Am I a good candidate for African American Rhinoplasty? Wanting a smaller nose (Photos)

Question

Interested in getting a Rhinoplasty. Wanting a smaller nose and nostrils and a defined bridge tip lifted

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

The best way to determine what specific changes will look good on your face, and what changes are surgically possible, is to do your research to find the top rhinoplasty specialists and consult with several of them in person. During your consultation, your photos can be computer-morphed to show how the changes to your nose will affect your appearance. Narrowing the base of your nostrils and softening the tip of your nose by making it more defined will give your nose a more balanced and attractive appearance. Good luck! @drdonyoo

African American Rhinoplasty is about refining your nose but still maintaining a natural ethnic look. Rhinioplasty can do all of the things your desire: narrow and raise your tip, create a more defined bridge and also gently narrow your nostrils. You should see an expert in ethnic rhinoplasty who has good before and afters for a consultation.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish refinement of your nasal tip, lifting the droopy tip, and refining the bridge line with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. An alar plasty is performed to narrow wide nostrils. Also important to release the depressor septi ligament which dynamically pulls the tip downwards when smiling. Choose your surgeon wisely based on extensive experience, since  rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult procedures to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery
