Ethnic Rhinoplasty
By admin | August 24, 2010
The nose – a distinctive facial feature that many people are unhappy with when they look in the mirror. Does your nose appear too long? Are your nostrils too wide? Is the bridge of your nose crooked? There is no one type of person who embodies the ideal candidate for rhinoplasty. That said, those with an ethnic background continue to undergo rhinoplasty more and more every year, as it is has become more acceptable among all cultures. Plastic surgery reality television shows have helped to make this more acceptable, as the public can watch individuals like them receive such procedures as rhinoplasty for a new look.
According to a past 2004 BNET.com report: “Many experts say that plastic surgery is no longer a taboo topic among black families and friends. In the past, many African-Americans didn’t want to go into the operating room for fear of coming out with features that were ‘too White’ or ‘too European.’” Now, six years later, it is even more common for a black, Hispanic, or Asian patient to receive rhinoplasty. There are no limitations as to who should undergo plastic surgery anymore. It’s all a matter of personal preference.
Dr. Robert D. Wilcox, a Plano, Dallas, and Frisco, Texas rhinoplasty specialist, has a diverse clientele, treating those who simply want to enhance their nasal appearance. He understands that ethnic backgrounds have unique features, including nasal bone and body structures. Therefore, his ultimate goal is to bring good harmony to a person’s face without erasing natural ethnic features and altering their identity. Not every ethnic person who wants to undergo rhinoplasty desires a “Westernized” appearance; it is more about looking like a better version of themselves. Rhinoplasty can be used to: make a nose larger or smaller, narrow the nostrils, change the angle between the nose and the upper lip, and change the shape of the bridge or tip of the nose. (It can also be performed to improve breathing difficulties and to correct birth deformities.)
The best way to determine if rhinoplasty is right for you is to make an appointment with a qualified plastic surgeon. During this time, you can view before and after photos, ask questions, and learn about the doctor’s training, education, and credentials.
Improving the appearance of the nose is just one way to help ensure that your first impression is a lasting one.
