Hello, I am a black women seeking Rhinoplasty. I would like to have my nostrils reduced, a defined bridge and a tip, if cartilage will be used I prefer my own tissue. I presume a may have to travel ( I am located in Alberta, Canada). If there are any specialists on board who can accommodate distant consultations, and has adequate experience working with ethnic patients please respond. I have attached before and after photos of desired results I would like achieve. Thank you
Answer: Rhinoplasty, some advices: Thank you very much for the questions.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, After having analyzed all the info. and photos provided to us, i recommend you perform an Open Full Rhinoplasty, includding narrowing of the nasal base and nostrils, with nasal bones treatment (controled fracture) and alar + triangular nasal cartilages re-shaping.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Answer: African American Rhinoplasty
Hello, and great to hear you are doing your research prior to having any surgery performed. All of the things you mentioned are possible with rhinoplasty, and your surgery can yield a great result when performed properly. Your own natural cartilage and tissue are ideal for use during rhinoplasty as compared to artificial materials. When looking for a surgeon, consider the following:
1) Credentials
2) Board certification
3) Fellowship training
4) A good amount of before and after photos showcasing the surgeon's result
5) Great patient testimonials
Traveling frequently takes place when undergoing rhinoplasty, as the ideal surgeon for you is sometimes in another area. When seeking the advice of an ethnic rhinoplasty specialist, examine his or her website for information on distance consults and local hotel accommodations. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck

Answer: African american Rhinoplasty
Many of our African Canadian patients request narrowing and refinement of there nose. The greatest challenge in these patients is the thickness of the skin. Thick skin camouflages the changes made to the underlying nasal framework. It is important that you compare your nose to someone who also has thick skin to give your self a realistic expectation of what's possible. Thick Skin is like a ski glove. No matter how small the hand inside, the glove always looks big.

Answer: African American Rhinoplasty. Nostril Reduction, Bridge and Tip Definition?
Your tip can be refined. The hump can be reduced, and the bridge, narrowed. The nostrils and alar base can be reduced as well if you would like. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.
