A prominent bump on the nasal bridge. A crooked or uneven nose. A broad, rounded or drooping nasal tip. A nose that appears out of proportion with other facial features. Changes caused by previous injury. Certain structural problems affecting nasal breathing.

The surgical techniques are similar, but the aesthetic goals may differ. Some men prefer a stronger bridge and less tip rotation, while others want different changes. Your surgeon should plan treatment around your preferences and facial anatomy rather than a fixed male nose shape.

It may help when breathing difficulties are caused by structural problems, such as a deviated septum or inadequate nasal valve support.

The surgeon reshapes the bone and cartilage through incisions inside the nostrils, known as closed rhinoplasty, or with an additional small incision across the skin between the nostrils, known as open rhinoplasty. Cartilage grafts may be used to provide support or definition. Surgery is usually performed under general anaesthetic.

Closed rhinoplasty generally leaves no external scar. Open rhinoplasty leaves a small scar between the nostrils, which usually becomes less noticeable as it heals.

Allow approximately two weeks for initial recovery, although physically demanding work may require longer. Bruising and swelling can remain visible for several weeks.

Strenuous exercise is commonly restricted for around four to six weeks. Contact sports and activities that could injure the nose may require a longer break.

Changes become more apparent as early swelling settles, but the nose continues to refine over several months.

Your surgeon will review your medical history, examine your nose and breathing, and discuss your preferred changes. To explore male rhinoplasty, contact Moda Donna Medical to arrange a consultation and discuss your individual concerns, treatment options and suitability for surgery.
