Ethnic rhinoplasty is an approach to nasal surgery requiring a highly individualized technique based on distinctive characteristics of the patient. The most typical ethnic groups we see that are seeking rhinoplasty include Asians, African-Americans, and individuals of Latin and Middle Eastern descent.

At our practice, we utilize a micro-droplet fat grafting technique for our Brazilian Butt Lift procedure to ensure stable, long-lasting results. Fat is first removed from the patient in an area where there is a surplus. It is then purified before being reintroduced to the body. Because the fat is grafted in such small increments, the end results look smoother and more natural. Smaller droplets […]
