A prominent nose tends to draw attention to itself, often eclipsing the rest of the facial features.

Men who are generally unhappy with their profile because of a large nose can benefit from rhinoplasty.

Also known as a nose job or nose reshaping surgery, rhinoplasty is one of the most sought after male cosmetic procedures in Australia, particularly in Sydney. Rhinoplasty for men is used to reduce the size of the nose, improve the shape of the nasal tip or the bridge, remove unsightly bumps or humps, or make the nose straighter or narrower. Rhinoplasty can also be used to correct birth defects that may be causing nasal obstructions.

Combined with other male cosmetic procedures like eyelid lift, eyebrow lift, and facelift, rhinoplasty can dramatically improve a man’s overall facial appearance and take years off his face. Rhinoplasty usually takes between one and two hours and the patient may be under general or local anaesthetic depending on the circumstances.

When discussing rhinoplasty with your surgeon it’s important to consider your expectations and as a patient, you should always be mindful that the goal of surgery is improvement not perfection. Depending on the general health of the patient they may require a short hospital stay after the procedure alternatively the procedure is performed as a day case.

Side effects of a rhinoplasty procedure are generally contained to swelling and bruising around the eyes although they quickly subside. Reduction in the swelling of the nose takes more time and in some cases numbness may be present for a number of months after the procedure. However, such minor discomfort is generally a small price to pay for men looking to enhance their looks and boost their self esteem.
