Wellness Kliniek has an international clientele and receives people from different origins. The request for an 'ethnic rhinoplasty', 'western rhinoplasty or 'Asian rhinoplasty' regularly comes along.
The aim of a rhinoplasty is not to create a nose typical of Western standards, but to enhance the natural beauty of your specific facial features. Ideal candidates for an ethnic rhinoplasty are men and women who want to improve their nose shape while maintaining their cultural or ethnic identity.
At Wellness Kliniek, we like to emphasise that everyone is beautiful. It is not our aim to think in boxes. However, to paint a picture from an informative point of view, below we tell you about the reasons our patients themselves give for choosing an 'ethnic rhinoplasty'.
- Arab, too large nose: An Arab rhinoplasty correction of the nose (also called hawk nose) requested by people of Arab or North African descent often focuses on refining or straightening the nasal bridge (bridge of the nose), adjusting the nose tip, and proportionally adjusting wide nostrils.
- Asian, overly flat nose: Asian rhinoplasty usually focuses on raising the nasal bridge (bridge of the nose), refining the nasal tip, and reducing or subtly narrowing the nostrils or nostrils.
- African, too wide nose: African rhinoplasty focuses on narrowing the nasal bridge to create a slimmer nose, refining the nasal tip, and adjusting the nostrils or nostrils. Tissue at the base of the nostrils is often removed to reduce the width of the nose, while other changes are very subtle to ensure harmony in the rest of the face.
- Jewish oversized nose: This rhinoplasty is also called Jewish rhinoplasty, due to specific anatomical features. Reducing a large Jewish nose often focuses on lowering and refining a prominent nasal bridge. Specific attention is paid to the nasal tip (tip or end of the nose), especially if it is perceived as too large or too prominent.
- Turkish oversized nose: A rhinoplasty for people from Turkey and the Balkans usually focuses on reducing or lowering an overly prominent nasal bridge, often with a hump, and refining the nose tip.
- Europe and Russia: A Western rhinoplasty or Caucasian rhinoplasty is rhinoplasty for people from Europe and Russia, and can vary in approach, but often focuses on adjusting the nasal bridge, refining the nasal tip and correcting asymmetries and the septum. A Western rhinoplasty often aims for a straight or slightly curved nasal bridge that is considered aesthetically pleasing within Western aesthetics.
