Ethnic Rhinoplasty in NYC
How do i find a doctor that can do a good nose job on an ethnic nose in NYC, one that (preferably) offers computer imaging and financing as well? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :) I am looking to do this ASAP! P.S. I've attached a pic of a young lady who had a nose almost exactly like mine and as you can see she's had surgery and looks amazing, that's sorta what I'd like as well, just to give you all a better idea of what I'm looking for.

Ethnic - African American Rhinoplasty
Hi,
Best way to find a surgeon is to look at his/her before and after pics. Also talking to former patients is a good idea. Most surgeons do have computer imaging available.
I have a dedicated website for Ethnic and African American Rhinoplasty, you can click on the link below. We also offer Care Credit for financing.
Best,
Dr.S.

The ASPS website would be a good starting point for qualified surgeons. Dr. Nadia Afridi and Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda are two possibilities. Consult with 3 -4 board certified surgeons in your area to understand your options.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Procedure
What has been done here is tip refinement and sculpting, combined with alar base nostril narrowing- and likely some nasal bridge work. You need to do homework- make sure that your surgeon has enough before and after ethnic photos to instill confidence. There are particular challenges in doing rhinoplasty in individuals of African or Hispanic ethnicity, especially due to weak cartilages and thick skin- however, do your homework and you should be happy.

You may achieve tip and nostril narrowing after well-performed Rhinoplasty Surgery.
I read your concern and reviewed the photos of your friend. The best way to choose your surgeon is to start by doing some research. You should check credentials, training, certification, and number of years in practice. You would also benefit from seeing photos of other patients with similar noses. Next, you could schedule several consultations to see if you have a favorable doctor-patient relationship.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty in NYC
As others have said, any experienced rhinoplasty surgeon in a place like NYC or other major American cities does a lot of ethnic noses. I tell all perspective patients on RealSelf to go to the website of the AAFPRS to find a list of board certified surgeons in their area.

Ethnic rhinopalsty in NYC
To me everyone has an ethnic nose. The goal is to provide a better softer look that the patient is happy with. AS for computer imaging, I am not a fan and do not have one in my office. I think it gives a false sense of the final result. Good luck.

Ethnic rhinoplasty in the USA
Based on our practice in Chicago, and as demonstrated on recent US census data, ethnic is the rhinoplasty of today. In a city such as New York with such diversity, any surgeon who practices rhinoplasty should be sensitive to the diversity of facial shape and form all around us. We too like computer imaging to 'try' various changes.
Best of luck,
