I have suffered many years of pain and hurt from constantly being teased and etc because of my big nose. I am trying to be on a payment plan to get rhinoplasty surgery done.

Answer: For an African American rhinoplasty parts of the nose can be made smaller, other areas can be more defined The skin on the tip of the nose in African American patients is often thick. The tip can be made to look smaller by actually adding cartilage grafts from elsewhere in your nose to make the tip more defined. As a result it appears smaller. If your nostrils flare more than you would like, they can certainly be made smaller.

Answer: A Reduction rhinoplasty is in your future. Hello Praying mother. I understand your anguish and people can be very cruel. With regards to your nose it CAN be made smaller. It depends upon your goals. You have a bulbous, ill defined tip, thick skin, a broad alar base and nostril flaring. All of the issues may be addressed to improve your nasal aesthetics. Consult with a BCPS to review your options. Good luck in your quest to attain an ethnically balanced nose. Dr. Burnett
