Abstract

Introduction: The large mixture of races in Brazil gives the nose its distinctive composition, which makes rhinoplasty difficult for these patients. Every patient should have their anatomy thoroughly examined on an individual basis, as there is no unique strategy that works for all situations.<br />Methodology: This is a narrative overview of the last 10 years' worth of literature that describes the ethnic traits of each nose, with a particular emphasis on the Brazilian nose, and talks about the major surgical approaches that can be applied in these situations.<br />Results: The low dorsum, broad nasal bones, thick skin, and bulbous tip are the primary features of the Brazilian nose. Many times, lateral osteotomies, root grafting, isotretinoin treatment for skin thickness, and neodomus formation are required.<br />Conclusion: The Brazilian nose presents a surgical challenge that calls for the mastery of multiple procedures, not simply structured rhinoplasty. In certain cases, preservation rhinoplasty may even be used.<br />Level of Evidence Iv: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
