Given that your nose is the most prominent feature on your face, it stands to reason you want rhinoplasty done right!

So, what is African American rhinoplasty in DC, and why does it differ from other rhinoplasty? Let’s find out!

This is an outpatient surgical procedure done to correct the size and shape of your nose while adding symmetry and balance to your face.

It can be done for cosmetic purposes or for medical reasons, such as to correct a deviated septum to improve your quality of life. 

What Does African American Rhinoplasty Mean?

It’s actually a term that describes any rhinoplasty for people who are of African descent, taking into consideration a person’s specific ethnic characteristics and designed to detract from those characteristics while still producing natural looking results. 

What Does Surgery Involve?

Rhinoplasty can be done with various techniques, such as open or closed. Open rhinoplasty involves incisions being made internally and externally, while closed means having internal incisions only.

For African American patients, closed rhinoplasty is typically the best choice.

Once incisions are made the cartilage, bone, and tissue are removed and reshaped to meet your aesthetic goals. This is a procedure done under local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia
