Non Caucasian Ethnic Rhinoplasty...what is unique? 

Noses come in different shapes and sizes......that is what makes nasal surgery one of the most challenging cosmetic surgery performed by plastic surgeons.  Your nose is a unique aesthetic feature of your face. It defines your ethnicity and individuality. You don't want a cook-book approach to your nose.  Dr. Boahene has a recognized expertise and interest in rhinoplasty of the non-Caucasian nose - African, African American, Hispanic, Caribbean and Middle Eastern. Conscious of scarring and non-Caucasian variations, Dr. Boahene employs techniques and approaches to non-Caucasian rhinoplasty that results in an enhanced facial balance without loosing the characteristic ethnicity.
