In the realm of facial plastic surgery, achieving a harmonious balance between the face and nose is of paramount importance, and this requires a nuanced understanding of ethnocentric factors. Nasal anatomy exhibits significant variations across different ethnic groups, encompassing proportions, thickness, size, and resilience. These distinctions are unique to each ethnicity, making it crucial for facial plastic surgeons to tailor their approach to each patient's ethnicity and gender identity. While rhinoplasty has been a widely practiced procedure for decades, applying Caucasian rhinoplasty guidelines to patients of Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Black, and Asian descent can lead to adverse outcomes and the necessity for multiple or revision surgeries. To address this gap in the literature, Global Rhinoplasty: A Multicultural Approach, edited by esteemed facial plastic surgeons Ashkan Ghavami, Sam P. Most, and Nazim Cerkes, comes to the forefront. This comprehensive textbook offers in-depth coverage of non-Caucasian nasal anatomy and rhinoplasty techniques tailored to each subtype. Comprising 39 chapters, the book is organized into five sections: Principles, Anatomical Considerations, Primary Rhinoplasty, Secondary Rhinoplasty, and Special Considerations. Seventeen chapters focus on anatomical and surgical techniques specific to the skin and soft tissue, dorsum, nasal tip, and nostrils for each ethnic group. Each of the 16 rhinoplasty chapters features expert commentary from the editors, providing valuable insights and clinical pearls. The text concludes with discussions on preservation rhinoplasty, the use of fillers for nonsurgical and revision surgeries, evaluating psychosocial factors in patients seeking rhinoplasty, and the role of marketing and social media in global practice. Throughout the book, the authors share firsthand experiences and strategies to mitigate potential complications.

Contributions and clinical pearls from a diverse range of global experts make this textbook a valuable resource for facial plastic surgeons seeking to excel in the field of rhinoplasty. By embracing a multicultural approach, surgeons can deliver optimal results that respect and celebrate the unique characteristics of their patients, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
