Would African American rhinoplasty make a big improvement in my appearance? (Photos)

Question

Would adding African American rhinoplasty to My List of Facial Surgeries Honestly Make a Big Improvement in My Appearance? I'm a 33 yr old, 5'11, 180 lbs dark-skinned West African male who already got a lower eye lift, jaw & chin implants, and buccal fat removal. In about 3 months, I'm scheduled to get Platysmoplasty, Liposuction- Submental, and FaceTite on my Cheeks/Jowls ito help improve the appearance of my face. I am considering possibly adding African-American rhinoplasty to the list but I wanted to know whether it will make a significant positive difference in my appearance, or not so much?

Hi Adonis! Absolutely, a rhinoplasty, if done well, can achieve nice improvement to match the rest of your features. In many cases, the skin is thick, so in order to achieve narrowness, the tip has to be projected as does the bridge. The nostrils as well can be moved inward (base reduction) to create narrowness. Post-procedure, I will often have my patients tape, use steroid injections to the tip to thin the skin, and maintain a low salt diet. I believe the most important aspect of rhinoplasty is to create nose which is natural and breathes well. Hope this helps you!

Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs closed African American rhinoplasty with tip refinement and alar base reduction. This allows for less scarring and less downtime as well as a more normal appearing nose in as little as a week.

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Your nose can be made thinner, which would make your face look thinner as well. You have to have realistic expectations because your skin is quite thick, but in the hands of an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, you should have a nice improvement.

You could get your nose narrowed and looking much better but you have to find the right surgeon.  You might benefit from the lipo of the neck but facetite won't do anything and the platysmaplasty also wouldn't be worthwhile
