The skin is pretty thick, and my nose can only be referred to as bulbous. I'd like to scale it way down, without resembling Janet Jackson (although she's gorgeous and makes it work for her). I don't want to get rid of my African features (I also have large lips, and a tiny, European nose would probably ruin my face), but I kind of want to go from Jay-Z to Beyoncé - how likely is that to happen?
Answer: An Experienced Nasal Surgeon is Needed to get a great result Nasal surgery in a African American patient should be done with an experienced surgeon. When choosing a surgeon you should ask them about their experience. Undergoing surgery should be a very positive experience for you. Make sure you see before and after pictures so that you can judge the doctors aesthetic sense,. Your doctor should have experience in both the open and closed nasal surgery technique.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for more definition The improvements you are looking for can be achieved with rhinoplasty surgery. You appear to need some tip refinement and to have the bridge built up. Consult with a facial plastic surgeon or general plastic surgeon who specializes in nose surgery for best results.

Answer: Ethnic Rhinoplasty is Available for African American Patients At my office, I am able to perform ethnic rhinoplasty procedures for African American patients who have specific needs and aesthetic goals. In many cases, African American patients have noses that contain weaker cartilage and shorter nasal bones that must be treated with extra precision. Additionally, African American skin is thicker and darker, meaning that a plastic surgeon must understand that these patients may be more vulnerable to visible post-surgery scarring. It takes a skilled cosmetic surgeon with experience performing ethnic rhinoplasty to recognize the structural differences between different ethnicities and employ the techniques required to provide satisfying, natural-looking results.

Answer: The BEST technique for an ethnic rhinoplasty The BEST option for an ethnic rhinoplasty is the "Banner technique" because you have a very thick skin and the only way to define the nasal tip is to put a small septal cartilage graft that gives the tip and the skin a little preassure so it decreases its thickness. Most of my patients are latin and they have the same problem and Ive had excelent results with this technique. You can find pictures on the link provided. Have a good day.
