Being of Native American descent I've always had a large nose and have always desired surgery but have never seen Indian example. Also my nose is crooked after a battle from a few years ago, is there any hope for my case?

Answer: Rhinoplasty in Native Americans
Dear genericallyaccepted,
You have features similar to other ethnicities and a rhinoplasty can achieve the goals you are looking for
You should find a rhinoplasty specialist in your area who does multiple rhinoplasties a week and can get you the results you are looking for
Look for similar looking noses in before and after pictures to find the right surgeon
If you have medical insurance, a portion of the case may be covered
Best regards,

Answer: Native American Rhinoplasty (photos)
Many thousands of rhinoplasties are done annually, few of these photos end up online. The Native American nose is similar to many other ethnicities. There is wide variation among Native Americans in nasal anatomy, appearance, skin characteristics, and desired outcome. Ultimately, you are an individual and your case should be approached as such. Although your Native American heritage is considered in planning and executing your procedure, the operation must achieve the result you desire. There is no stereotypical rhinoplasty that meets the needs of all Native American patients. YES, there IS hope, you CAN have the nose you want.
