Rhinoplasty in African Americans

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a catchall term that groups all patients who are not Caucasian, be it African American, Asian, Hispanic, Indian etc.

Traditionally, performing excisions of the nostril skin to reduce the flare of the nostrils and make them appear smaller has been the standard approach to reduce wide nostrils in the African American rhinoplasty patient.

This simple approach however often leads to an operated look and in most cases the nostrils take on an upside down V appearance instead of the natural curve of an un-operated nostril.

This has allowed him to achieve superior results in reforming the nostril in African American patients.

Most of the swelling associated with cosmetic rhinoplasty is gone within the first two weeks and the nose continues to refine itself for several months after the procedure looking better and better each day.

It is in no way a mandatory procedure and can always be performed as a second procedure under local anesthesia or with a mild sedative if you decide later that you would like to have a chin augmentation.
