The nose is a central feature of the face—and for many individuals of Hispanic descent, rhinoplasty can be an opportunity to refine and enhance nasal shape while preserving cultural identity. Dr. David Kahng specializes in Hispanic rhinoplasty, combining surgical precision with an understanding of ethnic beauty to deliver natural-looking, harmonious results.

What Is Hispanic Rhinoplasty?

Hispanic rhinoplasty is a form of ethnic rhinoplasty designed to address nasal concerns common among patients of Latin American ancestry. This procedure is tailored to respect your unique facial structure and cultural features while improving nasal balance, breathing, and aesthetics.

Dr. Kahng approaches every case with artistry, precision, and a deep appreciation for diversity. The goal is never to “Westernize” the face, but to enhance your natural beauty with subtle, proportionate improvements.

Common Features of the Hispanic Nose

While nasal structure varies widely across Hispanic populations, some common traits include:

Thicker nasal skin, especially at the tip, which can mask definition
A low or undefined nasal bridge, creating a flatter appearance
A wide or bulbous tip, often lacking projection
Flared or broad nostrils, which can impact facial balance

Dr. Kahng carefully evaluates these characteristics to develop a surgical plan that enhances symmetry while preserving the integrity of your ethnic features.

What Can Hispanic Rhinoplasty Achieve?

Hispanic rhinoplasty in Orange County at Cara Plastic Surgery & Laser Center can improve both appearance and function. With a customized procedure, Dr. Kahng can:

Refine and elevate a flat nasal bridge
Reshape and project the nasal tip
Narrow wide nostrils
Remove dorsal humps or smooth a crooked bridge
Achieve overall balance and proportion across the face
Improve breathing by correcting internal nasal structures

What to Expect During the Procedure

Dr. Kahng performs Hispanic rhinoplasty at our AAAASF-accredited surgical center in Orange County. Depending on your anatomy and goals, he may use:

Closed Rhinoplasty

All incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no external scarring. This is appropriate for more minor adjustments.

Open Rhinoplasty

An incision is made at the base of the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) to provide full access to nasal structures—ideal for more complex reshaping or grafting.

Grafting or implants may be used to augment the bridge and support the nasal tip. Grafts are often harvested from your own cartilage (typically from the septum, ear, or rib) to ensure compatibility and longevity.

Recovery After Hispanic Rhinoplasty

Following your Hispanic nose surgery in Orange County, you'll experience temporary swelling and bruising—particularly around the eyes. Most patients:

Return to work or school within 7–10 days
See visible improvements within 2–3 weeks
Continue to see refinement as swelling resolves over 6–12 months

During recovery, it’s important to:

Avoid strenuous activity for at least 3–4 weeks
Keep your head elevated
Avoid wearing glasses directly on the nose
Follow all post-operative instructions for the best outcome

A Personalized Approach to Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Dr. Kahng’s strength lies in his ability to enhance your appearance without erasing the traits that make you uniquely you. Hispanic rhinoplasty is not about creating a generic ideal—it’s about highlighting your best features and restoring harmony to your face.
