In Persian culture, rhinoplasty is a common and culturally accepted procedure. When we perform Persian rhinoplasty in Canada, our aim is to flatten or refine the nose to create a more harmonious balance with the individual’s overall facial features.
At Solomon Facial Plastic, we have developed specialized techniques to achieve results that enhance and preserve the distinctive beauty of Persian facial characteristics.
If you’re considering this procedure, it’s important to assess your readiness, both emotionally and physically. Our team is here to guide you through the process and help determine if Persian rhinoplasty is the right choice for you.
About the Procedure
Iran is often referred to as the rhinoplasty capital of the world, with a rate of surgery far higher than the global average. For many Iranian women, headscarves cover much of their appearance in public, making the face, and particularly the nose, the primary focal point for self-expression and beauty enhancement.
Dr. Solomon brings extensive training and experience in Persian rhinoplasty, giving him a deep understanding of the unique nuances involved in this specialized procedure. While creating a more refined and attractive nose is part of the goal, his true focus lies in enhancing his clients’ natural beauty by preserving and complementing their distinct ethnic features.
Persian Facial-Nasal Appearances
Persian ancestry has several beautiful facial attributes like prominent cheekbones and wide eyes. However, it additionally increases the chance that someone has nasal traits specific to the culture, like a nasal hump, broad bridge, extended tip, and thick skin, which diminishes nasal definition. The nose may thus appear hooked or drooping.
These are targeted issues that may prompt some persians to seek improvement. Whilst the degree of improvement has changed over the years. Previously most wanted a very refined and small nasal appearance. Nowadays, Persian patients are looking for a more natural nasal shape that retains their ancestry. The previous “operated in appearance” nasal appearance is not nearly as common as it once was.
How to Obtain a Natural Result
Natural outcomes are when the nose appears more harmonious with a person’s surrounding features. It should appear organic instead of out of place. If the size is decreased too much, pinching is noticeable. An alternative solution is to under-reduce cartilage.
The best way to achieve a natural look is to consult our surgeon, who has extensive experience in ethnic rhinoplasty. We are familiar with each client’s distinctive facial-nasal attributes and know the necessity of retaining them. We can also tailor our approach to suit diverse patients.
For example, Persians generally have thicker nasal skin, which doesn’t shrink as much when underlying structures are reduced. This results in a lower definition. Surgeons with experience in this area know how to modify their treatments to compensate for these attributes for superior results.
Modest/moderate changes appear more natural when conducted by an expert with years of experience. However, the alterations can significantly vary depending on the person’s traits and goals.
Dr. Philip Solomon discusses the client’s objectives in depth. He listens to the client’s wants and then presents them using imaging tools. Computer imaging and analyzing before-and-after images of past clients have proven beneficial in achieving positive results.
Factors to Consider Before Surgery
Physical Health
Although rhinoplasty is less complicated and time-consuming than other treatments, we recommend that clients be healthy and have minimal pre-existing issues. If they have problems like diabetes or high blood pressure, they can still obtain surgery, provided their health challenges are managed as needed.
Clients must avoid smoking and alcohol two weeks before and after the procedure for the best results. Persian adolescents can have surgery when they are 16–18 years old, despite physical growth not coinciding with their age. However, before treatment, our surgeons must ensure their client’s face reaches full maturity.
Emotional Considerations
Rhinoplasty can significantly alter the way an individual perceives themselves. The individual must be prepared for both the recovery time needed and for the changes that will arise. Expectations should be reasonable.
Cosmetic surgery enhances your features instead of striving to attain “perfection.” Anticipated results must reflect this reality to avoid disappointment. Our consultations provide an opportunity to learn about what to expect and the goals of the procedure.
Aside from altering a person’s appearance, the reasons for rhinoplasty must be considered. It is not the best decision if someone is content with their appearance, but is getting surgery because of pressure from friends or family. Even as rhinoplasty has encompassed tradition and status in Persian culture, it doesn’t mean someone must receive it.
Similarly, you should avoid rhinoplasty if you are relying on it to improve your romantic opportunities or professional chances. If you have any questions, we suggest that you consult our surgeon and discuss your concerns.
Ethnicity
While not a must, all clients must consider how they want to portray their ethnic traits if they have rhinoplasty. Iranians have common facial-nasal traits like humped, broad bridges, or extended tips. Eliminating such distinctive characteristics is not necessarily an essential component of Persian nose surgery.
Why consider the procedure?
The nose is one of the most prominent and defining features of the face. Various factors, such as genetics, past trauma, or prior surgeries, can influence someone’s decision to pursue Persian rhinoplasty. The most common concerns among clients include drooping, boxy, or bulbous nasal tips.
More people are now seeking rhinoplasty to enhance their side profile. Our skilled surgeons can adjust nostril size by refining the width or changing the angle of the nasal tip. Procedures may also involve narrowing the nasal bridge. In many cases, clients choose to pair rhinoplasty with additional facial enhancements tailored to their aesthetic goals, regardless of their current nose shape.
It’s also important to note that not all patients seek rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons. Some experience chronic snoring, breathing difficulties, or nasal congestion due to structural issues. In such cases, functionality can often be improved by procedures like turbinate reduction or septum straightening.
