The shape of Pakistani noses can vary significantly from person to person due to their rich cultures and mixed heritage. The multiple cultures that have lived in the sub-continent have created many different ethnic mixtures. Typical Pakistani noses may have thicker skin, a broader nose or an overly projected nose. The aim of Pakistani Rhinoplasty surgery is to enhance the nasal appearance, in keeping with the patient’s cultural and ethnic background.

Is Pakistani Nose Surgery Different From a Conventional Nose Surgery?

Yes, it is different. Not every surgeon can perform an ethnic nose job. The goal is to enhance the features of a person in harmony with their facial structure, not to give them a conventional tiny nose or westernised nose that will not match the rest of their features.

Choosing an experienced nasal surgeon who specializes in improving many different nasal shapes, and “ethnic noses”, is the only right way to do it. Some patients want to maintain aspects of their ethnicity, rather than a completely “Westernised” nose, and of course, the nose has to match the rest of the face.

Different Types of Pakistani Noses

Some Pakistanis have droopy nose tips and some will also have thick skin. Usually, an upwards rotation of the nose, and perhaps an increase in projection will solve the problem. Most people are concerned about the idea of making their noses bigger, but sometimes that is what’s going to fix the problem. To further improve the look, the thick skin can be refined by de-fatting, and steroid injections (which are done in the months after surgery).

At the other end of the spectrum, some individuals have overly-projected noses, perhaps with a bump on the nasal bridge. In these cases, the overall size of the nose can be reduced to enhance the nose contour and improve breathing.

There is a third kind of Pakistani nose which is very common – a broad nose. Some people have a wide bony area, whereas some have a wider tip. Nasal Cosmetic surgeons usually opt for controlled nasal fractures to narrow the nasal vault, as well as, the nostrils.

A Personalised Approach and Maintenance of Ethnic Identity

The key to rhinoplasty (in the case of people with either Indian or Pakistani ethnicities) lies in understanding their facial features, along with their individual goals.

Some people will come in asking for a “Barbie nose” which is not suited to most ethnic faces. Luckily, with the use of computerized 3D planning technologies, nasal surgeons can show their patients how a particular nose will look with the rest of their facial features. The goal here is to take a personalized approach and enhance the ethnic features of an individual.

The Extent of Change Required

Deciding on the extent of cosmetic change is crucial to those of Pakistani ethnicity. In most cases, they are afraid of looking like a completely different person altogether. It is essential for the surgeon to address this concern with patience and ease.

The best way is to schedule an extensive preoperative discussion and show the proposed change levels with the help of a 3D Imaging tool like Facetune. The goal is to achieve a natural look while keeping the patient’s vision in mind.

Having Realistic Expectations

As a patient, it is important to keep realistic expectations. Every nose has a limit to how much it can change. Traditionally, Pakistani noses have weak cartilage and thick skin.

If you want a tiny nose, it will most likely not only look disproportionate to the rest of your facial features, but the overlying skin might not shrink accordingly. As a result, you’ll end up with a botched nose. Read our blog on Fixing a Failed Nose Job with Revision Rhinoplasty.

At Melbourne ENT (the practice of Dr Stephen Kleid and Dr Simon Braham in Melbourne), we make use of preoperative 3D imaging to show simulated results to our clients. We ensure that our patients have a clear understanding of what their noses may look like after surgery. The surgeon still must decide if the plan is reasonable and achievable.

Incision Types

Most complex Rhinoplasties require an Open Rhinoplasty, with a small stepped incision in the columella (the bridge of skin and cartilage between the nostrils. They heal exceptionally well, even with darker-skinned patients. Your surgeon will show you before-and-after photographs during the consultation.

Pakistani Celebrities Who Have Had a Nose Job

There is a long list of Pakistani celebrities who have undergone a nose job. Here are the most popular ones:

Aisha Khan

Aisha Khan has been a television sensation for quite some time. She has starred in multiple dramas and films. It looks like she has undergone a knife quite a lot due to her evolved appearance over the years.
