I want to have a smaller nose. I have no bridge and my nostrils are wide especially when I smile. What would be the best way to go? Why is there puffiness under my eyes? Thank you so much!
Answer: African-American rhinoplasty The photograph shows a bulbous tip, lack of definition of the tip, a low bridge and wide nostrils. These are all the elements typically seen an African-American nose. All of these can be addressed in a rhinoplasty.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon The most effective way to choose a surgeon is to visit their website and decide if the results that are available are the results that you would like to see for yourself. You definitely need to meet with an experienced board certified surgeon experienced in rhinoplasty. Ask them as many questions as you feel it is necessary to become comfortable. Make certain you discuss outcomes you would like to see and realistic expectations. You can also ask them about your puffy eyes!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. 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. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Best way to have a rhinoplasty Best way to proceed would be to learn as much as you can by reading good sites (I've included one for you), then visit a board certified plastic surgeon nearby to explore your options. Be sure to discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon exactly what your goals are, and how reliably they can be expected to be achieved.

Answer: Ethnic Rhinoplasty Dear kimberly1974,Thank you for submitting your photo, but additional views would be really helpful. A profile view and one showing the very top of your nose, and one showing the base, would be important. You can have a larger nose and a higher bridge. In addition, the nostrils can be narrowed and shaped. I would be happy to help you!Best,Dr. Michelle Yagoda
