What Does the Ethnic Rhinoplasty Procedure Involve?

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a highly individualized procedure, tailored to the patient's specific needs and ethnic background. The surgery typically involves the following steps:

Consultation: Dr. Ronald Espinoza will conduct a detailed consultation, during which patients have the opportunity to discuss their goals and expectations. Their unique ethnic features and concerns will also be taken into account.
Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort.
Incisions: Depending on the needs of the patient, Dr. Espinoza will perform either open or closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision along the columella (small strip of skin that separates the nostrils), and closed rhinoplasty involves incisions within the nostrils, leaving no visible scars.
Reshaping: Dr. Ronald Espinoza will carefully reshape the nasal structures, improving issues such as a hump on the bridge, wide nostrils, or a drooping tip.
Sculpting: The nasal tissues and cartilage will be sculpted to achieve the desired contour and proportion while preserving the patient's ethnic traits.
Closing incisions: The incisions are closed, and if external incisions were made, the sutures are meticulously placed to minimize scarring.
Recovery: You will be monitored during the immediate post-operative period and given specific instructions to follow during the recovery process.

What is the Recovery Process Like?

Recovery after ethnic rhinoplasty is a crucial phase in achieving your desired results. Here's what you can expect:

Initial recovery: During the initial phase, patients may experience mild swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes, which will gradually dissipate over the first few weeks.
Rest and healing: It's essential that patients rest and allow their bodies to heal during the initial recovery phase. They are usually advised to wear a splint on their noses for support.
Follow-up appointments: Dr. Ronald Espinoza will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that your healing is on track.
Resumption of activities: Most patients are able to get back to their daily routines within a week or two, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks.
Final results: It can take several months for the final results of ethnic rhinoplasty to become fully perceivable as the residual swelling subsides.
