AFRICAN-AMERICAN RHINOPLASTY (NOSE JOB)

  Patients with flat nose with thick skin structure may have requests which can be different from the caucasian rhinoplasty approach. Obviously, the results of the surgery cannot be expected to be standard because every individual has different the nose and skeletal structure.In general, patient requests are evaluated areally.  

• Nasal Bridge: It is one of the areas which our patients complain the most.In some patients, this area is quite depressed and flat.The large nose is also accompanied by this.In this case, the nasal bones that occupy a large space on the face are refined with incisions on both sides.Depending on the condition, the nasal bridge is raised by providing support with cartilage tissue on the nose.Raising the nasal bridge causes a more caucasian appearance in our patients as their personal perception.  This should be discussed with patients before surgery. Although raising the nose bridge in harmony with the nose tip makes patients satisfied ,some of our patients may not desire to have this completely.   


• The Nose Tip:  Most of our patients have a geneticially non-definite and depressed nose without prominence on the edge.This depressed and non-apparent appearance are resulted from the cartilage anatomy and thick skin. During the surgery, gathering this cartilages by strengthening and supporting by cartilage placed at the tip of the nose is the intervention need to be done to change this view. Some of our patients have short and inadequate columella. Therefore, by supporting the columella and elonged the septum on the nose, provides a higher appearance but proportional.  


• Alas of the Nose:  Alas of the nose are generally wide.The wide alas accompanied by the wide nostrils. The new and narrowed nose bridge and tip is achived by narrowing the alas of the nose and nostrils with incision made according to inclination of the alas.
