ABSTRACT:

Background

The predominant character in the Middle Eastern noses is the thick skin, weak cartilages, amorphous bulbous nasal tip, and high incidence of postoperative supra-tip swelling, compared with the Caucasian noses. The purpose of this study was to describe some anatomical findings and find techniques to improve outcomes in these patients.

Methods

Results

The results have shown that in these 624 patients, 365 patients had excellent results, 223 patients had average results, while 36 patients had poor results.
