Rhinoplasty is one of the most nuanced and technically demanding facial plastic surgery procedures. For patients of Indian origin, achieving an aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking result requires far more than a “one-size-fits-all” approach. It demands a surgeon who deeply understands ethnic facial anatomy, skin characteristics, cultural aesthetics, and functional nasal support.
Dr. Kailash Narasimhan is a board-certified plastic surgeon serving St. Petersburg, Tampa, and the greater Tampa Bay area, with extensive experience in ethnic rhinoplasty, including rhinoplasty tailored specifically for patients of Indian origin. His approach focuses on enhancing facial harmony while preserving ethnic identity, ensuring results that are refined, balanced, and authentic.
