What Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can change the shape of the nose by correcting a hump, straightening or narrowing the nose, changing the angle between the nose and mouth, or altering the nasal tip. Cosmetic rhinoplasty is a commonly performed procedure for the Asian population in and around Lake Oswego and Portland, OR. While each person’s reasons for having surgery are unique, our team, led by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Mark A. Petroff, recognizes that cultural dissatisfaction is almost never a factor. Rather, the overall goal at Petroff Center Plastic Surgery & Medi-Spa is to help the patient look and feel his or her best by changing the nasal shape to achieve a more attractive or younger look, balance the facial features, and boost self-confidence. Reach out today to discover how ethnic rhinoplasty can help highlight your nose's natural beauty.
Am I A Candidate for Ethnic Nose Surgery?
If you're thinking about enhancing your nose but want to preserve your unique ethnic features, ethnic rhinoplasty might be the right choice for you. This specialized procedure focuses on making aesthetic or functional changes while respecting your cultural identity and facial harmony. You're an ideal candidate for ethnic nose surgery if you:
- Have specific changes in mind, like refining the bridge, tip, or nostrils
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
- Don't smoke or are willing to pause for better healing
How Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty Performed?
Since ethnic rhinoplasty involves special consideration along with performing an already complex surgery (rhinoplasty), extra care is taken to provide the desired aesthetic outcomes with natural, realistic results. The nasal structures vary per person, so specialized techniques will be used for different goals. However, the overall procedure will be similar to a traditional rhinoplasty in that our surgeons will carefully reshape the cartilage, skin, and tissues surrounding the nose.
What Are the Benefits of Ethnic Rhinoplasty?
Considering ethnic rhinoplasty can offer many advantages that enhance your appearance while respecting your cultural heritage. By tailoring the procedure to your specific goals, you can achieve natural-looking results that harmonize with your facial features. The benefits of ethnic rhinoplasty include:
- Preserving your cultural identity while enhancing your nose
- Improving facial harmony and balance
- Boosting self-confidence through aesthetic improvements
- Customizing the procedure to your individual needs and goals
- Addressing functional issues like breathing difficulties
- Providing natural-looking results that complement your features
Ethnic Rhinoplasty Reviews
Dr. Petroff is an extremely good facial plastic surgeon. He performed a revision rhinoplasty and the experience I had here was incredible. The staff makes you feel comfortable and important. Dr. Petroff performed this surgery under local anesthesia (my first rhinoplasty used general anesthesia) and the recovery period was way quicker and easier to manage. He did a great job and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get a rhinoplasty done.
I had a rhinoplasty done in Feb 2013 at the Petroff center. Dr. Petroff is a fantastic cosmetic surgeon. I could not believe the results. He did exactly what I wanted and I'd go back again when the need arises. His staff are all courteous and extremely helpful. And the facilities are spotless. Surgery is never... fun, but the Petroff center went out of their way to make it as painless as possible. Thank you Dr. Petroff and staff for a job, very, well done :o)
I cannot say enough about the Petroff center and their entire staff! After a botched rhinoplasty, Petroff was able to transform my nose into a slim, sloped beautiful piece of art! Their entire staff works so well together and helped me feel comfortable and at home throughout the entire process. I can't imagine a better result, or having a better group of people to work with. Thank you Dr. Petroff and team! (Special shout out to the surgical coordinator Bri, nurses Heidi and Kelsey, anesthesiologist Geannie and of course Dr Petroff!)
Revision Rhinoplasty FINALLY DONE RIGHT. Lake Oswego, OR - All his staff were professional, kind and welcoming!
DR PETROFF IS MY HERO! I got a nose job by him 5 months ago and it was amazing after the first week, by it literally just keeps getting cuter each month. I'm slightly ashamed about how many selfies I now take. My biggest insecurity for 20 years of my life is now something I'm SO confident about. Not to mention, the surgery was a breeze, my after bandage was cute and petite, my bruising was minimal and I basically went back to my life almost right away. One of best decisions I've ever made!

What to Expect After Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty recovery time varies for each person, but most patients can return to work within 1 – 2 weeks after surgery. In the first few days, you may experience some pain, which can be managed with medication. To promote healing and preserve your unique facial features, it's important to follow Dr. Petroff's instructions carefully. This includes avoiding strenuous activities, keeping your head elevated while resting, and attending all follow-up appointments. Your nose will continue to refine over the next several months, with final results typically visible within a year.
