Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty similar to Rihanna or Alicia Keys nose? (Photo)

Question

I'm currently looking a for good doctor who specializes in NYC or LA in African American rhinoplasty. My biggest concern is that it will get it done and it won't look any different. I see a lot of black people get there noses done and it doesn't look any different. I have no desire to have a fat nose in any way shape or form. My ideal nose is Rhianna or Alicia Keys nose structure. I hope that I am a good candidate to have these ideal results.

I am a double board certified facial plastic surgeon located in Los Angeles who specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty procedures. There are countless facial plastic surgeons out there so I strongly suggest that you do lots of research and find a surgeon who has a very high level of expertise specifically with ethnic rhinoplasty. This will help ensure that you get a natural result that fits right in with your other facial features. I always work with my patients to create a customized treatment plan to provide them with the most idea result possible. This is even more important for ethnic rhinoplasty procedures, as opposed to getting a “cookie cutter” nose job that doesn’t take into account your ethnic background. There are ways that I avoid creating an unnatural outcome in African american noses (for example: limiting the over resection of nostrils; creating a natural bridge; avoiding over pinching of the tip; creating harmony between the tip and bridge; creating facial balance with rest of the face, etc) .

Hello your nose skin and bone quality also very important during the surgery. Yes your nose will get thin and narrow.

Thank you for your question, ldj1988. It is certainly possible to receive a Rhinoplasty procedure aimed at decreasing the width of your nose, however, it is important that you keep in mind that the nose is an individual characteristic. The degree to which your new nose is slender must match your face in naturalness and proportionality because the exact nose for Rihanna or Alicia Keys will not necessarily look best on you. Please be sure to consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Thank you very much for the questions.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, After having analyzed all the info. and photos provided to us, i recommend you perform an Open Full Rhinoplasty, includding narrowing of the nasal base and nostrils, with nasal bones treatment (controled fracture) and alar + triangular nasal cartilages re-shaping.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

A rhinoplasty where a slight dorsal hump reductin is performed with tip refinement and alar base reduction would be indicated. You are a good candidate for this procedure.
