NASAL SURGERY LIMITATIONS WITH A AFRICAN AMERICAN NOSE
Question:
I’m African American and interested in getting a nose job. On the Internet, most patient photos seem to be of Caucasian patients and I was just wondering if there are any limitations to what can be achieved with rhinoplasty performed on African Americans.
Answer:
Yes, there are limitations on what a rhinoplasty can achieve. It is not possible to give a very thin, well defined nose to someone who starts out with a very thick, poorly defined nose, but significant improvements can be achieved. It is important to have the surgery done by a surgeon who has alot of experience operating on your type of nose.
