Board certified surgeons for african american rhinoplasty
Hello. I would recommend you search for a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in nose surgery. Once you have found a few surgeons, take a look at their before and after photo's to be sure they have photo's to show you the work they have done.

Unfortunately, you need to do some of the research yourself
You will need to see one of the Facial Plastic Surgeons or general plastic surgeons with an extensive experience in rhinoplasty in general and ethnic rhinoplasty in particular. American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery website http://www.aafprs.org will help you find a Board certified facial plastic surgeon. It is up to you to further research them to establish their experience.

American Society of Plastic Surgeons
The american society of Plastic Surgery has a list of all board certified plastic surgeons who are members of that society. All members are trained to perform rhinoplasties, however, more than any other procedure, rhinoplasty requires a surgeon who performs many of them. Ask around interview several surgeons . Good Luck!

ASPS website and word of mouth
The listing for board certified surgeon could be find at the ASPS website (American Society of Plastic Surgeons).
To find a Rhinoplasty surgeon with extensive experience in ethnic noses your best bet would be word of mouth or check this Board Certified surgeon website and check for pre and post operative pictures. Good Luck.

Board certification listings
Board certification can be found at the ASPS website. However, it will not tell you who has alot of experience with a particular condition. You have to ask around people in your community.

There are no specific lists
To my knowledge there are no specific lists containing the information you desire.
However, you may find that by going to procedure related websites, they may have chat rooms or message boards with individuals describing their experiences.
