�??Middle Eastern�?� often refers to individuals of Arabic, Turkish, North African and Persian descent. Rhinoplasty on �??Middle Eastern nose�?� possesses an added challenge for the surgeon, owing to certain anatomical characteristics that make Middle Eastern rhinoplasty difficult. Patients may present with a heavy thick skin envelope, bulbous tip, weak alar cartilages with limited support, nostril-tip imbalance and a droopy ill-defined nasal tip. The operative plan must take into account this vast majority of Middle Eastern nasal inherited features. Independent of the surgeon�??s technical approach, understanding the concerns, goals and motivations for such patients who tend to be �??perfectionists�?� together with preservation of the patient�??s ethnic identity will make nasal surgery successful.
