Their Western counterparts are not much different, and seek rhinoplasty with the same level of vigor.

As a surgeon who is particularly experienced in Persian rhinoplasty, Dr. Brownrigg understands all nuances of this incredibly delicate surgery. His goal is to refine and complement his patients’ naturally ethnic appearance while sculpting a nose that is beautiful and desired by the patient.

When coming to see Dr. Brownrigg for a consultation, most patients desire a smaller nose with a slightly upturned tip.

Dr. Brownrigg prefers using the patient’s own cartilage, as it eliminates the possibility of infection or rejection. In many cases, the ideal cartilage is what’s known as costal cartilage, found on the front of the ribs.
