A unique ethnocentric guide to rhinoplasty anatomy and techniques
from globally renowned experts
In order for a facial plastic surgeon to create a harmonious
relationship between the face and nose, it's paramount to consider each
patient's ethnicity and gender identity. Nasal anatomy varies widely in
terms of proportion, thickness, size, and resilience and many of these
differences are specific to ethnicity. Although rhinoplasty has been
available for many decades, applying Caucasian rhinoplasty guidelines to
Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Black, and Asian patients increases the risk
of adverse outcomes and the need for multiple or revision surgeries.
Global Rhinoplasty: A Multicultural Approach edited by world-renowned
facial plastic surgeons Ashkan Ghavami, Sam P. Most, and Nazim Cerkes
fills a gap in the literature, providing in-depth coverage of
non-Caucasian nasal anatomy and rhinoplasty approaches for each subtype.
The textbook includes 39 chapters and is organized in five sections:
Principles, Anatomical Considerations, Primary Rhinoplasty, Secondary
Rhinoplasty, and Special Considerations. Seventeen chapters cover
anatomical and surgical techniques specific to the skin and soft tissue,
dorsum, nasal tip, and nostrils for each ethnic group. Each of the 16
rhinoplasty chapters features expert commentary from the editors. The
text concludes with discussion of preservation rhinoplasty, the use of
fillers for nonsurgical and revision surgeries, evaluating psychosocial
factors in patients seeking rhinoplasty surgery, and the role of
marketing and social media in global practice. Throughout the book,
authors share firsthand insights on potential pitfalls and strategies to
prevent complications.
