Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure to enhance the appearance of the nose while preserving and respecting the unique cultural and ethnic characteristics of your face. Dr. Guida addresses your specific nasal concerns while ensuring the results align with your ethnic background. The goal is to elevate your nasal contours and restore facial harmony without erasing the key markers of your identity.
How Your Nose Carries Key
Markers of Your Heritage
Your nose often carries significant markers of your heritage. It plays a crucial role in defining your ethnic identity, as its shape, size, and proportions are influenced by your background. For example, individuals of African, Asian, Caucasian, or Middle Eastern descent may have distinct nasal characteristics that reflect their cultural roots. These characteristics can include the width of the nostrils, the slope of the bridge, or the overall nasal projection.
Preserving these unique nasal features while enhancing your nose’s appearance is a fundamental principle of ethnic rhinoplasty. Dr. Guida understands that your nose is not just a cosmetic element but an essential part of your identity. Through careful surgical techniques and a deep appreciation for cultural background, he creates results that harmonize with your features without erasing your ethnic traits. Instead of following a eurocentric template, he curates a personalized surgical plan based on your unique needs.
In addition to ethnic rhinoplasty for cosmetic enhancement, Dr. Guida also uses cutting edge technology to perform functional rhinoplasty.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty Treats:
- Wide or flared nostrils
- A broad or flat nasal bridge
- A bulbous nasal tip
- Excessive nasal projection
- Crooked or asymmetrical nasal appearance
- Disproportionate nasal size in relation to other facial features

What is ethnic rhinoplasty, and how is it different from traditional rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the nose while preserving and respecting the unique cultural and ethnic characteristics of your face.

Ethnic rhinoplasty is suitable for individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including individuals of African, Asian, Caucasian, or Middle Eastern descent, who wish to address specific aesthetic concerns related to their noses while maintaining their identity.
How long is the recovery period for ethnic rhinoplasty?
The recovery period for ethnic rhinoplasty varies from person to person, but generally, patients can expect swelling and bruising for a few weeks. Most individuals can return to their daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks, although complete healing may take several months.
Are the results of ethnic rhinoplasty permanent?
Yes, the results of ethnic rhinoplasty are typically permanent. However, the final outcome may take some time to stabilize as swelling subsides and tissues settle into their new shape. Please follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure the best and longest-lasting results.
