Men’s rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to achieve a more proportionate and masculine appearance. This procedure can address various concerns, including nasal size, shape, symmetry, nasal tip refinement, and correcting nasal humps or depressions.
Like regular nose surgery, rhinoplasty for men reshapes and adjusts the structures of your nose for a more balanced appearance. However, the goal of this procedure is to tailor the surgery for men to create or maintain a more masculine profile with long-lasting results.
There are many different aspects of the nose that a male rhinoplasty operation can correct, including:
Most men do have a healthy attitude towards male Rhinoplasty and have proper realistic expectations. However, there are some men who should not be offered Rhinoplasty due to their psychological characteristics and predisposition. Some Plastic Surgeons have gone as far as refusing to operate on any and all male Rhinoplasty patients in order to avoid operating on this small but troubling segment of the nose job seeking population.
Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes, and be non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery to optimize healing. Patients may wish to balance their nose with other facial features, experience nose reshaping, or improve their nasal septum.
Patients will experience initial swelling and bruising, which typically subside within two weeks. The final results can take up to one year to fully emerge as swelling resolves over several weeks to months. Most patients can resume light activities within a week but should avoid strenuous exercise and activities that could risk injury to the nose for several weeks. Long-term outcomes often include resolved breathing problems and a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing nasal appearance that enhances overall facial harmony. Patients who underwent functional correction may also experience improved nasal breathing.
Rhinoplasty can be done once nasal growth is complete. In girls, this usually occurs by age 13 and in boys, by age 16. It can be done at any age for deformities or issues that develop over time or result from injury.
Incisions are made inside the nose and are closed with dissolving sutures. If the nostrils must be narrowed, there may be small incisions and removable sutures at the nostril rim. These sutures are taken out 5 days after surgery. A splint will be removed about one week after surgery.
Rhinoplasty patients typically return to work, school, and other everyday activities after 7 to 10 days. You may participate in non-contact exercise 2 weeks after surgery, but you should avoid contact athletics for 6 weeks.
As most of the bruising and swelling fades over the first 10 to 14 days after surgery, the shape of the nose gradually improves. It typically takes 6 months to a year after rhinoplasty for the nose to be fully healed and reach its new, enhanced shape.
