What facial surgeries/procedures can I get to look less Hispanic? (Photos)

Question

Hi doctors, I'm 21 from Texas & I always get asked if I'm Mexican, which would be fine if I was..but my family's from Romania . I was wondering what I can do to my face to make myself look less Hispanic. I've been considering rhinoplasty for awhile since my nose droops down when I smile and it's pretty wide from the front.. chin lipo as well considering the fat under my chin is hereditary. Thank you.

You have very attractive features.  To obtain a more European model-like face, I would perform a rhinoplasty to tilt and narrow the nose, chin augmentation to balance profile, remove fat from lower cheek (chipmunk cheek operation), and add fat to upper cheek to give a more top heavy, sexy shaped face.  I may also add a tiny bit of volume to the center of the upper lip and the butts of the lower lip to give the lip a sexier curl.

Rhinoplasty for a more attractive and feminine look? A rhinoplasty to narrow your nasal bones and slightly elevated your tip well refining your tip etc. will give you a more attractive  and feminine nose. Being dark skin with dark eyes and living in Texas will always make people think that you could possibly be Hispanic so that may not change even with the better  looking nose.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty.  Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose.  Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement.  You may also benefit from chin liposuction.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with.  With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result.  I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Thank you for your question. You should consider facial plastic surgery for your own reasons, and thus address any features that you do not like or would like to change. Please consult with experienced board certified facial plastic surgeons. Our office offers imaging technology which allows patients and surgeons to work together to understand and visualize how certain procedures would affect patients' aesthetic. Best wishes,

It is important to embrace your Heritage, and not try to change it. From the limited photographs, there are some refinements in the nose the can accomplish making the nose narrower and the tip more refined.
