What is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty refers to a subspecialty within rhinoplasty that aims at the beautification of the nostrils while still keeping the ethnic characteristic marks unique in every individual. This, therefore, calls for a sensitive and artistic touch since each ethnicity has its nasal anatomy and specific aesthetic features that make a person who he or she is. Dr. Tolga Çakıl is a triple board-certified ENT surgeon with extensive experience in creating custom results that respect the ethnicity of each patient while accomplishing harmony on the face. His background in ENT and anatomy of the face has prepared Dr. Tolga Çakıl to shape a refined, balanced look without compromising natural and ethnic identity.

Ideal Candidates for Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty patients are those from various ethnicities who want to undergo either aesthetic or functional rhinoplasty while still maintaining their ethnic characteristics. The goals are usually to refine a broad nasal bridge, improve nasal width, reduce a bulbous tip, or enhance the functioning of the nose. Dr. Tolga Çakıl points out the personalized way to work in concert for each to understand the particular aesthetic aims, structure of face, and cultural features of a patient. They should be of good general health and also have realistic expectations, believing in improvement rather than a complete change.

Surgical Method For Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty is performed in a respectful way to the patient’s nose and to enhance it. Dr. Tolga Çakıl performs either an open or a closed rhinoplasty technique, pending the adjustments made.

The surgical methods he uses in order to accomplish these include:

– Open rhinoplasty: Involves a small incision across the columella. It allows Dr. Tolga Çakıl full view for making definite adjustments. It is used for the more extensive reshaping.

– Closed rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving very few scars on the outside afterward. It is performed for patients who need only minor changes.

In the surgical procedure, grafts are done with cartilage taken from the septum, ear, or rib to add support, especially in defining the nasal bridge or tip, to ensure the right look with structural integrity. As a triple board-certified ENT surgeon, he gives an aesthetic and functional approach so that the nose harmonizes with the facial features of the patient and is supportive of the nostrils for breathing. Surgical time is about 2-3 hours depending on the particular needs and demands of the patient.

Recovery After Ethnic Rhinoplasty

The course of recovery after ethnic rhinoplasty is essentially the same as other kinds of rhinoplasty. In the first two weeks of time most patients are prone to experience a certain level of swelling, bruising, and discomfort that should subside with time. Dr. Tolga Çakıl gives each patient an aftercare plan to enable him/her to recover optimally. Although the nose will still look swollen for several weeks, most patients are able to resume their daily activities within 1–2 weeks. Full results take several months once swelling is reduced and the final, refined shape can be appreciated that fits well within the context of the patient’s other natural features.

Longevity & Benefits of Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Results for ethnic rhinoplasty are commonly long-lasting; patients have a more refined and natural nose that can harmoniously match their special facial features. Among the advantages of ethnic rhinoplasty with Dr. Tolga Çakıl are the following:
