Question

I'm interested in getting a rhinoplasty however I am looking for a surgeon who has very good experience and knowledge of afro-carribbean nose structures and how to keep it looking very natural.

I'm very impressed with the last photo in your gallery and it looks like the type of result I want. I would also like to know how much the procedure would cost and if there is any payment plan.

I have taken profile and front view photos if you would like to have a look.

Answer

It is possible to establish at the time of the consultation using either photographic computer simulation or 3-D imaging and simulation the level of change that you seek to achieve.

A natural appearance covers a wide range of shapes for all races, and it is important to establish what you feel best suits your features. It is not possible to match during the surgery exactly the design achieved with computer simulation, but it is possible, reasonably close to it.

I typically use rib cartilage graft for support of the nasal framework in ethnic rhinoplasty interventions.

I'm afraid that for the time being I do not have a payment plan for the surgical fee.
