Rhinoplasty for Men

Introduction to Rhinoplasty For Men

The power of a strong nose is difficult to underestimate. As the centerpiece of the face, the nose can be responsible for how successfully the proportions of the face complement each other. In other words, your nose can make or break the impression you convey with your face. To give you more control over the message your face sends, rhinoplasty for men – or a nose job for male faces – is designed to add or subtract volume from the nose and change some aspects of the basic shape. When considering rhinoplasty for men in the New Jersey and New York areas, the plastic surgeons at East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery have experience navigating the special challenges posed by rhinoplasty in male patients, generating great results for patients.

What is Rhinoplasty For Men?

There are many reasons why a patient might be unhappy with his nose. For some, it might be that the nose is too large; for others, it’s that the nose is too small. For still others, it might be an inherited “hook” nose that is the source of consternation. Rhinoplasty as a procedure needs to be relatively nimble and able to achieve many different desired outcomes. Generally, during a rhinoplasty procedure, an incision is made through the tissue separating your nostrils, and the top layer of skin on the nose is gently peeled back.

In cases where the nose is too large, bone and cartilage will be removed from the bridge of the nose. The removal of tissue will be targeted and designed to provide a strong profile to the nose after surgery. In the case of noses that are too small, the cartilage that is specially designed to provide the desired final nose profile will often be inserted under the tissue. In some cases, the basic shape of the nose can be altered by moving cartilage as necessary, often from the septum to the bridge of the nose. In any case of altering the shape or size of the nose, the surgeons at East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery are sure to consider the final proportions of the face, upon which the nose has a profound effect.

  • A functional rhinoplasty focuses on fixing a deviated septum and clearing the nasal breathing pathways to help resolve breathing issues.

  • A revisional rhinoplasty is a procedure to improve on previous nose jobs that went wrong. This procedure can be complicated because it is not guaranteed to fix the issue at hand, and surgeons are now dealing with scar tissue and compromised nasal elements from previous surgeries.

  • Liquid rhinoplasty is a non-surgical procedure where dermal fillers are injected into the nose to alter its shape. This technique is chosen by those who are looking for a quick and non-invasive way to get a nose job.

Special Considerations for Rhinoplasty For Men

Rhinoplasty for men is both popular and versatile in terms of procedures. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t elements to consider before scheduling your procedure. The plastic surgeons at ECA Plastic Surgery might ask you to consider the following:

  • Expectations: As with many aesthetic plastic surgery procedures, starting the process with realistic expectations is important. There might be realistic and insurmountable roadblocks to your final look, so it’s important to keep in mind the limits of rhinoplasty as you begin the process.
  • Medical Conditions: You should not undergo a rhinoplasty if you have a compromised immune system or other underlying health issues, as infection can be a more common complication from this procedure.
  • Breathing: During surgery, plastic surgeons can correct a deviated septum, which can interfere with breathing. You may also notice a subtle change in your voice after the operation.

What’s the first step?

The first step in getting a rhinoplasty for men in the New York and New Jersey areas is to schedule a consultation at ECAPS with one of our expert surgeons. Your ECAPS plastic surgeon will care about your face’s symmetry and overall health. Because rhinoplasty does involve surgery, it’s important to share all pertinent medical information with your plastic surgeon during your initial consultation. This includes prior treatments, current medications, and even tobacco and alcohol use. Sharing this information will help ensure that the results in which you invest will last for as long as possible and that your nose will most closely resemble your desired final look.

If you both decide to move forward, your surgeon will create a treatment plan with you that you can share with our patient coordinator for scheduling, pricing options, and any pre-operative instructions.

What to Expect on the Day of Rhinoplasty Surgery

In most cases, rhinoplasty is performed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia. However, it may sometimes be performed with local anesthetic and general sedation. In either case, rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning patients are typically allowed to return home following a short stay in a recovery room.

There are two basic approaches to most rhinoplasty procedures: open and closed. During an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made along the narrow column of skin between your nostrils, known as your columella. This is a relatively small incision, so scar tissue is easily hidden once healing begins. During a closed rhinoplasty, the incision is made inside the nose; hence, all scars related to the surgery are hidden.

Once the incision is made, the skin is gently lifted over the cartilage and nasal bones, allowing surgeons access to the interior structures of the nose. If the patient wants a smaller nose, cartilage is removed or reshaped. When the patient wants the nose to be larger, cartilage from the septum may be used as a graft.

When the nose changes are complete, the incision is closed, and stitches or sutures are applied.

On average, a rhinoplasty can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours if there are no complications.

Rhinoplasty For Men: Recovery

It’s incredibly important to carefully follow your plastic surgeon’s recovery instructions after your rhinoplasty procedure. Because of its inherently sensitive placement, rhinoplasty tends to come with a slightly higher risk of infection in the nose and chest. You should be able to return to work within one week or so of your surgery, and major swelling should subside over the next few weeks.

You’ll notice diminishing minor swelling over the next three to six months. Your plastic surgeon at East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery will provide you with detailed, individualized recovery instructions to protect your desired results.
