What is the Ethnic Rhinoplasty Surgery Technique?
Ethnic Rhinoplasty, which we call reduction rhinoplasty, significantly differs from the classical nose reduction surgeries primarily performed for Caucasian races. While cartilage and bone must be removed in these races, nose augmentation and cartilage addition methods are used in African-American individuals and Asians. Most importantly, this technique helps patients improve their facial appearance without losing their unique facial features and traces of their ethnic background.
Experienced surgeons can perform Ethnic Rhinoplasty, which requires extensive experience, expertise, and knowledge of facial standards for different ethnic groups. This procedure involves more subtle surgical techniques than other rhinoplasty methods. In these operations, grafts and materials such as implants may be needed to obtain a more prominent, raised nose structure. Reliable implants with natural tissue and pores are used to get a nose suitable for the face shape and ethnicity of the patients.
Are patients with tiny and flat noses, nasal imbalance with a nose incompatible with the chin and forehead structure, wide nostrils, and low and disproportionate or excessively raised nose tips suitable for this surgery. ?As in other nose operations, ethnic Rhinoplasty cannot be performed on children who have not completed their nose development, and patients must be at least 15 years old.
As a result of ethnic rhinoplasty surgery, the patient's facial features are balanced without suppressing their ethnic origins. It can reshape the nose and promote facial appearance, and a noticeable change in silhouette can be achieved. The face becomes symmetrical, and patients' eyes, chin, cheeks, and other facial features get redefined. A better face profile will be obtained. The patient's mood and self-confidence improve. Respiratory problems, cartilage deviation, and other structural defects of the nose can also be corrected with Rhinoplasty.
