Abstract

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common facial plastic surgeries in the world. Civilizations of all ethnic groups have always had an interest in facial beauty over time.n At present the pure races are less frequent and therefore, facial plastic surgeons around the world we face groups of different cultural and ethnic groups who want to improve their appearance. Ethnic rhinoplasty is often considered a procedure to reshape the nose of a black or Asian patient, few rhinoplasty has been described in mestizo or Hispanic patients. The mestizo race is a combination of Caucasians, descendants of Africans and local Indian tribes. The proportion of each one depends on the area where the patient comes from. There has been a large increase in the Hispanic population of the United States and Europe. This has made facial plastic surgeons see a concomitant increase in requests for rhinoplasty among this population. The goal of rhinoplasty is to correct the nose to have an appearance consistent with your race after the surgery- It would not be pleasant or harmonious for a Caucsian person with a thick nose and large nostrils, or a person with the face of people with a very thin nose and high back. Below, we show some cases of Hispanic nose and the result of rhinoplasty according to the physical characteristics of each patient.Each patient must be handled individually.
