Is there a difference between a non-Caucasian Rhinopasty and a Caucasian Rhinopasty, and is Dr. Solomon experienced in both?

When it comes to Rhinoplasty surgery, there are distinct physical differences between a non-caucasian nose and a Caucasian nose. Non-caucasian patients for example, may seek to build up their nasal bridge, strengthen their nasal tip and narrow the nasal base. Caucasian patients on the other hand are often looking to reduce the length of their nasal bridge, lift the nasal tip and eliminate a dorsal hump.
Does the type of skin affect the outcome of a Rhinplasty surgery?

Yes, the type of skin you have does play a significant role in Rhinoplasty surgery. Thin skin is considered more pliable therefore changes to the cartilage of the nose are more easily attained. On the otherhand, imperfections may be more visible. Thick skin can be more challenging to obtain visible, dramatic results. The thickness of the skin may conceal some of the changes that have been made to the structure of the nose beneath the skin. An experienced Facial Plastic Surgeon who has a wealth of experience with both skin types will be able to individualize your surgical plan to suit your needs to obtain optimal results.
What medications or supplements should I stop taking prior to surgery?

Prior to surgery we recommend our patients stop taking any medication or supplements that could inhibit their healing process. Aspirin, Ibuprofen, some multivitamins and supplements that thin the blood should be discontinued 2 weeks prior to surgery. We also recommend abstaining from alcohol 2 weeks prior to surgery.
Are there any medications or supplements that are recommended to take prior to surgery?

We do recommend our patients take up to 2000 mg of Vitamin C orally, 2 weeks prior to surgery in addition to Arnica, a Homeopathic supplement, both of which can help with the reduction of bruising and swelling following surgery.
