As the United States becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, the number of non-Caucasian patients seeking rhinoplasty is increasing. The non-Caucasian, or ethnic, rhinoplasty patient can be a surgical challenge due to the significant anatomic variability from the standard European nose as well as variability within each ethnicity. Becoming familiar with the common anatomic differences as well as the aesthetic goals in the ethnic rhinoplasty patient will assist the surgeon in attaining consistent, ethnically congruent, and aesthetically pleasing results.
随着美国变得更加多样化，寻求鼻整形术的非白种人患者数量正在增加。非白种人或少数民族的鼻整形患者可能是一个手术挑战，因为他们的解剖结构与标准的欧洲鼻子有很大的差异，而且每个种族内部也存在差异。熟悉常见的解剖差异以及少数民族鼻整形患者的审美目标，将有助于外科医生获得一致、符合种族特征和审美令人满意的结果。
