As the United States continues to be more ethnically and racially diverse, it is important for the rhinoplasty surgeon to have an appreciation and understanding of nasal variations that exist to plan for and execute ethnically congruent results. The nasal analysis is a critical component of the patient evaluation, which has been used as a tool by surgeons to identify deviations from anatomical norms or canons. In this article, the authors describe common nasal anatomical variations that exist between ethnic groups as a guide for nasal analysis. Understanding these variations will facilitate and help define important cultural aesthetics, which can be used to plan for rhinoplasties in a diverse patient population.
随着美国在种族和民族方面变得更加多样化，对于隆鼻手术医生来说，了解和欣赏不同种族之间存在的鼻部差异非常重要，这有助于他们规划并实现与种族特征相符的手术效果。鼻部分析是患者评估的关键组成部分，一直以来都被外科医生用作识别解剖学标准或规范偏差的工具。本文作者描述了不同种族之间常见的鼻部解剖差异，旨在为鼻部分析提供指导。了解这些差异将有助于确定重要的文化审美标准，从而为不同种族的患者规划隆鼻手术。
