Questions to Ask your Plastic Surgeon about African American Rhinoplasty

African American rhinoplasty is a relatively more complex cosmetic surgery procedure than a regular nose job because it involves delicate nuances related to the patient’s ethnic facial features. The patient should have a clear choice of the nose surgeon and know about all necessary aspects of the procedure in order to make the best decisions.

An experienced surgeon will address all the questions, concerns and doubts of the patient in detail and help them make a well-considered decision. Dr. Wright Jones is a double board certified plastic surgeon providing African American Rhinoplasty and other procedures to patients in Atlanta, Buckhead, Stockbridge, Marietta GA, and surrounding locations.
