African american nose

Patients must be realistic with their rhinoplasty goals. The model pics are NOT realistic for this nose. That said, there can still be a nice improvement to this nose with alarplasty, tip techniques and lower osteotomies

Nasal base narrowing can change the tip

Some narrowing of the nose can be achieved with incisions around the base of the nose to make it narrower. These must be done carefully to prevent scarring or excessive nostril narrowing. It is important to have a realistic goal for surgery. It is crucial that the patient realize what can be achieved by surgery. It is also important to make sure the patient maintains their ethnicity, with a natural more aesthetic nose.

I don't want my new nose to look like an African American nose what so ever but I do want it to fit my face.
