Rating: 4.5 (412 reviews)

For many individuals of Hispanic descent, the nose is more than a central facial feature—it’s a defining part of identity. At Cara Plastic Surgery, Hispanic rhinoplasty is performed by board-certified surgeon Dr. David Kahng, who brings cultural sensitivity, surgical precision, and an eye for natural beauty to every case.

What Is Hispanic Rhinoplasty?

Hispanic rhinoplasty is a form of ethnic rhinoplasty tailored to the structural traits common among individuals of Latin American heritage. It’s designed to refine the nose’s shape or function without compromising cultural identity or facial harmony. Dr. Kahng approaches each procedure with deep respect for diversity—aiming to subtly enhance your natural features, not to conform to a standardized appearance.

Common Characteristics of the Hispanic Nose

While there is wide variation across Hispanic communities, many patients share one or more of the following features:

Thicker skin, especially over the nasal tip
A low or less-defined bridge
A broad or rounded nasal tip
Wide or flared nostrils

These traits can affect definition and projection but are beautifully addressed with refined surgical techniques that maintain your cultural identity while improving balance and proportion.

What Can Hispanic Rhinoplasty Achieve?

Hispanic rhinoplasty in Las Vegas at Cara Plastic Surgery & Laser Center is customized to your anatomy and personal goals. Common enhancements include:

Elevating and refining the nasal bridge
Reshaping and projecting the tip
Narrowing the nostrils for better balance
Removing a dorsal hump or correcting asymmetry
Improving breathing function with septoplasty or internal adjustments

The goal is a nose that feels true to your face, improving both appearance and, when needed, function.

How the Procedure Works

Dr. Kahng performs Hispanic rhinoplasty at our AAAASF-accredited surgical center in Las Vegas using one of two primary approaches:

Closed Rhinoplasty

All incisions are made within the nostrils. Best for subtle reshaping, this technique leaves no visible scarring and typically offers a shorter recovery.

Open Rhinoplasty

A small incision is made at the base of the nose between the nostrils, providing full access to underlying structures. Ideal for more significant changes, cartilage grafting, or tip refinement.

Cartilage grafts—often from your septum, ear, or rib—may be used to support structure and improve definition. Dr. Kahng selects each technique based on your goals, skin thickness, and nasal anatomy.

Recovery After Hispanic Rhinoplasty

Recovery is generally smooth with proper care and guidance. Most patients in Las Vegas can expect:

7–10 days of initial downtime due to swelling and bruising
Return to light activities or work within one week
Ongoing refinement over 6 to 12 months as residual swelling subsides

During healing, it’s important to:

Avoid strenuous activity for 3–4 weeks
Keep your head elevated when resting
Avoid direct pressure on the nose (e.g., wearing glasses)
Follow all post-operative instructions for the best outcome

Our team provides personalized aftercare and follow-up visits to ensure optimal healing.
