Plastic surgery of the male nose

Male rhinoplasty

Plastic surgery of the male nose (male rhinoplasty) is an operation that allows to correct external defects or restore impaired functions. Male, as well as female, rhinoplasty is performed only after a comprehensive diagnosis, both from an aesthetic point of view and for medical reasons.

Male rhinoplasty is significantly different from rhinoplasty for women. This is a fundamentally different approach and principles, as well as views on performing surgery and achieving the desired result. This is due to the fact that the male nose has a different anatomy and features of perception. In this case, the main goal of the plastic surgeon is to maintain the full proportions and geometry of the nose. Also, the plastic of the male nose takes into account the psychotype of appearance and personality type.

Undoubtedly, nose plastics belongs to the category of the most difficult areas in plastic surgery, providing an integrated approach to solving issues of functionality and aesthetics of the face. Changing the size and shape of the nose will not only improve the proportions of the face, but also maintain, and in some cases improve the function of full nasal breathing.

Indications for male nose rhinoplasty

In  most cases, representatives of a strong half of humanity resort to plastic surgery to eliminate the consequences of an injury or to solve medical problems.

One of the most common problems is a curvature of the nasal septum. This problem causes serious health problems: snoring, frequent runny nose, trouble breathing. Also, the patient may have a perforation of the nasal septum. A similar problem occurs with the uncontrolled and prolonged use of special vasoconstrictors for the nose.

Men who want to correct the existing ethnic features of their appearance, in particular, a too drooping tip, a “Roman” nose, a too long nose, and the presence of a large hump, turn to a plastic surgeon. Also, snoring, fractures of the nasal bones can serve as a reason for surgery. In some cases, with just one operation, two goals can be achieved simultaneously – to correct both functional and aesthetic defects. In this case, rhinoseptoplasty will be needed.

Thus, male nose rhinoplasty is performed if there are medical and aesthetic indications.

         Medical indications:

1. Violation of full-fledged nasal breathing.
2. Narrowing of the nasal passages.
3. Curvature, displacement of the septum of the nose.
4. Anomaly in the structure of the nasal passages, provoking the development of rhinitis.

         Aesthetic indications:       

1. The presence of a hump.
2. Long and wide nose.
3. Saddle depression.

Particular features of male nose rhinoplasty

Before  the surgery, Andrey Leonidovich Kharkov examines the patient. At this stage, a new shape of the nose is being discussed. 3-D modelling is used to visualize the desired result.

In most cases, nasal surgery is performed under general anesthesia. When it comes to plastic surgery of the tip of the nose, local anesthesia is used.

Plastic surgeons use two types of nose plastics. It all depends on the volume and complexity of the surgery. It can be open or closed rhinoplasty.

Open rhinoplasty

For a plastic surgeon, this option is more preferable. It allows you to 100% view the site of surgical intervention and perform even the most voluminous operations. The incision is made in the skin along the internasal septum.

From such an incision, the suture is noticeable only in the early postoperative period. It is almost completely invisible after the healing process. If we are talking about narrowing the nostrils or reducing the width of the wings of the nose, additional incisions can be used (they are located at the base of the nostrils).

Closed rhinoplasty

In this case, the surgeon makes an incision in the mucous membrane, in the inner part of the nasal passages. Due to this, the incisions are not visible after surgery.

As for the access, with closed rhinoplasty, it is carried out between the cartilages, through the cartilages of the nose, along their edge. The choice of the type of access depends on the purpose of the surgery, the condition and thickness of the skin, nasal cartilage and soft tissues.

The duration of the nose surgery in the clinic of Andrey Kharkov is 60 minutes. The patient stays in the hospital for 24 hours after the operation. The stitches are located on the columella and are removed on the 10th day, the plaster cast on the 7th day.

Rehabilitation period

Immediately after  the surgery, there may be slight painful sensations that prevent full nasal breathing. To relieve pain, as prescribed by the doctor, the patient takes an analgesic. After a few weeks, the severity of edema and bruising decreases.

The duration of the rehabilitation period is 10-14 days. You can evaluate the final result within six months after the plastic surgery.
