Different Technique Used for Ethnic Rhinoplasty

September 7, 2007
Those of different ethnic backgrounds most often seek rhinoplasty, which is one of the top five procedures performed on patients in the U.S.

Surgeons are now finding different techniques that can help maintain the other features of these patient's faces while altering only their noses.

Surgeons Stress Face Balance

According to plastic surgeons, the nose should match up with the rest of the patient's face.

Since most ethnic groups have particular features, both on the outside and inside, of their noses, surgeons claim that it's important to treat each ethnic group completely different, and use techniques that cater to their individual needs.

“Cookie Cutter approaches for rhinoplasty rarely work well, and this is especially true with non-caucasion nose surgery,” explains a surgeon at a Beverly Hills plastic surgery facility.
