African Americans often inherit specific facial features, including nose structure. Your nose can be an enhancement for your overall appearance – or a distraction.

With the help of Dr. Paul Leong, nationally acclaimed facial plastic surgeon, you can be confident that your nose surgery will enhance your facial appearance with subtle changes to create greater balance.
