When most people think of rhinoplasty, they associate it with cosmetic surgery to enhance a person’s looks. However, rhinoplasty does have functional benefits ranging from better breathing to injury repair. That means it can help you look and feel great.

With ethnic rhinoplasty, Dr. Ronald Schuster takes additional factors into consideration, including the unique nasal structures in non-Caucasian noses. Dr. Schuster also takes ethnic traits into consideration when planning surgery so you can retain the natural facial characteristics of your heritage, such as a more rounded tip or a higher dorsum.

The Functional Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Aside from helping you reach aesthetic goals, rhinoplasty can also bring a variety of benefits. Typical nasal benefits that a rhinoplasty may achieve include:

  • Improved breathing
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Reduced effects of obstructive sleep apnea
  • Reduced frequency of sinus infections
  • Reduced frequency, duration, and intensity of snoring
  • Restored functionality after injury

For the right candidates, rhinoplasty may have all these function benefits and more. To find out if you can benefit from rhinoplasty, be sure to speak to a well-experienced plastic surgeon such as Dr. Ronald Schuster.

How Ethnic Rhinoplasty Differs From Traditional Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty maintains all the potential functional benefits of traditional rhinoplasty while having a heightened focus on the ethnic characteristics of a nose. This allows you to enjoy functional and cosmetic benefits without losing an aspect of your heritage.

Ethnic rhinoplasty also requires incredible skill and robust experience. To achieve the results you desire, it is important to work with an esteemed plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Schuster.

Preparing for Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Overall, the same surgical methods are used in traditional and ethnic rhinoplasty. However, the technique may differ. Before scheduling the procedure, you’ll meet with Dr. Schuster to discuss whether the surgery will achieve the look you want or take care of any functional issues you may have. The meeting consists of several parts, including:

  • A discussion of your medical history
  • A physical exam
  • A discussion of your expectations
