Ethnic Rhinoplasty in Montréal: Enhancing Your Nose While Preserving Your Identity
Montréal is one of the most culturally diverse cities in North America, and its facial plastic surgery landscape reflects that. Patients seeking rhinoplasty increasingly come from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, each with unique nasal structures and aesthetic goals.
This has made ethnic rhinoplasty one of the fastest-growing and most advanced techniques in Montréal.
The goal is simple yet deeply important: enhance the nose without erasing cultural identity.
What Makes Ethnic Rhinoplasty Different?
Ethnic rhinoplasty requires a different approach because nasal anatomy varies significantly between groups:
- Thicker skin
- Weaker cartilage support
- Wider nasal base
- Lower dorsal height
- Unique tip shape or projection
Instead of forcing a “Eurocentric” result, the goal is to improve balance while maintaining authenticity.
Types of Ethnic Rhinoplasty Common in Montréal
Different communities have different structural considerations:
- Middle Eastern rhinoplasty: refine the hump, support the tip
- African and Afro-Caribbean rhinoplasty: narrow nasal base, increase projection
- East Asian rhinoplasty: increase dorsum height, refine the tip
- Latin American rhinoplasty: adjust width and rotation
- Jewish rhinoplasty: soften the bridge while preserving character
Every nose has a story. Ethnic rhinoplasty preserves that story.
Key Principles of Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Dr. Dolev focuses on structural, natural refinement:
- Supporting cartilage instead of weakening it
- Building shape (grafts) when natural support is low
- Maintaining ethnic features while softening heavy areas
- Improving breathing and internal function
Natural Results Without Over-Refinement
The objective is subtle transformation:
- A smoother profile
- A more defined yet natural tip
- Improved symmetry
- A nose that fits the face
Not “a new person.” Just a better version of you.
