As an African American looking for rhinoplasty there are several things that are will need to be corrected and here is my endeavor to give the information about African American rhinoplasty before and after.
The idea of beautiful nose has always been promoted as straight with a narrow tip, a narrow bridge and above all the refined nostrils. The typical African American is very different from these types and hence the rhinoplasty surgery for African Americans is a very common thing.
Common is one thing but to find a surgeon who can do this job correctly is a tough call. I say this because you would definitely not want to look ugly after the nose job what that means is that your nose should gel well with the face after the surgery and it should merely not be a westernized nose on a African American face. If you are embarking on a journey for nose job make sure that you find the right specialized surgeon who can do the job properly and has a history of doing African American nose jobs.
The African nose has thicker skin and also the nose is of flatter geometry as opposed to the Caucasian nose which is of narrow geometry. This thick skin can effect what happens to the nose after the surgery. The surgeon practicing ethnic surgery should be able to tell you better about the rhinoplasty before and after results from past experiences. This due diligence will help you avoid revision rhinoplasty if you do not like the appearance the first time.
The Search for A Caucasian Nose
Celebrities and all common folks have always been enamored with the caucasian nose and that has meant that people have tried all sorts of nose sjob as well as surgeries.
Celebrities have undergone Rhinolpasty include the famous ones which are Miachel Jackson and Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry, Stephanie Mills, Janet Jackon and Alicia Keys.
Check them before you decide to go in for this kind of surgery.

Will Rhinoplasty change you?
If you are thinking whether you are a candidate for rhinoplasty then let me tell you both sides of the story. You are a candidate of rhinoplasty if you think your nose is not good aesthetically and that is all that matters. On the other side you may not be the candidate if you are comfortable with the nose.
Make sure to talk to a rhinoplasty surgeon for a realistic view of the surgery, the costs and the benefits. Most surgeons have a computer imaging software which will help tell you how you will look like after the surgery by giving rhinoplasty before and after images. The surgeon should also be able to align your expectations based on his experience. It will help as you are spending money and also because he has dealt with several patients in his career. The surgery can really make a difference in how you view yourself. If you re looking at very small changes then the expense of those can be high making it meaningless to do small nose job.
If you are an Asian then trying to have a nose surgery to look more Caucasian is an option. But the fact is that after the surgery you may end something very different than you expected. It always depends on the type of nose you have. A thin nose is what most Asian desire. Now whether the rhinoplasty can change your nose from wide ad flat to tin and small only a specialist surgeon can tell. Look for surgeons who have experience in dealing with Asians.
Update : If you are also looking at tummy tuck option then I found out a great source of tummy tuck jeans online. Hopefully this will help.
So if you are trying to get rhinoplasty done then make sure that you get all the facts right. Talk to your friends, get advice from surgeons and ask the insurance guys about coverage too.
