Ethnic Rhinoplasty- How to make the nose smaller but natural looking
Hello
Nose is in the central part of the face and rhinoplasty should be done while keeping the ethnic ratios of the face and nose proportional.
It is important to have a surgeon that has experience creating natural results with ethnic rhinoplasty. Also, the skin needs to shrink and reshape itself while the underlying structure needs to be supported.
Hope this is helpful.

Reduction Rhinoplasty
You can reduce the size of your nose without changing the characteristics that you like. Make sure that you and your surgeon clearly establish reasonable goals before the operation so you can meet your expectations and achieve a natural result. Thee experience of your surgeon is critical.

African American Rhinoplasty
Hi,
The part of your nose I would address is your bulbous or fatty tip and the width of your nostrils. The fatty tip can be made smaller by removing the fat through an open rhinoplasty approach. Then to give your tip more structure, I would some cartilage grafts. The nostrils can be slight narrowed to reduce the width. See links below for some before and afters.
Best,
Dr.S.

Getting a proportionally smaller nose with rhinoplasty
You don't need to get a Michael Jackson level of change to make your nose smaller.
You should be sure to clearly communicate with your potential surgeon what it is you're looking for. Preoperative computer morphing should help with this discussion.
In paients with thicker skin it can be hard for it to redrape properly if too much of a reduction is made so conservative changes are key to a successful result.

Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is tailored for the individual patient. No surgeon wants his patient's nose to look like MIchael Jacksons. Most would say he looked OK after the first one, but towards the end, I suppose he had multiple revisions to make it smaller. Obviously, it did not go well and teaches people a lesson to not ask for too many revisions to search for some form of perfection because it can never be obtained. Improved yes...perfection no. Good luck.

Changing size but keeping shape
Changing size but keeping shape of the nose is possible. African noses tend to have thicker skin which does not shrink well so there is a limit to how much smaller the nose can be made. If you would be happy with a subtle reduction then you are a good candidate.

Smaller nose
Morning Antwanette,
That's very doable but you want to keep in conservative in some respects. First off, it would pay to see someone who has experience performing rhinoplasty on People of Color. For instance, for your type of nose, obviously you want someone experienced with Black people and Asian people. These two ethnic groups share several anatomic characteristics. So a couple of details:
1. Be patient, after surgery it will take a good...

Of course, yes, it is possible to diminish size and/or change the shape of your nose, producing desirable changes, and still maintaining your identity without a surgical look. No side view shown, but important in planning.
Consult with a surgeon or two experienced in rhinoplasty for a better idea of what is possible, and what to expect.

SMALLER NOSE
Yes, it definitely possible to create a smaller and more refined nose for you. You do have a pretty small face and minimizing the size of your nose would add to your beauty. It is important to do your homework and find a qualified surgeon that performs Rhinoplasties on a regular basis. I wish you well.
