Over the last few years, ethnic rhinoplasty has been growing in popularity as more people try to attain a more beautiful appearance by refining their nasal contours to improve the harmony between the nose and other facial features. However, ethnic rhinoplasty is different from other cosmetic surgeries due to the many factors that must be considered before the process can be successfully undertaken. The special factors that must be considered vary from one person to another. For example, people with darker skins are prone to scarring and thus, the surgeon must pay close attention to the placement of incisions including the postoperative incision care.
Furthermore, people with pigmented skin are prone to after surgery skin discoloration. The skin of the dark-skinned people is also much thicker than skin for people with fair skin, which requires the surgeon to have special skills and knowledge on how to reshape the cartilage and skin for the best possible results. In order to get the best possible results, the surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your skin type, skin thickness and skin tone during the consultation. The surgeon will also evaluate other factors that can affect the results including the nasal bone and cartilage as well as the anatomy of the nose.
During the consultation, the surgeon will also ask the patient his or her treatment goals as well as how he or she would like the nose to look after the surgery. With all your specific details and treatment goals, the surgeon will then look at what is possible and what is not. The surgeon may also choose to use before and after images of other people with almost similar features and goals to clearly explain what one can expect from the surgery. The surgeon can also use the help of computer imaging to give a clear image of what is possible. An in-depth is very important in ethnic rhinoplasty as it helps to bridge the gap between expectations and what is possible.
The consultation also helps the surgeon select the best surgical techniques for the best possible results. Today, the most common types of ethnic rhinoplasty in Laguna Beach, California include the African-American rhinoplasty, Asian rhinoplasty, and Persian rhinoplasty. The African-American clients usually have thicker skin, softer cartilage, and flatter nose and regularly seek the reshaping of the nostril and the refinement of the tip. The Asian rhinoplasty patients usually seek more definition of the nose bridge and a tip increase while the Persian rhinoplasty patients usually seek the narrowing of the tip and nostrils as well as taking down a hump on the nose.
Conclusion
A successful ethnic rhinoplasty is dependent on choosing the right surgeon. The right surgeon must understand features of different skins as well as know how to create shapes and forms that are compatible with your face.
