Out-of-Town Patients
Out-of-town patients should plan to be in the area for one to two weeks after the surgery to heal and attend follow-up appointments. Traveling patients must solidify their flight information and hotel arrangements in advance. Dr. Becker provides a complete list of products to avoid and preparation instructions during the consultation. Here is a brief list:
African American rhinoplasty recovery involves keeping the head elevated, applying cold compresses to reduce swelling, and avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks

The procedure begins with general anesthesia, and it is either an open or closed rhinoplasty. Most African American rhinoplasty procedures are performed as open surgery, which uses an external incision to allow access to the inside of the nose. In cases of minor alterations, the doctor may perform a closed procedure using only internal incisions.

During open rhinoplasty, the doctor creates a small external incision at the base of the nose between the nostrils. The doctor lifts the nasal skin and exposes the underlying tissue, cartilage, and bony structure to improve the nasal shape.

He may remove tissue from the nostrils, pull them inward, and suture them to reduce the width. Grafts or nasal implant material, which refine or elevate the nose, are used when needed.

During African American rhinoplasty, Dr. Becker creates natural-looking changes that improve the nose shape and correct symmetry and facial harmony. The highly complex procedure requires meticulous attention to artistic detail and usually takes three to four hours to complete.

When sitting or resting, patients must keep their heads at a 45° angle. Avoid bending down to reduce swelling and encourage healing. Cool compresses may reduce swelling. Dr. Becker examines the results and removes the external splint or cast at a follow-up appointment in one week. Most patients experience a significant reduction in bruising and swelling within two weeks.

African American rhinoplasty results are usually seen within three months as most swelling and bruising disappear. However, the tissue on the nose may experience swelling that continues to dissipate over the first year. Individuals who desire a revision rhinoplasty to make minor adjustments must wait six months to one year.

African American rhinoplasty is a safe cosmetic procedure, and complications are rare. However, there is a risk of infection, scarring, bleeding, or side effects from anesthesia after any surgery. During the recovery period, patients may experience bruising around their eyes and nose, swelling, and a stuffy nose. During the consultation, Dr. Becker explains these side effects and the healing process.

The African American nose job is designed specifically for African Americans. It may narrow wider nostrils, include supportive grafts to lengthen the nasal bone, or create a more defined nasal tip. Each adjustment makes minor changes while preserving the patient’s unique African American characteristics.

Out-of-town or out-of-country patients should stay in the area for one to two weeks after surgery while their noses are in the early healing stages. Dr. Becker typically removes the cast after the first week, but the incision lines and dissolvable sutures are sensitive for about two weeks after this nose surgery. At around two weeks, patients are nearly healed and able to apply makeup to the nose and resume most daily activities.

Dr. Becker understands the importance of preserving your ethnic characteristics and reshaping your nose to complement your face without transforming your facial appearance and without changing your African American features.
He thoroughly understands African American faces and noses and provides outstanding, natural-looking results. Ask to see before and after photos of other African American nose job patients during your consultation.

Medical insurance does not typically cover rhinoplasty procedures when they are performed for cosmetic reasons. However, medical insurance may partially cover rhinoplasty to improve breathing, snoring, or functional problems. Contact your insurance company to discuss available coverage.
