Global Rhinoplasty: A Multicultural Approach to Nasal Anatomy and Techniques

Edited by renowned facial plastic surgeons Ashkan Ghavami, Sam P. Most, and Nazim Cerkes, this groundbreaking textbook provides a unique ethnocentric guide to rhinoplasty anatomy and techniques, catering to the diverse needs of patients from various ethnic backgrounds.

The Importance of Ethnicity in Rhinoplasty

When it comes to creating a harmonious relationship between the face and nose, a facial plastic surgeon must consider each patient’s ethnicity and gender identity. Nasal anatomy varies significantly in terms of proportion, thickness, size, and resilience, with many of these differences being specific to ethnicity. Applying Caucasian rhinoplasty guidelines to Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Black, and Asian patients can lead to adverse outcomes and the need for multiple or revision surgeries.

Filling the Gap in Rhinoplasty Literature

Global Rhinoplasty: A Multicultural Approach fills a significant gap in the literature, providing in-depth coverage of non-Caucasian nasal anatomy and rhinoplasty approaches for each subtype. This comprehensive textbook includes 39 chapters, organized into five sections: Principles, Anatomical Considerations, Primary Rhinoplasty, Secondary Rhinoplasty, and Special Considerations.

In-Depth Coverage of Rhinoplasty Techniques

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, offering valuable insights and clinical pearls from globally recognized experts.
