Is it possible for a black person to have surgery that will make their nose smaller and thinner. I have a medium sized nose but I want it to be more pointed and smaller. I do not want to post my own picture for privacy reasons but I have included pictures of celebrities that have a similar nose as mine. Could I realistically get a more "European'" looking nose without the nose job looking 'fake'?

Answer: Ethnic rhino The results of a rhinoplasty on a patient of color can vary depending upon the thickness of the skin and the underlying cartilage. Accordingly multiple grafts are actually needed to make the tip appear "smaller". The noses that you have selected can certainly be refined and improved however an online consultation is inappropriate for decision making. See a BCPS with experience in African American rhinoplasty. Good luck to you. DrBurnett#realself100

Answer: White nose rhinoplasty on Black nose Hi,Great question. The answer is "depends." Depends on YOUR skin thickness. If you have EXTREMELY thick skin then its not possible but the pictures of celebs you posted none have very thick skin so a more european nose is possible on them. But there is no such thing as a white nose rhinoplasty or black nose rhinoplasty. Its just rhinoplasty and each rhinoplasty is different and unique. The end result of what you want is possible depending on your starting nose and anatomy. So it depends.
