Hello, I'm looking for a good rhinoplasty surgeon who has great results with ethnic (black) patients. However, the majority if not 99% of the before and after pictures are not a dramatic enough change for my taste. I would like to find a surgeon who gives an extreme approach. It seems that I've only seen these types of drastic changes associated with Black celebrity noses. Is it possible that the reasons these particular celebrity noses look this good is due to possible revisions over the years?

Answer: Black celebrity rhinoplasty Good question, thank you for bringing this up. We have to remember that what "good" is, looks different for every person. Some patients may want a very drastic change and want a very tiny sharp nose. However, many black patients want more definition in their nose, but do not want a tiny "barbie nose." For patients who want a subtle change, I take pride in performing a rhinoplasty that gives improvement but still blends with their face and looks natural. For many people, they want an change but they don't want to lose their ethnic identity. So keep in mind that many of the photos you see might be exactly what the patient asked for. I see many patients who want a natural appearance, but that doesn't mean I can't do a more extreme look if the patient wants! Meet with a surgeon and look at their pictures, get a feel for what they can do for you. Best of luck Dr Rodman

Answer: Ethnic Rhinoplasty Hey, that's a great question. There are plenty of great plastic surgeons who get good results in "ethnic" rhinoplasty, and lucky for you I can think of a couple in your area. Look for a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who does a lot of rhinoplasty. Good luck!
