What’s Driving the Increased Interest in Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

February 12, 2015 by Dr. Schoenfeld

What’s Driving the Increased Interest in Ethnic Rhinoplasty?With its roots in ancient Egypt, rhinoplasty surgery remains one of the most popular procedures as well as one of the procedures that has changed the most over time. Today’s rhinoplasty techniques are not just refined, they are highly customized for each individual patient. Ethnic rhinoplasty focuses on the subtle differences between noses of various ethnicities. These highly specialized nasal surgery techniques are designed to provide a patient with optimal results while preserving their ethnic characteristics. In facial plastic surgery clinics nationwide, ethnic rhinoplasty is on the rise. What’s driving this increased interest in ethnic rhinoplasty?

Why Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty Needed?

When rhinoplasty first rose to popularity in the United States, most facial plastic surgeons refined their techniques based on the noses they saw the most often, those of Caucasian women. All noses are different, but certain characteristics are common among this ethnic nasal structure. Today, a more diverse population in the U.S. has caused surgeons to expand and broaden their techniques to consider the ethnic characteristics of a range of noses. As more African American or Middle Eastern men and women seek rhinoplasty, facial plastic surgeons are able to refine their approach.

So why is it necessary to approach each ethnic nose differently? First and foremost, the skin, bone, and tissue of an ethnic nasal structure all vary. From an aesthetic standpoint, making alterations to an Asian nose to make it appear more “Middle Eastern” would appear unnatural. The ethnic characteristics of the patient’s nose must be maintained to allow the final results to appear as natural as possible. While there is still a wide range of changes that can be safely made, a skilled facial plastic surgeon will know which features are best left intact to allow your most natural look.

What Drives the Increased Interest in Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

The American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (AAFRPS) recently reported a 10 percent increase in rhinoplasty requests among African American, Asian, and Hispanic or Latino patients. The demand for rhinoplasty of all kinds seems to be rising, so ethnic rhinoplasty surgeries are moving along with this trend. A more diverse population in the United States also contributes to a larger pool of patient ethnicities and nasal characteristics.

Rhinoplasty has always been a popular form of facial plastic surgery, growing even more popular in recent years. As this procedure becomes more widely accepted, many patients are choosing it to achieve their own aesthetic goals. Social media is also driving this uptick in rhinoplasty demand, as more men and women are facing their appearance in selfie photos, video chats, Vine and Instagram postings, and more. These trends are not limited to one particular ethnicity or type of nasal structure, so it’s essential for today’s facial plastic surgeons to be well-versed in all techniques, methods, and approaches to change the appearance of the nose.

  • I met SEVERAL renowned plastic surgeons across multiples states before choosing the right one to perform my surgeries. After the first few minutes with Dr. Schoenfeld, it became very apparent to me that he was the person I'd entrust with my operations. He is the consummate approach, level of expertise, and experience provided me a tremendous amount of comfort, I knew that my expectations would surely be met. As it turns out, I not only made the right choice, but Dr. Schoenfeld was able to surpass my expectations, everything turned as he said it would and even better than I had hoped, Dr.…

  • I went to Dr. Schoendfeld to have a Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty and I couldn't be happier. He called to check up on me multiple times after my surgery to make sure I was doing good and I love the appearance of my new nose. He was able to make it fit my face and make it look as natural as possible while still fixing everything I wanted to be corrected, I am also able to sleep so much better at night since I can breathe out of my nose with ease.

  • Dr Schoenfeld is a fantastic doctor. He is respectful and makes an effort to get to know his patients. He is experienced and quite good at what he does. I had seen him for several years for Botox and fillers and was always happy with the results—very natural and never overdone. I had some jowls and neck rings developing, and these were beyond anything that injectables or good skin care could fix. I knew I could trust Dr. Schoenfeld to fix these problems and to deliver an aesthetically pleasing and natural looking result.

    I am a busy person with a career and many other obligations,…
