I have been to three consultations so far. I have been to West Orange, Summit and Warren, NJ. I must say I fell in love with Dr. Joseph. He made me feel real comfortable and he understands the look I want. I just want to have a feminine nose. My nose has always been my biggest insecurity. I feel like when people look at me they only see my nose. My nose is just way too big for my face. I am only 4'11, and weigh 120. I hate taking pictures because when I smile my nose gets bigger and that is all I can see. I have the money to get the procedure. I just have to schedule it. I decided to go with Dr. Eric Joseph in West Orange, NJ. Even though he is the most expensive out of the other two but he has way more experience when dealing with African American Rhinoplasty.

Thank you for starting your story. It looks like you have a good nose to start with (looks nice and straight), so I hope this refinement makes you super happy! Make sure your doctor has done a lot of African American noses.

Please keep us posted!

Hi thank you for your comment. It is really the tip of my nose that bothers me. It's just too big and there is not enough space between my lips and my nose.

You are so beautiful! Although your nose isn't very big, I can understand the insecurity. I feel like I was born with a nose much too long for my face. Best of luck on your journey!

Just a quick update. I scheduled my surgery for 12/29/2014. I am extremely nervous. I can not believe I am actually going to do this. I choose Dr. Joseph.

Have you check out Dr Oleh Slupchynskyj? He has an office in NY and NJ. Based on his photo gallery, he seems to have mastered the art of African Rhinoplasty. I even saw a positive video review from one of his African American patient. You might want to check him out on Realself...

i love this doctor's gallery of results, some of the most attractive noses I've seen! I'm considering him too, so happy to see a patient of his. Good luck, thanks for sharing, and please update us!

Hi there, I just had rhinoplasty with Dr. Joseph yesterday! I was very nervous as well yet super excited. The surgery went very smoothly and the recovery process has not been bad, I have zero pain! Its funny, I think the most "painful" part of this whole process was getting the bloodwork done for the pre op testing, (partly because I hate needles!) Best of luck to you on the 29th, you're in great hands with Dr. J! :)
