Male Nose Job - Male Cosmetic Surgery
The male nose job or rhinoplasty surgery is a cosmetic surgery procedure that alters the shape of the nose and is essentially the same for men as it is for women. For men the surgery is performed to change the shape and contour the nose for both aesthetic and/or health-related reasons. While most men have a nose job to improve their looks, others have the surgery due to breathing problems caused by bone or cartilage defects and deformities.
Aesthetically a male nose job will change different parts of the nose which include the tip, nostrils, bridge as well as the overall size and symmetry to provide satisfying results. Often a patient will consider a combination of procedures to complete a well-balanced powerful look such as a facelift or chin and or cheek implants.
The ideal candidate for a male nose job is 16 years and older. The surgery will last one to three hours. A splint will be applied to aid the shape of the nose and there may be nasal packing to hold the tissue that separates the nostrils stationary while it heals. This packing is removed in a couple days while the splint isn’t removed until after two weeks.
It is advisable that your plastic surgeon is board certified and experienced with rhinoplasty. It is recommended to consult with your surgeon and discuss in detail the look you hope to achieve. But remember to have realistic expectations and comply with the surgeons post operative care instructions to ensure the best chance for a satisfactory male nose job.
