Question:
I am an African American female looking to have a nose job.  I feel that my nose is too wide, but I am also scared that a generic small nose might look out of place on my face. Is there a chance of sort of ‘losing my ethnicity’ by having a rhinoplasty?

Answer:
Rhinoplasty involves reshaping the nose to achieve a more aesthetic appearance.

For those with a nose typical for African Americans, this can involve procedures to narrow the nasal bridge, refine the nasal tip and narrow the nostrils. Most African Americans want to make changes that improve their appearance without sacrificing their ethnicity.

Conservative changes with this in mind are important. In addition, video imaging can be used to show patients expected post-surgery appearance. This tool enables patients to be sure that their goals are in line with their surgeon’s.

With today’s rhinoplasty techniques, patients are able to improve their appearance without sacrificing their ethnicity.

Consulting with a board certified facial plastic surgeon is the first step to achieving the nasal appearance you want.
