Hi, I am considering rhinoplasty. I am African American and while I would like to keep a nose that fits me ethnically, I still want rhinoplasty that would benefit my face as a whole. I feel as though my nose takes a lot of attention from my face. It's too wide and I'm not sure if a bridge would harmonize my face. I have a slender oval face with big eyes & full but small lips in width. I also don't like my profile when I smile. My nose widens a lot and droops a little. What would you suggest?
