Every culture has its own standards of beauty, and every ethnicity has unique features and aesthetic appeal. With the rise of cosmetic surgery around the world, plastic surgeons must pay more attention to patients’ ethnic differences — both anatomically and sociologically — to achieve the best results.
In few surgeries is this more relevant than rhinoplasty. The nose is one of the most prominent and widely varied features of the face. Many noses have a distinctive structure and shape that reflects the patient’s ethnic background. Rhinoplasty has never been a one-size-fits-all surgery, but we particularly see the importance of personalization when we consider ethnic rhinoplasty.
For a long time, plastic surgery techniques developed from the general facial characteristics and aesthetic standards of Caucasians. This narrow focus did not take into account the rich diversity of facial shapes and beauty preferences in today’s society. Thankfully, we are now seeing this change.
As a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and the president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), Dr. Maas is recognized as a leading expert in facial cosmetic surgery. He recently spoke to AEDIT’s The AEDITION about the art of ethnic rhinoplasty.
In the article, Dr. Maas discusses:
- The history of rhinoplasty
- What the term ‘ethnic rhinoplasty’ means
- How to choose the right plastic surgeon
- Common rhinoplasty requests for different ethnicities
