Information About Hispanic Rhinoplasty Surgery with Dr. Andrew Jacono in New York, NY
Considering there are more than 55 million Latinos in the United States, it comes as no surprise that there is a growing demand for Hispanic rhinoplasty. In fact, the Hispanic nose job is one of the fastest-growing cosmetic surgery subsets.
The Latino community has a very diverse range of facial features. Because of this, Hispanic rhinoplasty requires a highly trained surgeon who can address these variations. At the same time, the best surgeons aim to maintain the patient’s Latino identity, not erase it.
Although each patient will have unique features, Hispanic patients share some commonalities, especially in the nose. These include thicker nasal skin and a rounder, more bulbous tip. Other common characteristics include:
These issues, while common, are easily addressed with surgery.

Dr. Jacono begins every consultation with a digital morphing session. He modifies pre-operative photos with the patient to ensure that he only makes desired changes.
Dr. Jacono commonly performs rhinoplasty through a closed approach. This procedure produces no external scars and has a quicker recovery time. He does not break nasal bones or use nasal packing. This expedites healing and makes recovery itself more comfortable. He performs both male and female Hispanic rhinoplasty and tailors his procedures to desired masculinity and femininity.
Often, Dr. Jacono lifts the nasal tip, as many Hispanic rhinoplasty patients have a droopier tip. He does this by elevating and reshaping the tip cartilages. This ensures that the tip will not collapse or appear pinched. To reduce nostril size, he makes a small incision inside the nose and narrows the nasal base. Sometimes, if the tip is too flat, he will perform nasal tip grafting with cartilage harvested from the nasal septum.
If the patient’s nasal bridge and hump are prominent, Dr. Jacono reduces them by using telescopic visualization and fine micro-instruments. The nasal bones can also be thinned with this technique.
As with any other surgery, rhinoplasty recovery time varies based on a number of factors. These include the patient age and health, the complexity of the surgery, and whether or not the patient is a smoker. For the most part, patients should expect to take at least a week off of work and limit their physical activity. Most people are able to return to work by the second week after surgery. All patients are encouraged to limit their exposure to the sun and perform only light exercises.
The first step in finding the best rhinoplasty surgeon in New York is to look at the physician’s qualifications and certifications. Since rhinoplasty is a complicated surgical procedure, you will want to make sure that the doctor is specialized. Visit their before and after photos to review their typical results.
