Hi everyone I would like have surgery that would make my nose smaller, more narrow and straight. If I need an implant could I use tissue from my body? Should I have open or closed surgery? I don't like the way my nose spreads when I smile.

Answer: Rhinoplasty without implant Dear 12daisiesyou are a good candidate for a natural looking result with your rhinoplasty. What is important is that you discuss what you mean by natural with your surgeon and he/she understands what your perception of natural looking is. You also need to discuss what you want for your bridge, tip and base width ... In term of rhinoplasty approach, both open and closed can give you a great result. If you wanted the base of your nose narrowed, a closed approach would be a safer method. Looking at your pictures, I dont see any need for an open approach. Your septal and ear cartilage are likely to be enough for a narrower and better defined bridge (dorsal augmentation).

Answer: Natural African American rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes the nose to improve its appearance and function while preserving the patient's ethnic features. It's also known as an ethnic rhinoplasty, a term used by many plastic surgeons to describe nose surgeries for non-European patients. The goal of African American rhinoplasty is to achieve a natural-looking result that complements the patient's other facial features. It can address a variety of concerns, such as:A wide nasal bridgeFlared nostrilsA deviated septumThe size, shape, or function of the nose The type of technique used depends on the patient's goals and specific characteristics. Some common techniques include:Alarplasty: Narrows the nostrils by removing soft tissueDorsum surgery: Narrows the cartilage and bone that runs down the nasal bridgeTip rhinoplasty: Reshapes, refines, or lifts the nasal tip Patients who are good candidates for African American rhinoplasty are usually in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations.
