The motto of ethnic rhinoplasty is to make the nose more refined without impacting the overall ethnic appearance, and this is about the artistic excellence of a board-certified plastic surgeon and how efficiently they create a nose while preserving the cultural identity. However, ethnic rhinoplasty is more in demand than traditional one, not just correcting the flaws but meeting the desired aesthetic expectations set on the global beauty parameter.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu, an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon and head of Dr. Karishma Aesthetics, Bangalore, is credited for offering excellent results of rhinoplasty surgeries for different ethnic groups with more effective surgical planning and technique selection. According to Dr. Karishma, both South Indian and Middle Eastern populations exhibit a range of nasal shapes and features. Still, it is important to note that generalizations about physical characteristics can vary widely within each group and may not apply universally. However, it is important to plan ethnic rhinoplasty more precisely without compromising the cultural identities, necessary for meeting the best aesthetic outcomes possible.

What is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty is one of the top attentive types of rhinoplasty techniques that is differentiated from traditional ones based on the patient's nasal characteristics. Thus, the structural variation and facial features are primarily evaluated to decide the best type of rhinoplasty to achieve optimal outcomes.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu has an expert, aesthetic sense of deciding on the feasible rhinoplasty technique for ethnic nose jobs, as every patient is unique and their noses vary significantly. Moreover, custom-tailor operation is a must to meet the ultimate results with better refinement by addressing the core concern of droopy tips, thick nasal skin, wide nostrils, rounded nasal tip, or hump or bump on the nasal bridge.

What are the characteristic features of South Indian nose shapes?

Nose characteristics can vary widely from patient to patient regardless of cultural or ethnic background. However, like other facial features, noses can vary widely among people, influenced by genetic, environmental, and cultural factors. In addition, the diversity within South India itself is at play, contributing to a wide range of nose shapes and sizes.

There are some general observations about South Indian nose characteristics as highlighted below:

·       Nose Shape: South Indian noses are often characterized by a straight or slightly concave bridge with a more rounded or bulbous tip.

·       Width: South Indian noses may be wider at the base than those from other regions.

·       Nostril Size: They may have larger nostrils compared to other ethnic groups.

·       Bridge Height: The bridge of the nose can vary in height, but it is often observed to be moderately high, neither particularly high nor particularly low.

·       Profile: In profile view, South Indian noses may exhibit a gentle slope from the forehead to the tip, with a subtle curve.

It is essential to remember that these are general observations and may not apply to every South Indian descent.

FAQs About South Indian Rhinoplasty:

Q. Which rhinoplasty is safe for the South Indian nose?

Dr. Karishma prefers an open rhinoplasty for patients of south India that allows them more exposure to the nasal tip region, as the south Indian nose has main concerns for improvement, including a rounded or bulbous nasal tip, wider nasal structure, humped nasal bridge, nasal bridge that is moderate in height, neither particularly high nor particularly low, and thicker skin on the nose.

Q. How much does ethnic rhinoplasty cost in Bangalore?

The cost of ethnic rhinoplasty, especially for those of South India, may vary significantly from patient to patient, depending on the extent of the correction one may require, the expertise of the plastic surgeon, the accreditation of the center, and many more factors that may influence the procedure. On average, the cost of ethnic nose job surgeries in Bangalore can vary widely, ranging from 75000 – 1.5 lakhs INR or more based on one's problem status, desired goals, and realistic expectations.

Q. How are South Indian nose job surgeries performed?

The initial consultation with Dr Karishma will let you know what technique will be the right fit based on your case; moreover, when it is an open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made in the tissue that separates the nostrils, called the columella. However, this incision allows plastic surgeons more visibility and access to the underlying nasal anatomy, resulting in more defined alterations to the nose's appearance. An open rhinoplasty does leave a very minimal scar underneath the base of the nose that is imperceptible once it heals.

Dr Karishma recommends closed rhinoplasty when a patient requires a moderate change to the nasal appearance, such as a bulbous tip and flaring nostrils. Changes made using a closed technique tend to be more subtle.

Q. Will insurance cover ethnic nose job surgeries in Bangalore?

Generally, insurance coverage is not applicable for elective procedures. Still, if your case falls under accidental or traumatic injuries leading to breathing difficulties or other functional issues, you may be eligible for partial coverage of your rhinoplasty procedure.
