An ethnic nose job is a surgery focused on achieving natural-looking and harmonic facial features for worldwide patients without losing their ethnic features. During ethnic plastic surgery, I always focus on giving my patients a suitable change that will both make them happy and not so different.
Ethnic nose surgery is definitely different than other types of operations in so many ways. This type of surgery requires the specific surgery experiences and care. Because, any out-of-place change, unfortunately, would make the person look different in not a very good way.
What is ethnic rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a unique rhinoplasty surgery performed for people from different geographical regions and with different ethnic appearances. Ethnic rhinoplasty aims to provide an aesthetic appearance by preserving the patient’s ethnic characteristics and natural beauty. The primary purpose of this surgery is to achieve a more aesthetic appearance compatible with one’s cultural and ethnic identity. This surgery offers treatment plans suitable for the unique facial structures and aesthetic expectations of people of all ethnic backgrounds.
In my country, it is a term used for people with an anthropoetic structure different from the ethnicity Turkish. The anatomical structures of people with different ethnic characteristics and their aesthetic needs cannot be the same. Type of ethnic rhinoplasty candidates mostly African-American rhinoplasty (Black nose job) and Asian rhinoplasty. Additionally these ethnic rhinoplasty in Turkey include some other regions wordwide like Middle Easthern , Indian, and Hispanic origin differ from Western people nose job surgeries. Depends on ethnic features anatomy and aesthetic goals are deffrently wordwide. For example, Western European noses ( Caucasion nose) usually require reduction surgery and correction of protrusions bridge of the nose (Nasel bone). On the other hand, for African-American ( Black people nose job) and some Asian nasal structures needs augmentation surgery methods such as increasing the projection and filling the depressions in the nasal bone are preferred.
The only difference between the Caucasian nose structure and other parts of the world mentioned above is not only in cartilage and nase bone height. At the same time, skin thickness and skin elasticity are not the same, so it would not be appropriate to approach all of them with the same rhinoplasty philosophy.
What is African American Rhinoplasty?
People who have African ancestors usually have a flattened and splayed nose due to their ethnic features. The main reason for this person’s flat appearance is a short projection (the distance between the nasal tip and the face). In addition, the base of the nose appears quite wide when viewed from the opposite side. In the noses of people of African origin, there is often a depression in the bridge of the nose and root (radix) area. In most of these patients, filling the nasal root and nasal dorsum with rib cartilage and increasing the projection is applied. In addition, alarplasty, which we call alarplasty, is a technique that is frequently applied to these patients. The typical feature of these patients is a thick nasal tip and nasal dorsum skin.
What is Asian rhinoplasty ?
We call the typical nose structure of people who usually originate from East and Southeast Asian countries people nose as an Asian nose. Depending on this ethnic features, they often have a broad nasal tip and shortness in the distance between the tip of the nose and the face, which we call nasal projection. However, in this group of patients, the projection is often not as flattened as black people nose. These patients can often be operated with closed rhinoplasty methods. In these patients, it is possible to achieve the intended appearance by refining the tip of the nose with cap cartilage grafts and reducing the nostrils with alar base reduction surgery. Asian noses usually have relatively thinner skin compared to patients of African origin.

In these, surgery is usually planned to reduce the height of the nasal dorsum, correct asymmetry, and reduce the nasal projection.

General information on my Ethnic Rhinoplasty Surgeries
On average, an Turkish nose surgery’s duration is around 3 hours, but of course, varies all the time depending on each patient and what needs to be done. I do all my ethnic nose job operations under general anesthesia, so you will not feel anything and after surgery, you’ll have no pain whatsoever.
My patients need to stay in the hospital one night only, and that’s the night of the surgery. The next day we discharge them and take them to their accommodation after giving them all the medicine they will use.
Patients are required to sleep on their back to avoid any trauma to the nose. After surgery, patients can shower without any problems but, you should try not to get your cast wet.
After discharge from the hospital, my team will arrange the first follow-up 2 days after surgery in my clinic. I will do the first follow-up to make sure everything is going according to plan.
Then, 5 days after surgery I will see you one more time in my clinic to remove the cast and you’ll be able to fly back home whenever you please.
