Before and After Photos
Procedure
There are several reasons why men may choose to get rhinoplasty. Some may have a nasal injury that has left their nose crooked or misshapen, while others may be looking to improve the appearance of their nose for cosmetic reasons. Additionally, some men may have difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum or other structural issues with their nose, and rhinoplasty can help to correct these problems.
During a rhinoplasty procedure, the surgeon will make incisions inside the nostrils or across the base of the nose. The surgeon will then reshape the cartilage and bone of the nose to achieve the desired result. If the patient is undergoing the procedure for medical reasons, the surgeon may also address any structural issues with the nose that may be affecting the patient’s ability to breathe.
Recovery
After the procedure, patients can expect some swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes. They may also experience some discomfort and congestion for several days. Most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within a week or two after the procedure, although it may take several weeks for the swelling to fully subside.
Risks
Like any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty does carry some risks. These risks may include bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. It is important for patients to carefully follow their surgeon’s post-operative instructions to minimize the risk of complications.
Conclusion
Rhinoplasty can be an effective way for men to improve the appearance of their nose or address medical issues that may be affecting their breathing. If you are considering rhinoplasty, it is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience performing the procedure on male patients.
