Benefits of Ethnic Rhinoplasty in Santa Monica
Improved Symmetry
Ethnic rhinoplasty allows you to adjust the size of your nose and smooth out bumps or depressions to improve overall symmetry.
Facial Balance
Ethnic rhinoplasty helps balance your nose with the rest of your face, giving you a more even and natural look.
Personalized Results
Ethnic rhinoplasty is tailored to your unique facial features, ensuring that the results enhance your natural beauty without compromising your identity.
Consultation
It all kicks off with a one-on-one consultation with your licensed Younique provider. During this relaxed chat, you’ll talk about your goals, any concerns you have, and your medical history. If rhinoplasty is the right fit for you, they’ll schedule your procedure and walk you through all the pre-surgery steps to get you ready for your transformation!

Procedure
Your 1- to 2-hour ethnic rhinoplasty surgery can be done as an “open” or “closed” rhinoplasty. In an open ethnic rhinoplasty, your surgeon makes an incision across the tissue between the nostrils.
The skin is gently lifted, allowing them to reshape the bone, cartilage, and tissue. Afterward, the skin is laid back in place, and the incision is stitched up.
With a closed ethnic rhinoplasty, all the incisions are made inside the nostrils. This method offers less access to the bone and cartilage, making it ideal for smaller or more moderate adjustments.

Recovery
After your ethnic rhinoplasty in Santa Monica, you’ll wear a nasal splint for about 5 to 8 days, and we’ll give you nasal packing to help with swelling and bleeding. The packing can be removed the day after your surgery. Any discomfort is easily managed with prescription or over-the-counter meds, and most people start feeling better within 48 hours. Your nose may stay swollen for a couple of weeks, but it can take up to a year for the final results to fully settle in.

Can ethnic rhinoplasty help me breathe easier during exercise?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is typically considered a cosmetic procedure. If you’re having trouble breathing through your nose, a septoplasty might be a better option. This procedure focuses on the internal cartilage and bone of your nose to improve airflow and can be deemed medically necessary.
How long does it take to see full results of an ethic rhinoplasty?
Most Younique patients won’t notice a huge change in the overall size of their nose until it’s fully healed, which can take up to a year.
But that’s actually a good thing! It means your ethnic rhinoplasty will enhance your natural look, avoiding drastic, obvious changes. While the improvements might not be dramatic in size, many patients feel a big difference in how their nose looks—thanks to new angles, proportions, and subtle tweaks to areas they weren’t happy with. And don’t worry, we’ll take before-and-after photos for you (though we’re sure your phone will be flooded with selfies, thanks to your boosted confidence!)
