RHINOPLASTY FOR
AFRICAN-AMERICAN
PATIENTS
In a
ground-breaking
study involving
75 African
American
patients, Dr.
Slupchynskyj
statistically
proves a unique
three- tiered
surgical
approach in
rhinoplasty
results in an
excellent degree
of preservation
of ethnic
characteristics,
very high
patient
satisfaction
postoperatively
and consistently
increases
self-esteem.
The nose is the
central feature
of the face;
therefore it can
easily enhance
or detract from
one's overall
facial
aesthetics.
In its 2005
survey, the
American Academy
of Facial
Plastic and
Reconstructive
Surgery found
that rhinoplasty
was the most
common cosmetic
procedure in the
African American
population
averaging at
65%.
"Rhinoplasty, a
procedure that
was sometimes
used in an
attempt to make
an African
American nose
look more
Caucasian, has
evolved a great
deal as societal
understanding of
ethnic beauty
and surgical
techniques for
ethnic features
have improved",
Dr. Slupchynskyj
reports.
"A surgeon
performing
African American
rhinoplasty
should be aware
of, and be able
to distinguish,
the various
standards of
beauty present
in different
ethnic groups,
only then s/he
can work to
enhance ethnic
features, as
opposed to
changing them to
fit
inappropriate
standards of
beauty"
continues Dr.
Slupchynskyj.
In this study,
all 75 African
American
patients sought:
1) nasal dorsal
augmentation for
inadequate nasal
dorsal height;
2) elevation of
a low or
depressed
nasal-frontal
angle; 3)
refinement of a
poorly defined,
rounded or
bulbous nasal
tip; 4)
reduction of
nasal width both
horizontally and
vertically.
To address these
common issues
the three-tiered
approach to
African American
rhinoplasty was
used in all 75,
and Dr.
Slupchynskyj
found it to be a
technique that
yields great
patient
satisfaction,
allows for
maintenance of
ethnic features,
and yields a
minimal rate of
complications.
"According to
the results of
our study, the
majority of
patients
indicated a low,
if any, change
in ethnic
characteristics"
said Dr.
Slupchynskyj.
Concurrently,
when addressing
patient
satisfaction
with the result
of this
technique, an
overwhelming
number of
patients
indicated
average or above
average
satisfaction
with their
result.
