One of the most common reasons Middle Eastern patients seek rhinoplasty is to address a visible hump on the bridge of the nose. While this feature can be a strong and defining characteristic, for some individuals it creates a sense of imbalance or draws too much attention.
Thicker nasal skin can make definition more difficult to achieve, especially at the tip. Dr. Díaz uses specialized grafting techniques and support structures to create long-lasting definition beneath the skin.
In addition to aesthetic concerns, many Middle Eastern patients experience difficulty breathing due to deviated septums, narrow nasal passages, or collapsed valves. Functional rhinoplasty corrects these issues during the same surgery, improving airflow and comfort while delivering cosmetic refinement.
A broad nasal base or flared nostrils are common traits, especially among patients from the Gulf region or North Africa. Alar base reduction or subtle narrowing of the nostrils can enhance symmetry and soften the overall facial appearance, particularly when viewed from the front.
Dr. Díaz has the experience to not only help you breath better, but look your best as well!

Puerto Vallarta is known for it's beaches, shopping, and whale watching.
A wider nasal base or flared nostrils can overpower the lower third of the face. For patients who desire a more delicate or proportionate nasal shape, alar base reduction can narrow the nostrils and refine the overall contour. The incisions are strategically placed in natural creases to remain discreet and heal smoothly.
Many Middle Eastern patients also suffer from restricted airflow due to a deviated septum, narrow internal valves, or collapsed nasal passages. Functional rhinoplasty focuses on improving internal anatomy to enhance breathing, often performed in tandem with aesthetic refinements.
Dr. Javier Díaz is uniquely qualified to perform Asian rhinoplasty, offering specialized expertise in procedures that enhance rather than reduce nasal features. Unlike traditional Caucasian rhinoplasty, which often focuses on reducing the size of the nose, Asian rhinoplasty frequently involves augmentation—adding to the nasal structure to create a more defined and balanced appearance.
Dr. Diaz’s approach is not only about enhancing the nose’s appearance but also ensuring its stability and safety. He meticulously tailors each procedure to add structure and support where needed, creating a nose that complements the patient’s facial features while maintaining the integrity of their ethnic identity. Dr. Diaz’s extensive experience in working with Asian patients allows him to understand the distinct anatomical differences and aesthetic goals that are crucial for achieving natural-looking results.

Thick skin is common among Middle Eastern patients, especially around the nasal tip. While it can make fine definition more challenging, advanced techniques like cartilage grafting and internal support structures can create lasting, visible improvements even in thicker skin types.
Initial swelling and bruising subside within 10–14 days, and many patients return to work in two weeks. Because of thicker skin and more structural adjustments, final results may take up to 12 months to fully settle. Dr. Díaz will guide you through each step of the healing process.
Over-reduction—removing too much bone or cartilage—can lead to unnatural results and future breathing problems. Dr. Díaz avoids this by practicing conservative reshaping techniques and reinforcing nasal structures. This ensures the nose maintains a strong, functional, and aesthetically balanced form long-term.
Ideally, rhinoplasty candidates are at least 16–17 years old when nasal growth is nearly complete. For Middle Eastern patients, whose nasal cartilage is often robust, waiting until full facial maturity helps Dr. Díaz achieve stable, long-lasting results. However, each case is unique: teenagers with severe breathing problems or pronounced aesthetic concerns may be evaluated individually, with parental consent and careful psychological assessment.
Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4–6 weeks post-op to prevent swelling, bleeding, or displacement of grafts. Light walking can resume after 5–7 days to promote circulation. Dr. Díaz provides a detailed recovery timeline tailored to your procedure’s complexity—tip grafts or septal work may require slightly longer rest periods to ensure grafts integrate fully and swelling resolves optimally.
