Decreasng Width of African American Nose

A goal of the African American rhinoplasty is to narrow and refine the nasal tip and nasal base. While your nose can be significantly improved it will not be as narrow as the examples provided because of your thick nasal skin. A surgeon experienced in ethnic noses will establish reasonable expectations.

Rhinoplasty for the African-American nose.

Rhinoplasty for the African-American nose involves refining the nasal tip, narrowing the nostrils and narrowing the nasal width. The tip can be more pointy but still look natural!
