Ethnic Rhinoplasty may vary depending on individuals’ personal characteristics and national identities. In Turkey, ethnic rhinoplasty is a common procedure we perform in our clinic. Ethnic rhinoplasty is a customized rhinoplasty technique for individuals with different nose characteristics, such as Caucasian, African American, Middle Eastern, African American, Asian and Latino. The doctor’s experience and expertise in ethnic rhinoplasty is very important to be able to apply these special rhinoplasty techniques. It is also necessary to have knowledge about ethnic faces.
What is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?
Ethnic Rhinoplasty is a specific form of rhinoplasty surgery that aims to achieve natural and harmonious results without losing the ethnic characteristics of our patients. During my ethnic rhinoplasty surgeries, I always focus on giving my patients an appropriate change that they will be happy with and won’t look too different from.
Ethnic rhinoplasty (rhinoplasty) in Istanbul, Turkey is definitely different from regular rhinoplasty operations in many ways. This type of surgical intervention requires the most care and attention because, unfortunately, any change that is not in any place does not give the person a different appearance in a good way.
What Does Ethnic Rhinoplasty Include?
For African Americans, rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure takes approximately 2-3 hours and patients are checked after 1 week. Shaping the nose is a complex process due to the ethnic characteristics of the African American nose anatomy; These features include skin type, thickness, bridge shape, tip width and nostrils.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty Types
Ethnic rhinoplasty includes a variety of techniques customized to the specific needs of the nose structures of individuals of different ethnic origins. Here are some of the common ethnic rhinoplasty types:
Caucasian Rhinoplasty
Caucasian rhinoplasty generally involves reducing the height of the nasal bridge, increasing nasal tip projection, and narrowing the width of the nose. This aims to achieve a smaller and more elegant nose profile.
African American Rhinoplasty
This type of rhinoplasty generally aims to reduce the width of the nose tip and nostrils while preserving the height of the nose bridge. Additionally, special techniques can be used on patients with coarser or thicker skin texture.
Middle East Rhinoplasty
For patients of Middle Eastern descent, rhinoplasty may include smoothing the bridge of the nose, increasing nose tip projection, and making the nostrils smaller.
Asian Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty in Asian patients generally aims to reduce the height of the nasal bridge, increase nasal tip projection, and make the nostrils smaller. Additionally, it may be important to eliminate irregularities on the dorsum of the nose.
Latin Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty for patients of Latin descent usually involves maintaining the height of the bridge of the nose, increasing nose tip projection, and making the nostrils smaller and more elegant.
Rhinoplasty for each ethnic group requires a customized approach in accordance with the typical nasal characteristics and aesthetic preferences of those groups. Therefore, your surgeon’s experience and expertise in ethnic rhinoplasty is very important.
