Male Rhinoplasty Ideal Candidates
Male rhinoplasty is recommended for men with an overly high or overly low nasal bridge, a bulbous nasal tip, a droopy nasal tip, or flared nostrils.
Men who have fully developed noses (which usually occurs by age 16) are ideal candidates for male rhinoplasty. Men who are generally healthy and have realistic goals and a positive outlook are the best candidates.
Your Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Caceres will discuss your nasal shape and surgical goals with you to create the best, strongest, and most chiseled nasal shape for you. He will answer any questions you may have.
Besides changes to the nasal shape, rhinoplasty should aim to optimize your nasal function. By improving your nasal breathing you should feel more comfortable, have improved exercise performance in the gym and possibly reduce snoring to improve your sleep.
The Male Rhinoplasty Procedure
Rhinoplasty for men can last between two to four hours. It will start by administering anesthesia to make the patient comfortable during the procedure.
After incisions have been created, changes will be performed according to the surgical plan. These can affect the nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissue. The incisions will be closed with sutures, and a splint and bandage may be applied to the nose for support during the healing process.
Recovery Period
The patient will be driven home by a friend or family member after surgery. Post-surgery instructions and prescriptions will be given to the patient to aid in the healing process.
Minor pain, swelling, and bruising can be experienced during the first few days of recovery. Time off from work will be required, and patients must avoid physically taxing activities like heavy exercise.
The nasal swelling will drastically improve over the first few weeks and the results will continue to improve over the first year.
Male Rhinoplasty Cost
The cost of a male rhinoplasty will vary depending on factors like the difficulty of the surgery. The anesthesia used and other relevant factors can also impact the overall price of the procedure. For functional rhinoplasty performed to improve breathing, insurance may cover the cost of the surgery.
