Ethnic rhinoplasty

Ethnic Rhinoplasty is a specialized approach to nasal surgery that respects and preserves the unique characteristics of a patient's cultural background while achieving balance and refinement. At The Kian Institute, Dr. Kian Karimi customizes every surgical plan to complement the patient's heritage, anatomy, and aesthetic goals-never to erase or homogenize. The result is a beautiful harmony between identity and enhancement.

Ethnic rhinoplasty refers to nasal surgery performed on patients of diverse ethnic backgrounds, such as African, Middle Eastern, Asian, or Latin descent. These cases often involve unique structural characteristics-such as thicker skin, wider nasal bases, or less cartilage support-that require refined techniques and cultural sensitivity. The goal is to refine, not westernize, the nose while supporting function and maintaining cultural integrity.
