Surgeons in NY that specialize in thick skin/ethnic rhinoplasty?

In general, ethnic rhinoplasty differs from Caucasian rhinoplasty in several ways - Ethnic noses may appear broad and flat with thick skin, and soft tip cartilage, where Caucasian noses may have a narrower appearance with high bridges, and projected nasal tips. Ethnic rhinoplasty goals may be to provide a narrower nasal appearance, and to provide height to the bridge when necessary. Consider starting your research here on RealSelf so you could see photos, credentials, and real patient reviews. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Ethnic rhinoplasty surgery invites three surgical challenges - thicker skin, a shorter septum, or a small bridge size. RealSelf is a good place to look for qualified surgeons. Check the doctor's before and after gallery to see their results with patients of different ethnic backgrounds before scheduling your in-person consultation. Learn what questions to ask your doctor at the consultation.

What you want done is completely up to you.Rhinoplasty which typically starts at $5,500 depending on the area you live. To make sure you get the best possible result, the surgeon should perform a detailed exam of the nose and provide a realistic goal that you and your surgeon agree upon. Rhinoplasty are permanent, but with age facial features do change. Find a surgeon and go for a consult. Maybe try and see if the Dr can do photo imaging to show you what he or she can achieve.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  There are many techniques which can be used for thick skin in ethnic rhinoplasty, including cartilage reshaping, grafting, and soft tissue debulking.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

 Every busy rhinoplasty surgeon has dealt with different types of noses from many different ethnic backgrounds. Study your prospective surgeon's before and after photo gallery  which should be extensive and reflective of their work.

New  York is a town of ethnicities. Most of us have experience with noses of all sorts of patients, thin as well as thick skin. Speak to the doctor about your issues. 

Hi,Most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons will have operated on patients with various skin types and on ethnically diverse patient populations. Knowledge of anatomy and advanced techniques using cartilage grafts will help when operating on thick skinned individuals. There is no substitute for a consultation where you can be fully examined and you and your surgeon can discuss your aesthetic goals. Best,Mehdi Sina, MD

Hi Saiya,
Ethnic Rhinoplasty is by far the most challenging cosmetic operation in cosmetic surgery. This because the anatomy and skin thickness requires special techniques to achieve desired results. You are a great candidate for Ethnic Rhinoplasty. You can make your nose more harmonious and still preserve your ethnicity. Based on the photos you provided, you seem to have a bulbous wide tip, and wide nasal bridge. The bulbous tip needs to be reshaped, grafts may need to be used for the tip as well as the bridge of your nose. The bridge of your nose will have to be reconstructed, the nostrils narrowed. You are off to a great start as you know what you want to change about your nose. This surgery can be customized to each individual based on desired results. Do your research online and try to choose a surgeon that can deliver results that you seek. Surgeons before and afters will help you with that. Choosing the right surgeon who has experience is imperative; you want to avoid any revision in the future. 
Best,
Dr.S.
