Increased width, loss of definition, and lack of projection characterize the stereotypical African-American nose. Early rhinoplasty surgeons attempted strict adherence to neoclassical aesthetic ideals. However, in reality, the anatomy and aesthetic desires of these patients are much more complex. Building dorsal height, achieving nasal tip definition amidst thick skin, and producing a more aesthetically pleasing alar base are the major challenges. Surgical planning should be sensitive to both individual and cultural differences in aesthetic perception and expectations. Here we describe the techniques used by the senior author (R.W.H.K.).
典型的非裔美国人鼻子的特征是鼻宽增加、轮廓不清和鼻背低平。早期的隆鼻外科医生试图严格遵循新古典主义美学理念。然而，实际上，这些患者的解剖结构和审美需求要复杂得多。增加鼻背高度、在厚皮肤中实现鼻尖轮廓清晰以及打造更美观的鼻翼基底是主要挑战。手术规划应考虑到审美观念和期望方面的个体及文化差异。在此，我们描述资深作者（R.W.H.K.）所使用的技术。
