in rhinoplasty are often concerned that improving the appearance of their nose can interfere with their ethnic identity or otherwise make them look less like themselves. Noted plastic surgeon Payam Jarrah-Nejad, M.D., F.I.C.S., F.A.C.S. has performed ethnic rhinoplasty in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California on patients of all backgrounds, and he has achieved consistently outstanding results on their behalf.
Ethnic rhinoplasty is similar to other plastic surgeries in that the nose is surgically altered to create a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance. At the same time, care is taken to ensure that the altered nose in no way diminishes the patient’s ethnic characteristics. It’s ideal for people who are proud of their ethnic background while perhaps being somewhat less proud of their most prominent facial feature. Dr. J, as Dr. Jarrah-Nejad is more familiarly known to his patients, has achieved consistently outstanding results for patients from all over Southern California and throughout the world.
Whether a patient is of Asian, African American, Hispanic, or Mediterrerean ancestry, all ethnic rhinoplasty requires a combination of great surgical skill and a strong aesthetic sense. Dr. J is an expert in altering both the internal and external structures of the nose so that patients can feel and look their absolute best while remaining 100 percent true to their origins.
Of course, a nose is simply one facial feature and its appearances works in concert with other facial features. Dr. J sometimes combines rhinoplasty with chin implants in Los Angeles to help ensure that facial proportions are proportioned in an attractive manner than also honors a patient’s entire identity. It’s just one of many methods the doctor uses to ensure that his patients enjoy the finest results possible.
