Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Love it!
So over the last few weeks, I have gradually gotten used to having a tiny nose (well, what I consider to be a tiny nose, even though it is probably just my perception that it is tiny, relative to the nose I had before.
The one thing I will say is that this has been such an emotional and psychological roller coaster. I really think a pysch evaluation should be part of the consulting process. I had so much difficulty getting used to this nose. I felt like part of my nose was missing. Touching my nose when washing my face, made me feel so anxious, like it felt so tiny... Like where is the rest of my nose?! Lol.
I am glad that I eventually got over it but some people never do. So... be careful and make sure this is really what you want. Understand that the nose is a huge part of our identify and messing with your nose can cause a lot of distress and trauma.
For me, I am glad I got this done, it's behind me, I love my results and I can now move on with the rest of my life.
Best wishes everyone! :-)

African American Alarplasty
Somedays I miss my old nose. This is a real adjustment. The nostrils are so small.
I have order nostril dilators and hoping that I can use them to expand my nostrils a little. I also use makeup to darken inside my nostrils and it helps to make it look bigger.
I asked for a conservative alarplasty but I think this is way more aggresive than I needed.
I am just happy my nose is still functional, I can breathe, blow and pick my nose and hopefully, I'll get to like the way it looks now.

African American Alarplasty
It's been a little over 3 weeks.
It is so nerve racking because upclose my nose looks fine but from a distance it just looks wierd. Like I can't see my nostrils. My nose seems so narrow.
I feel like my nostrils were reduced tooo much. I just wanted a tiny reduction and asked for a very conservative alarplasty. I don't think that is what I got.
Are my nostrils too small? Does my nose look fake? I'm African so I feel like a little flare is normal and desirable. Especially with a short nose that doesn't have a lot of projection.
