African American Rhinoplasty: Focusing on Ethnic Noses

Information About African American Rhinoplasty with Top New York Nose Specialist, Dr. Andrew Jacono.

African American Rhinoplasty Before and After Patient 1: This female African American patient wanted to correct her wide nostrils and flat bridge. The after photos show that Dr. Jacono improved the nasal bridge and decreased the width of the nostrils giving this patient the aesthetic harmony to her nose she was seeking while maintaining her ethnicity.

What Is African American Rhinoplasty?

Every year, thousands of men and women consult plastic surgeons to correct and improve the appearance of their noses. Usually, these alterations are cosmetic, though some people undergo treatment to fix problems like deviated septum and breathing troubles. Roughly 15% of these potential surgical patients are African-American. This number is always on the rise.

What Types of Noses Do African Americans Have?

Ethnicity plays a role in the shape and size of the nose. Many of Dr. Jacono’s African-American patients are unhappy with the nasal profile they were born with, while others want to correct their noses after an injury or accident.

On average, African American patients tend to have:

  • A lower, flatter, and/or a wider nasal bridge
  • Wider nostrils
  • A broader nasal tip that lacks definition

African American patients seek out Dr. Jacono’s expertise because he tailors his approach to individual needs. Dr. Jacono delivers the best outcomes because he understands characteristics unique to each race and ethnicity. He works tirelessly to deliver outstanding results without sacrificing his patients’ identities.

What Is the Difference Between Rhinoplasty and Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

There are a few differences between standard rhinoplasty and ethnic rhinoplasty. Standard (Caucasian) rhinoplasty tends to focus on reducing dorsal humps and refining droopy nasal tips. African-American rhinoplasty, on the other hand, usually focuses on correcting wide tip cartilage, increasing nasal projection, and adding proper support. Dr. Jacono’s African American patients are commonly dissatisfied with the size and width of their nostrils.

To refine African American noses, Dr. Jacono uses tip and strut grafts to add structure and definition to the nasal tip. To reduce the width of the nasal bridge, he narrows the nasal bones and brings them closer together. He also performs a specialized procedure called an alar base reduction. During this alar base reduction, small incisions are made on either nostril, with a precise amount of tissue removed. The incisions heal seamlessly with fine sutures.

In order to raise flat nasal bridges, Dr. Jacono adds to the nose rather than removes bone and cartilage. He does this by harvesting cartilage grafts from the nasal septum, from the ears, or from the ribs. The site of extraction largely depends on how much cartilage is required to add nasal support.

If patients do not want cartilage grafting, Dr. Jacono uses nasal bridge implants. These are made of Medpor, Goretex, or other durable materials. He prefers to use cartilage, as it looks and feels more natural, but implants offer excellent results.

For those who do not want surgery, Dr. Jacono is able to augment the nasal bridge with injectable fillers called an injectable rhinoplasty. For this purpose, he usually uses Restylane, a reliable hyaluronic acid filler.

African-American Nose Job Candidates

The best African American rhinoplasty candidates are at least 15 years old, do not smoke, and are in good physical health. However, to determine whether you are truly a good candidate for surgery, it is best to schedule a consultation.

Prospective patients can meet and speak with Dr. Jacono at his Great Neck, Long Island office, or at his New York City office. His Long Island office can be reached at 516-773-4646. His New York City office can be reached at 212-570-2500. Our patient care coordinators will be more than happy to schedule a consultation. During your appointment, Dr. Jacono will answer any and all questions and concerns that you may have about rhinoplasty.

Choosing a Surgeon for African American Nose Surgery

All prospective rhinoplasty patients should begin by looking at the surgeon’s credentials and certifications. They should also review before-and-after surgical photographs before making a final decision.

Dr. Jacono is a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty. He is particularly skilled at performing surgery on African American patients. He has expert knowledge of the unique characteristics of African-American noses and offers some of the best results in the world.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
