What Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty surgery, just like other plastic surgery operations, has been operated on for many years according to the beauty standards set by Europe. Based on the nose shapes of Caucasian women, all patients were be given small noses with raised nose tips. However, these operations sometimes produce unnatural-looking results that do not suit the facial features of the patients. Individuals belonging to different ethnic groups have different facial anatomies due to their ethnic origins. Ethnic rhinoplasty is the operation applied to correct the nasal structures of these patients.

Ethnic rhinoplasty is mostly being performed on patients from Latin America, Africa, and the Far East. In ethnic rhinoplasty surgery, it is essential to create a beautiful and natural result that is compatible with the rest of the face by the patient's ethnicity and nose anatomy. In other words, a suitable nose shape must be designed without changing the ethnic characteristics of the individual. Patients should be informed that Ethnic Rhinoplasty will reveal they are natural beauty without disturbing the originality of the nasal structure and will produce a much more successful result.

The rhinoplasty surgery that is not suitable for the patient's ethnicity also carries the risk of causing health problems by restricting the functions of the nose.

How Is the Ethnic Rhinoplasty Surgery Performed?

Ethnic Rhinoplasty procedure requires expertise and experience. Standard rhinoplasty operations generally focus on nose reduction, which is possible by removing the nasal bone and cartilage. On the other hand, the situation is different in ethnic rhinoplasty. In these surgeries, nose augmentation and cartilage addition procedures are needed. The plastic surgeon must be gifted, experienced, and equipped to perform these procedures expertly. Factors such as facial anatomy and skin type also play an important role in ethnic rhinoplasty operations.

The patient's skin type and thickness can make the surgery more difficult and affect the healing process. Patients with thicker and oily skin types take longer to heal. Thanks to successful ethnic rhinoplasty surgery, patients get attractive and natural noses that do not deny their ethnic origins and suit their face shapes. Patients have stated that they are now happier and more successful in their social and professional lives since their self-confidence increases after the surgery.
