Rhinoplasty is always customised to our patients’ cosmetic preferences – we want you to look the way you want to look. That’s why we offer our patients in Sydney and Wollongong ethnic nose surgery, such as the Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty.
Facial features are unique; however, people from certain ethnic groups tend to have particular facial features. Studies show that people who descend from a certain ethnicity share common nose features related to shape, projection, length, and width. The Middle Eastern rhinoplasty is a special type of ethnic rhinoplasty that’s designed for patients of Lebanese, Middle-Eastern, or Syrian descent.
Plastic Surgeons Dr Maryam and Dr Hunt perform Middle Eastern rhinoplasty and other ethnic nose job procedures for patients of various ethnic backgrounds in Sydney and Wollongong NSW. The surgeons design the ethnic rhinoplasty procedure for patients who want to maintain their unique ethnic appearance.
Middle Eastern rhinoplasty, or Middle Eastern nose job, is a type of ethnic nose reshaping surgery. It’s specifically designed to preserve the cosmetic ethnic features of people of Middle Eastern ethnicity. Middle Eastern rhino is one of many ethnic nose job procedures that aim to maintain the unique looks of people from specific ethnicity (just like an Indian rhinoplasty or Asian rhinoplasty).
Although Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty can reinforce your ethnic identity, that’s not the only advantage it offers. Ethnic nose jobs in general result in a more harmonious face, since the unique ethnic nose will enhance your other ethnic facial features (e.g. eyes, face shape, face size, jaw shape).
The Middle Eastern rhinoplasty takes into consideration the standard (or usual) nose shape seen in Middle Eastern people. This includes characteristics like the shape of the nasal hump, width of the nasal base, size of the nostrils, and projection of the tip.
The ethnic Middle Eastern nose features are known to plastic surgeons thanks to many observational studies that have recorded the most common nose shapes in this population. Despite this, Middle Eastern rhinoplasty can’t be performed by just any plastic surgeon. It requires specific knowledge of the target population and experience in this specific surgery.
Over the years, Dr Hunt and Dr Maryam, have worked with many patients of Middle Eastern descent in Sydney and surrounds. They have the knowledge, skill, and dedicated experience in preserving Middle Eastern nose features through an ethnic rhinoplasty.
Every nose is different. However, certain cosmetic features are prevalent in people of a specific ethnicity. These are features that are characteristic of these ethnic groups and, sometimes, part of their identity. When it comes to the Middle Eastern nose, it’s expected to have the following characteristics:
These unique features give the Middle Eastern nose its identity. If you’re getting a Middle Eastern nose job, your nose will be reshaped according to all known beauty standards, but your surgeon will be mindful of your ethnic features that you want to enhance. Your nose will be reshaped and improved while taking all your facial features into consideration, in addition to emphasising your ethnic characteristics.
Despite the name, Middle Eastern rhinoplasty is not only for patients of Middle Eastern descent. Biology knows no boundaries, and we share genetics and features with communities that extend way beyond our borders. That being said, the ancestry and descent of Middle Eastern people intertwine with those of other Oriental countries (e.g. Greece and Cyprus) and Middle-Eastern countries (e.g. Iraq, Syria, Jordan). People descending from these ethnicities tend to share the typical Middle Eastern nose features. That’s why, sometimes, the Middle Eastern nose job can be called an Oriental Rhinoplasty in the medical literature.
If you’re considering having your nose done, then an ethnic Middle Eastern rhino might be the right option for you if:
If this sounds like you, then Middle Eastern rhino can help. This custom ethnic nose job ensures that your nose reflects your identity and goes perfectly with the rest of your inherited facial features.
When comparing traditional rhinoplasty to Middle Eastern ethnic rhino, the differences may appear minor. But all that it takes in nose surgery is a subtle change to alter the whole end result.
For an outside observer, both Middle Eastern rhino and traditional rhino surgery are similar. The surgery can include General or local anaesthesia. Open or closed incision. Nasal bone-breaking, cartilage manipulation, reshaping, tip reshaping, alarplasty, tip plasty, bone or cartilage grafting. Even in a Middle Eastern rhinoplasty, each patient needs a unique approach that suits their individual anatomy and cosmetic desires.
The difference between the Middle Eastern nose job and the traditional rhino lies in the little things. Your surgeon will reshape the nose in a way to:
See, it’s all about relative proportions. The whole nose is reshaped according to international beauty standards. However, the size of each part, its shape, and projection, will be relatively different to preserve a Middle Eastern ethnic appearance.
Determining the cost of a Middle Eastern rhinoplasty can’t be done before getting examined by Dr Maryam or Dr Hunt. Each procedure is custom-designed to meet every patient’s aspirations and desires. The type of anaesthesia, surgical approach, location of surgery, and additional procedures all play a role in determining the final price of a Middle Eastern rhinoplasty. Our surgeons will gladly give you an estimate of how much you’ll need to pay once you come for your appointment.
Medicare and insurance in Australia might sometimes cover rhinoplasty procedures performed to treat functional medical problems (e.g. nasal obstruction or septal deviation). Therefore, sometimes, you might be eligible for a rebate and partial health insurance coverage.
Many surgeons offer ethnic rhinoplasty in Australia. However, few specifically offer Middle Eastern rhinoplasty. Even fewer have the skill and experience to do it.
Plastic Surgeons Dr Hunt and Dr Maryam have developed extensive knowledge in Oriental and Middle-Eastern rhinoplasty throughout their years with patients from various ethnic backgrounds. They base their work on statistically known ethnic features and put them into practice using their surgical skill.
