Is a Rhinoplasty different if you are African American

I’ve been wanting to get a nose job for a very long time now and I think I’m finally ready to do it. I’m African American and was just wondering if there are any risks or complications specific to African Americans?
 
The African American Rhinoplasty is very different than the caucasian rhinoplasty in many ways.  The skin is thicker and heavier and the cartilages are weaker so to create a smaller, more defines and cuter nose, cartilage grafts and support must be added to the nose to tent the skin and provide definition and shape.  Risks are no different than any other rhinoplasty other than the potential of a keloid or hypopigmented scar in the incision under the nose.  That being said, this problem is rare to almost unheard of on African American noses unlike the issue on African American ears, etc...
