The desired result in male rhinoplasty is a well-balanced, attractive masculine nose with a natural bridge and well-shaped tip. Rhinoplasty can reshape your nose in a number of ways to improve its appearance and proportion in relation to other facial features. Rhinoplasty can also correct certain types of breathing problems.

Rhinoplasty is usually performed via small, carefully concealed incisions inside or along the creases under your nose. By adding or reducing bone and cartilage, surgeons can reshape your nose and create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Breathing problems that result from a deformity in either the septum (the strip of cartilage through the centre of your nose) or the sidewalls of the nostrils can be addressed by adjusting these structures and improving support. This procedure can be performed at the same time as a cosmetic rhinoplasty.

General anaesthesia is used for rhinoplasty surgery. Following the procedure, you should be up and about in a day or two, but take it easy for the first week. Most people can return to work in seven to ten days.
