Randolph Capone, MD

An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon will be adept at treating patients with various ethnicities (African American, Asian, Persian, Italian, etc.) so you need to identify the best rhinoplasty surgeons in your area and select one. 

Make sure you look at his/her ethnic rhinoplasty photos and see changes you like. You must fully communicate your wishes to your surgeon and ensure that he/she feels confident about being able to make appropriate changes for you. You should mandate that the work look natural and not leave you with a drastically altered nose.  After all, you don't want to change your ethnicity, just refine your nose!

The surgeon should be able to "morph" your photos to give you a surgical preview of what your nose might look like after rhinoplasty. These computer altered photos by no means represent a guaranteed outcome, but can give you a ballpark idea that your surgeon understands what bothers you about your nose. 

And remember, a second consult with a different surgeon is never a bad idea and you'll be glad you did your homework!
