    In order to gain entry to the cartilage and bones in the nose, there are two ways to go about it. Firstly, one can opt for the closed surgery, wherein there is no open incision to be made on the nose. This method is useful in avoiding external scars. Alternatively, there is the open surgery, where a small cut or incision is made between the tip of the nose and the upper lip. The resultant scar formed is almost unnoticeable and fades into obscurity relatively quickly, as early as the post operation period.

    In Caucasians, the rhinoplasty process usually comprises the reduction or resection of the characteristic bulge on the nose. By removing this bony hump, rhinoplasty reduces the prominence of the nose and realigns it with the rest of the face, consequently improving the balance and looks of the patient's face, especially in the oblique or side views.

    In terms of African-American rhinoplasty, there is more of a challenge involved, since the plethora of nasal types lead to a bit of confusion. Putting things in pattern, however, most patients desire a narrower nose with a distinguished tip and a narrow bridge. Nostrils can also be narrowed during the treatment. Taking into account the thickness of skin and the smaller cartilage in the African-American nose, it is only necessary that the rhinoplasty entails the use of various kinds of grafts to provide strength and definition to the nose. Better known as augmentation rhinoplasty, these grafts are done to the tip, bridge and base of the nose.

    Coming to Asian noses, one can notice that they are somewhat flatter and wider than the Caucasian type. So, the usual treatment is to increase their projection through the insertion of implants. This is done by placing implants on the bridge and not touching the tip to maintain natural looks. Like their African counterparts, Asians too request for narrower nostrils, risking temporary scarring in the process. Patients feeling dissatisfied with the width of their nose and desiring a narrower projection can have the bones broken and restructured to offer a slender appeal. This is done while the patient is sedated, just in case anyone's apprehensive. Simultaneously, the desired nasal projection can also be achieved without using silicone implants. If the patient so desires, the tip of the nose may also be increased.

    Basically, different races possess varied nose patterns and the process of rhinoplasty entails differing measures for each. The needs and desires of the Caucasian patient will generally differ from those of the Asian. This is why has acquired a more ethnic, subjective trait that is characterised geographically as much as it is done scientifically. Hence, the term ethnic rhinoplasty, a tailored-to-fit practice that places the requirements of the patient above all else.
