Key Takeaways of the Page
Many patients of various ethnic backgrounds are seeking rhinoplasty to improve or refine their nasal appearance while still retaining the aesthetic markers of their ethnic identity. Some patients, however, are seeking a more Westernized nose through what is commonly referred to as Westernization rhinoplasty.
The goal of Westernization rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach is give the nose and face a more Western appearance without creating an overdone look. This type of rhinoplasty may be sought by individuals of African American, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, or other ethnic backgrounds.
While many changes can be made with Westernization rhinoplasty, common changes include increasing definition in the nasal tip to address a bulbous appearance, increasing nasal tip projection, increasing the height of the nasal dorsum, and reducing the size of the nostrils.
