BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job", is more prevalent now than in any other time since the first documented nose surgery in 500 BC. People undergo rhinoplasty for a number of reasons, the most common being dissatisfaction with the appearance of the nose, another significant factor being difficulty breathing as a result of a internally malformed or deviated septum. However in Beverly Hills, CA, a highly sub-specialized form of rhinoplasty is being revolutionized by a premier plastic surgeon, Dr. Ashkan Ghavami.

Dr. Ghavami's innovative "ethno-sensitive" rhinoplasty technique has garnered considerable attention and reverence from other surgeons and various media outlets. The term "ethnic rhinoplasty" refers to the focus on a patient's ethnic background and features to guide the rhinoplasty procedure. Dr. Ghavami's adamant belief in providing natural-looking results for his patients goes hand in hand with ethnic rhinoplasty. When asked to describe how he operates on his patients, he replied, "That question is hard to answer because it's totally dependent on the individual's unique features. I can't give everyone a 'European' nose just because that's what is perceived as attractive. I avoid 'racial incongruity' of facial features at any cost." Though he says that there's no all-encompassing method for his nose surgeries, he did give a glimpse of how he approaches different ethnicities, "When reducing a large nose with a hump and downward tip (common in Mid East patients) it's important not to reduce, upturn or narrow the tip too much. With African American noses, excessive nostril narrowing and tip narrowing should be avoided. The nose needs 'natural' cartilage grafts to improve strength of the nose and maintain new shape so there is no collapse."

Aside from endless success stories from his operations, writing numerous articles for professionally peer reviewed plastic surgery journals, chapters about ethnic rhinoplasty for plastic surgery textbooks, and giving lectures on the topic for colleagues in the field has built Dr. Ghavami a solid name for himself in the world of nose surgery. Many patients have flown in from overseas to undergo nose surgery with Dr. Ghavami, since the results of his ethnic rhinoplasty procedures have a reputation for looking natural and organic, while preserving ethnic features. This is an aspect of plastic surgery that the doctor believes is essential. He states, "One should be able to cover the before picture, only look at the after image and not think that the nose has been operated on."

By placing significant importance on congruity of a reshaped nose with a patient's distinct racial features, Dr. Ghavami's "Ethno-sensitive" Rhinoplasty has become a revolutionary specialty in the field of plastic surgery, in a time when people are celebrating their ethnicities around the globe in a very "web-unified" world.
