African American Rhinoplasty

African American Rhinoplasty New York, NY

Information about rhinoplasty procedures for African Americans

Year after year, a large number of men and women speak to plastic surgeons to discuss the options they have available to correct or improve the appearance of their noses.  Roughly 15% of those potential patients are African Americans and that number is always on the rise.

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.

Ethnicity plays an important role in the various shapes and sizes of one’s nose and African Americans are no different in this regard.  Many of Dr. Jacono’s African American patients are unhappy with the nose they were born with and others look to correct their nose after a sport related injury or accident.

African American patients seek out the expertise of Dr. Jacono because they know he will tailor his approach and recommendations specific to that individual which will lead to the best surgical results and create balance to the patient’s face.  Dr. Jacono is able to accomplish this because he understands the unique characteristics and concerns of his African American patients and delivers results without sacrificing their ethnic characteristics and facial harmony.

Some nasal characteristics that African American patients may have are:

  • A low, flat  and/or wide nasal bridge
  • Wide nostrils
  • A broad nasal tip that lacks definition

Because of these anatomic characteristics, African American rhinoplasty is performed completely differently than in the Caucasian patient, In order to improve a flat nasal bridge, it is necessary to add to the nose not take bone and cartilage away. Dr. Jacono will do this by harvesting cartilage grafts from the nasal septum (inside the nose), or from the ears of rib cartilage depending upon how much augmentation is required.

In cases where patients do not want cartilage grafting, he can utilize implants for the nasal bridge made out of Medpor, Gortex, or other materials.  It is his preference to utilize cartilage because it looks and feels more natural. To reduce the width of the bridge the nasal bones need to be narrowed and brought closer together.  For those who do not want surgery, Dr Jacono can augment the bridge with injectable fillers to perform an injectable rhinoplasty using a hyaluronic acid filler like Restylane.

African American noses have nasal tip cartilages that are wider and weaker and lack support. In order to increase tip refinement and lack of projection, he will often use cartilage tip grafts and strut grafts to support and define the tip. Dr. Jacono hears from his African American patients that wide nostrils or wide nasal ala are one of the most common concerns. To improve this Dr. Jacono performs a procedure called an alar reduction, where a small incision is made on the side of the nostril where it connects with the cheek and the extra nostril is removed. The incisions heal seamlessly with fine plastic surgery sutures.

African American Rhinoplasty Before and After Patient 2: This female patient felt her nose was too flat and that her nasal tip was drooping. Dr. Jacono performed her rhinoplasty procedure and the after results show a strong nasal bridge and a well-formed nasal tip.

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.
