If you are a male who is unhappy with the size and shape of your nose, you may be considering nose job surgery. Male rhinoplasty can help sculpt your nose to create a masculine appeal to help you feel more self-confident. It can also correct issues with your ability to breathe that may be impacting your overall quality of life.

Male Rhinoplasty Procedure

Male rhinoplasty is a cosmetic outpatient procedure typically performed using general anesthesia. During the surgery, bone and cartilage are adjusted to reshape the nose. Incisions are typically made inside the nostrils or under the tip of the nose to minimize visible scarring. Additional cosmetic procedures can be performed with male rhinoplasty for greater enhancement of male facial features.

A plastic splint may be placed on and/or within the nose to provide support during recovery. This splint is removed in about a week. Swelling and bruising are
expected after surgery, which can be minimized by pain medication and ice packs. You may be able to resume work activities in a week. It can take up to two years to see the full results of this surgical procedure.

Men interested in rhinoplasty should be non-smokers in good health. Underlying medical conditions and smoking can impede the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
