I would like my bridge raised and just an overall thinner look to my nose. What is the best route rhinoplasty or could this be achieved using nose fillers? Im looking for the least invasive procedure as I am not keen on going under the knife. Also Im scared of scarring and keloids....which i had on my ears before but they were removed. What recommendations do you have to improve my nose?

Answer: Fillers vs Rhinoplasty Fillers are only temporary but might help the dorsum of your nose somewhat for several months only. If you have pierced ears and not keloids there or elswhere you are unlikely to have keloids with a rhinoplasty. Always find a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in African American rhinoplasty. See the below link for details on how to locate one in your area.

Answer: Non Surgical African American Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty is common performed to narrow and create definition in the nose. The cause for the loss of definition in the nose can vary from patient to patient. Some causes of a wide nasal tip and nose are:1) Thick skin2) Divergent nasal cartilages3) Overly curved nasal cartilages4) Wide nasal cartilage5) Short underprojected nose6) Wide nasal bonesIn reviewing your pictures, fillers could slightly raise your bridge of your nose. In all honesty, the changes that you are seeking would not be possible with injections. To create a smaller more defined nose, you would need to undergo a rhinoplasty.I certainly understand your concerns undergoing surgery. I have been involved with many African American rhinoplasties and I have never seen a keloid secondary from the surgery. I would love to hear the input from other doctors that answer this question if they have ever seen a keloid after a rhinoplasty. I hope this helps.
