African American Rhinoplasty

Nowadays, rhinoplasty is one of the procedures that many people undergo to achieve not only a better-looking nose but also a perfect face ratio. Even if it is similar to other rhinoplasty procedures, ethnic rhinoplasty has different challenges due to patients’ unique structures in their noses. Especially in the case of ethnic rhinoplasty, in which, as different races have their unique facial features, “one size fits all” approach should be avoided.

What is African American Rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty is similar to other forms of rhinoplasty, however, one should remember that every procedure should be unique according to individuals’ features and needs. When it comes to African American rhinoplasty, closer attention is deserved since African American noses differ in shape and size depending on their ancestral heritage. Most African American patients have a low nasal bridge, a flatter nose with wider nostrils, a bulbous tip, and thicker skin over the nose. Thus, the African American rhinoplasty aims to create a more balanced look without changing the patients’ unique facial structure.

African American Rhinoplasty Techniques

Since African American patients have flatter noses and wider nostrils and a bulbous nose tip, the removal of the excess fat tissue in the tip and narrowing nostril flare are performed by plastic surgeons to create a more balanced look and bring harmony to the face. The sutures are placed inside the nose. For African-American patients, creating a European-Westernized nose makes it obvious that the patient has gotten plastic surgery, as the nose fails to fit their ethnic facial structures. The key to having an African-American rhinoplasty that reflects the natural beauty of the patient is ensuring that the plastic surgeon is highly skilled and experienced in ethnic rhinoplasty.

Similar to how your skin reflects your origin, your nose does the same as well. If you are in overall good health, your ethnic heritage is African and you want to preserve your ethnic facial features when changing the shape and size of your nose, you are a good candidate for this kind of Rhinoplasty.

African American Rhinoplasty Results and Recovery

Like other Rhinoplasty surgeries, this surgery is also performed under general anesthesia for the best results. Patients may experience bruising and swelling and expect to need 1-2 weeks to recover from the surgery. Most of the patients return to work and light physical activities are allowed after a week following the surgery. After 12 weeks, the nose will reach its final shape and size.
