RHINOPLASTY
Nose job —or medically known as rhinoplasty—is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery treatments intended to change the shape of a person’s nose to achieve facial harmony and boost confidence.
It can change the size of the nose as well as its width and profile. Plastic surgeons may alter the nose tip, shape of the nostrils and balance of the nose—based on your aesthetic goals and unique condition.
Nose surgery can also be performed as a reconstructive procedure, which is designed to correct a birth defect or an injury as a broken nose. Many patients seek nose surgery not only for cosmetic reasons—the treatment can also be carried out to effectively treat certain breathing problems caused by a deviated septum.
Rhinoplasty is an ideal cosmetic procedure for accomplishing the following:
- Restore facial harmony and balance the nose’s size with other facial features
- Reduce the size of the nose
- Contour a nasal tip
- Reshape or narrow the nostrils that are too wide for the face
- Correct breathing problems
- Restore symmetry or correct nasal deviation
BLACK NOSE JOB
Black nose job has become a commonly performed ethnic plastic surgery procedure for patients looking to preserve their unique ethnic features while undergoing a cosmetic surgery or a correction of health-related conditions such as a deviated septum. Black nose surgery is one of the ethnic nose job treatments designed to create a more refined version of the nose structure and facial appearance–while maintaining the nuances of your culture. Many African American patients find the widened frontal view is the most bothersome issue, especially at the tip and nasal base.
ASIAN RHINOPLASTY
Ethnic plastic surgery treatments have been steadily increasing over the past few years, with many patients looking for customized cosmetic surgery treatments to enhance their unique features and complement their own ethnic beauty.
People of diverse ethnicities often have different facial features and different nasal structures. The diversity of people’s nasal structures means that there’s no one-size-fits-all technique to nose job surgery.
When performing a nose job on an Asian patient, for example, the plastic surgeon takes into account the unique shape of the nose as well as the different aesthetic goals the patient may have.
Asian ethnic Rhinoplasty is intrinsically different from the standard rhinoplasty. The standard nose surgery in the Caucasian patient usually involves removing bone and trimming the nasal cartilage.
In the Asian patient, however, the bridge of the nose usually requires to be built up or augmented—and the base of the nose and nostrils often need to be narrowed. Even among Asian nose surgery patients, many of them have various goals and aesthetic needs.
Southeast Asian nose surgery patients can benefit from the augmentation of the bridge and length; whereas East Asians often seek less augmentation or even none at all.
The desire for nostril reduction is also more common in Southeast Asians than those from the Northeast. Asian nose surgery in Istanbul can be more challenging due to the unique features of Asian patients, as the Asian nose cartilage is often more fragile and the overlaying skin is thicker.
