Rhinoplasty in Egyptians.
The diversity of ancestry of the present-day Egyptian people has resulted in a mix of physical features, especially with regard to the nose. Both Caucasian and non-Caucasian characteristics are present, sometimes in the same individual. In performing rhinoplasty, particularly in the non-Caucasian nose, either of two procedures may be used, depending on the height and breadth of the bridge of the nose, both with successful consequences.
