The nose is one of the most prominent organs that plays an important role in facial aesthetics and determines a person’s overall appearance. Individuals from different ethnic backgrounds may have genetically diverse nasal structures. Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized nose aesthetic procedure that provides aesthetic and functional improvements suitable for one’s cultural identity while preserving the natural facial features of the individual.
Ethnic-African rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure preferred especially by individuals of African, Caribbean, and African-American descent to refine wider nasal structures and prominent nostrils for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. With its advanced medical infrastructure and experienced surgeons, Turkey has become one of the most preferred countries for ethnic rhinoplasty surgeries.
What is Ethnic-African Rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a procedure that aims to improve the nasal structure while preserving the individual’s ethnic characteristics, unlike traditional nose aesthetic surgeries. The nasal structure of individuals of African descent typically includes the following features:
- Wider nasal wings and nostrils
- A flatter and broader nasal bridge
- Thicker nasal skin
- More prominent soft tissue at the nasal tip
This surgery is performed using special techniques to make the nasal structure more balanced and aesthetically pleasing while preserving the person’s natural ethnic identity.
How is Ethnic Rhinoplasty Performed?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a personalized operation. Some of the basic techniques used in this surgery include:
- Reducing Nostril Size: Excess tissue is removed and the nasal wings are narrowed to reduce nostril width.
- Shaping the Nasal Bridge: The flat nasal bridge is enhanced for a more elevated and aesthetic form.
- Nasal Tip Revision: The nasal tip is refined and lifted to become more defined.
- Use of Cartilage Grafts: Cartilage grafts taken from the ear or rib may be used to support the nasal structure.
The surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 2–3 hours.
