Aesthetic rhinoplasty in the non-Caucasian patient is a challenging operation, even to the experienced rhinoplastic surgeon used to operating on Caucasians. Only by thoroughly understanding the anatomic differences between the Caucasian and non-Caucasian nose can the plastic surgeon effectively manipulate the various structures to obtain an aesthetically gratifying result. The major differences in the internal and external anatomy of the Caucasian versus the non-Caucasian nose are described.
