Patient Case #7230: San Diego Hispanic Nose Job
Procedure Information
Description:As a facial plastic surgeon in the border city of San Diego, many patients seek Dr. Kolstad’s expertise in ethnic rhinoplasty procedures. Dr. Kolstad has an extensive understanding of both nasal anatomy and cultural heritage. When patients discuss ethnic rhinoplasties, such as Hispanic Rhinoplasty, Dr. Kolstad explains the common anatomical distinctions such as specific nasal features, width of nostrils, and thickness of the skin. His experience allows him to tailor techniques to deliver successful and natural results.
For this Hispanic rhinoplasty patient, dorsal reduction and tip refinement were her primary aesthetic concerns. Through her discussions and in-office computer enhancements, Dr. Kolstad discussed how a rhinoplasty would be able to add balance to her facial features. He also recommended the surgery to be performed in combination with a chin augmentation. The chin was recessed and smaller on the profile view, so addressing both the chin and nose would improve the proportions of her face.
