Ethnic Rhinoplasty May Help Your Self-Esteem
Rhinoplasty surgery is all about reshaping your nose, which can happen on the inside or the outside or both. Noses can be reshaped to help them function better, blend in with the rest of your facial features, or become a more prominent or less prominent feature. Ethnic rhinoplasty takes this one step further by reshaping your nose so that it also corresponds to your ethnic background and retains that identity.
For example, if you are African American, you are more likely to have a nose that is a little flatter and wider than someone who is Caucasian. When an ethnic rhinoplasty surgeon reshapes an African American’s nose, the goal is not to make the nose appear more Caucasian, but rather to use the patient’s ethnic characteristics to create a nose that stays true to the patient’s heritage while improving the patient’s overall appearance.
Ethnic rhinoplasty does more than reshape your nose and preserve your heritage; it may also have another huge benefit – a boost in your self-esteem. Knowing that you are putting your best face forward makes a world of difference in how you see yourself when you look in the mirror and how you treat yourself going forward.
The Effect on Your Self-Esteem
Your nose is right in the middle of your face and it sticks out furthest from your face, so it’s a feature that garners a lot of attention. This is especially true when your nose doesn’t quite fit with your face – it’s too big, it’s too small, it’s a little crooked, it’s a little flat – whatever the reason, your nose doesn’t complement your other features well if it stands out.
However, when your nose works in tandem with the rest of your face, your overall attractiveness is improved because your face is in harmony. Having a face that looks better makes you feel better about yourself and how you look to other people.
When you are an ethnic rhinoplasty patient, you get the added perk of having a nose and a face that still represents your heritage. Different ethnicities have different physical characteristics throughout their faces; it’s important to recognize and accommodate those differences rather than try to make everyone’s noses look the same. So, when your nose harmonizes with your other facial features and allows your ethnicity to shine through, you’re getting a big boost to your overall self-esteem.
Other Benefits of Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Boosting your self-esteem is only one of the many ways that ethnic rhinoplasty can improve your life. Ethnic rhinoplasty actually has the potential to benefit your mental, physical, and emotional health. A successful ethnic rhinoplasty surgery may also improve your:
