An individual can opt for a full rhinoplasty. The procedure is equally cosmetic and functional; it offers a change, more confidence, and a better self-esteem for both men and women who crave for better facial features. This procedure entails the entire nose rather than the tip alone.
2. Ethnic Rhinoplasty
This is a cosmetic procedure that is implemented to modify an individual nose appearance in line with a particular ethnic background, like an Asian or African American rhinoplasty (African American nose job). This sort of nasal surgical procedure is considerably dissimilar to the commonly acknowledged traditional rhinoplasty that comprises nose reduction (removing bone and cartilage), usually amongst Caucasian people. Ethnic rhinoplasty has to do with the augmentation of the nose (inserting cartilage and structure) for people who desire to modify a flattened nose, widen nostrils, or other ethnic features.

How is rhinoplasty performed?

There is two major techniques of nose job surgery:
- Open rhinoplasty: the plastic doctor makes small and irregular incision to the columella. This is the fleshy end of the nasal septum
- Closed rhinoplasty: the surgeon performs each incision within the nose, where no cut is made;
Sometimes, certain bones may need to be altered in order to make your nose look narrower and straighter.
If your nose needs to be augmented, there are many ways by which your surgeon can augment your nasal bone or cartilage; this depends on the amount that needs to be added, the nose configuration, and materials present. For minor modifications, the surgical doctor possibly will use cartilage collected from deep section inside the nose or ear. For biger supplies, the doctor may collect cartilage from rib, implants or bone from other body parts.
If a patient requires a minor quantity of extra cartilage, the surgeon may take out some from the ear or deep inside the nose. If it requires additional cartilage, an implant or a bone graft will be implemented. Extra bone added to the nose bone may be collected from rib, implants or bone from other body parts.
The procedure generally lasts one to two hours and may take longer for complex cases.
Scars related to rhinoplasty
Scarring is a regular course in which the body rebuilds the skin or tissue disjointedness. Although it can be worrisome, it is not a complicated case. As rhinoplasty is an invasive procedure, it will possibly result in few post-surgical scar tissues. Though, as the incision is usually minor, the scarring is typically very minimal and exists in discrete regions. Since the incision in open rhinoplasty is done on the outer surface, the scar should be noticeable to someone on close by check for several months after the surgery, but, it is barely visible one-year after the surgery. The closed rhinoplasty incision is generally more desired since the opening is done inside so the scar is not easily noticeable. The mucous membranes situated inside the nose will likely recover very well not showing outstretched or shadowy scarring.
