“…For example, an article entitled ‘Ethnic or Nonwhite rhinoplasty’ is not specific enough to alert readers to the patients with the unique background the authors hope to describe. Because many of the published articles aimed at addressing physical traits are categorized by race, readers may miss out on other relevant information and techniques for similar nasal anatomy on patients of other races due to this type of categorization [17 ▪▪ ,18].…”

“…As with patients of African descent, using the term Ethnic/Non-Caucasian rhinoplasty to refer to nasal surgery on this group is nonspecific and highlights the assumption that Caucasian rhinoplasty is the norm. Reviews on rhinoplasty for Mestizo patients focus on technical maneuvers aimed at dorsal augmentation, thinning of the skin soft-tissue envelope, refinement of the tip and alar base reductions [17 ▪▪ ,26]. Ethnic congruity has been highlighted as an important outcome for this population, and it is the job of the rhinoplasty surgeon to clarify the goals for each patient [12 ▪ ,17 ▪▪ ,26].…”

“…The defining characteristics of noses of patients of African descent have been well described in the rhinoplasty literature [12 ▪ ,15,17 ▪▪ ,19 ▪▪ ,20–22]. Historically, these patients have been described as Negro/Negroid , Black , African/Afro-American , and more recently, of African descent .…”

“…This table summarizes the commonly noted physical traits of patients of African descent, of Asian descent, Mestizo patients and Caucasian patients discussed in the rhinoplasty literature [9,12 ▪ ,17 ▪▪ ,19 ▪▪ ,26,30 ▪ ,32 ▪▪ ]. It is important to note that not all patients of a given race will have these physical characteristics.…”

Purpose of review To provide an overview of the use of race-based terminology in the rhinoplasty literature. Recent findings The rhinoplasty literature is often indexed by race, with common usage of the terms Ethnic/Non-Caucasian/Nonwhite; African American/of African descent; Hispanic/Latinx; and Asian to refer to certain patient populations. There are wide variations in facial features within these populations, but specific traits may be more prevalent in patients with certain backgrounds. More recently, in particular within the ‘Asian rhinoplasty’ literature, titles have pivoted to include specific anatomic characteristics of interest, which offers a more objective way of discussing this topic. Summary The use of race and ethnicity to describe facial and nasal anatomy in the rhinoplasty literature introduces subjectivity and diminishes the validity of the rhinoplasty literature. We advocate the usage of specific physical and anatomic descriptions rather than race and ethnicity within the rhinoplasty literature.
