How Do I Find the Best Ethnic Rhinoplasty Surgeon?

Question

I have done a few research and found that many of the Rhinoplasty surgeons have done at least one or two ethnic rhinoplasty but didn't find anyone doing exclusive ethnic rhinoplasty. I looked their before and after pictures but none of them tickled me. How do I find the best ethnic rhinoplasty surgeon (Afro-indian nose)?

Rod J. Rohrich, MD · Answer

To optimally find the best ethnic rhinoplasty surgeon is to go to the website of The Rhinoplasty Society (rhinoplastysociety.org) and look for experts in your area. There are very few true experts in ethnic rhinoplasty in the United States so find one that has the 3Es: experience, expertise and exceptional results. The key is to find someone that can demonstrate a natural result and maintain your ethnicity and beautiful facial features so your nose matches your face.

There are many surgeons, especially in California, who do ethnic rhinoplasty. We, and others, have done this for 35 years. Look at various websites and talk to the surgeons real patients! Make sure you like their work, since that is what you will be getting. Look for natural noses!

You will probably not find anyone who does ethnic rhinoplasties because it is still the minority of patients that I do. However, the principles are the same-reduce the bulbous, round, full tip, narrow the nose, especially at its base, and build up the bridge. I am offering a temporary price reduction because of the economy. Watch my video.

You will not find any surgeons who do only ethnic rhinoplasties. However, there are many of us on the West Coast who do a lot of this work because of our patient population. Review the results of experienced surgeons, ask about their practice, and have them show you reults in patients with your skin color and similar nasal characteristics.

Hi,

	Yes Ethnic Rhinoplasty surgeons are hard to find. Ethnic Rhinoplasty is a specialty in itself. Search the websites and make sure you like what you see then make an appointment with the surgeon. Ask to speak to several of his/her ethnic patients. Also be sure to get computer imaging. Below is a link to my ethnic website. Good Luck.

	Best,

	Dr.S.
