Male Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is also known as nose surgery is a procedure that reshapes the nose that leads to a more enhanced facial aesthetic. It can be done for cosmetic reasons as well as for correcting structural or functional defects in the nose such as those associated with breathing issues and deviated septum.

Male rhinoplasty is on the increase mainly because besides having a chiseled jawline and chin, the shape and size of the nose are on top of the list of defining the facial profile. Male rhinoplasty can complement the cheeks, chin, eyes, and other facial features to enhance facial symmetry.

What Male Rhinoplasty can treat

The male rhinoplasty can treat a number of issues regarding the nose depending on your own individual desires. They include:

Nose size in relation to facial asymmetry
Width at the bridge of the nose
Size and position of the nostrils
Visible depressions or humps on the bridge
Nasal tip that is bulbous or enlarged, drooping, hooked or upturned
Nostrils that are wide, large, or upturned
Nasal asymmetry
Change the angle between the upper lip and the nose

The customized treatment will be determined during your consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is an expert in male rhinoplasty.

Difference between the male and female rhinoplasty

Although male and female rhinoplasties are similar, the aesthetic goals that are associated with the procedure differ mainly due to the anatomical and psychological differences between the two sexes. While women tend to undergo nose surgery to address a nose that is too wide or one that gives the appearance of a droopy tip, men on the other hand undergo rhinoplasty to increase the width to the middle of the nose and to straighten the nasal bridge.

At Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery, the Best Plastic Surgery Clinic in Dubai, male rhinoplasty is customized to a man’s facial features so as to ensure that he benefits from an aesthetically pleasing nose that promotes his masculine appearance.

The Ideal Candidate for Male Rhinoplasty

Men seeking to have rhinoplasty should be in good health both physically and psychologically. They should be adults as the nose needs to have finished developing though some teenagers do qualify for the procedures. Their concerns should fit into what can be treated with rhinoplasty plus they should have realistic expectations regarding the procedure.

Male Rhinoplasty procedure

Male rhinoplasty is done as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.

There are three techniques that can be used during the procedure depending on the purpose of the surgery. They include:

Open rhinoplasty. This is used for reshaping the nose tips with the incision being made in the area between the nostrils.
Closed rhinoplasty. For this technique, the incisions are usually hidden in the inside of the nose.
When the nose is to be narrowed, the nasal bones are altered in shape during surgery.

Although the techniques vary, it is all about artistically matching the face for a natural appearance.

Recovery and Results

During the surgery, an exterior nasal splint is applied and internal splints may be placed to prevent scar tissue from forming.

There will be some swelling and bruising following the procedure but most men start seeing the results a week after the surgery when the splints are removed. It will take sometime before the nose is fully healed.
