The Challenges of Male Rhinoplasty

First of all, as in all aesthetic surgeries, although there are general terms in masculine rhinoplasty, a patient based- customized approach should be followed. Not every man who has rhinoplasty can have the same type of nose at the end of the same surgery. In other words, the answer to the question “How should male rhinoplasty be?” is that it varies from patient to patient.

You may have a friend or celebrity whose nose type you like very much. You may dream of having the same nose. However, there is an important thing that you should not forget at this point. That nose type you like may look really great on the person concerned. However, your nose image is not just about the appearance of the nose. Even the finest details of your facial features affect your nose appearance. Therefore, the nose that looks great on the person you like may not look good on you. At this point, you should consider the advice given by your plastic surgeon, taking into account your wishes.

It is necessary to prepare for surgery before rhinoplasty. If the person is not prepared for nose surgery, bleeding may be more than expected at the time of surgery or the recovery period may not be productive. Here are a few main items that men should pay attention to before rhinoplasty;

• Smoking should be completely quitted at least 6 months before rhinoplasty.
• It is important to stay away from alcohol and herbal teas.
• Blood thinners such as aspirin should not be used.
• If your doctor has suggested a treatment to improve your skin quality, to comply with those treatments.
• Any kind of health problems should be eliminated.
• You need to replace your diet with a healthy diet.

The recovery period after male rhinoplasty is about 1 year. This process is divided into 3 periods after the surgery. The period covering the first week is the early period, the middle period starting from the 7th day to the 2nd month and the late period extending up to 1 year. After the middle period, the recovery is gradually completed. Although this varies from person to person, there are some points to be considered after the surgery. These are;

• Nutrition
• Smoking
• Avoiding any injury and sun exposure
• Being careful about sunglasses and blowing your nose
• Going to routine controls and following the doctor’s recommendations.

The points that distinguish male and female rhinoplasty are as follows;

• Men’s noses should be longer and larger than women’s noses.
• While men’s noses are straighter and brutal, women’s noses are curved and feminine.
• Men’s bone and cartilage structure is thicker than women’s.
• Men’s nose skin is thicker than women’s.
• Men’s nose tip is wider and larger.
• The tip of the nose of women is higher than that of men.
• While the forehead and nose pass is in the form of the letter Z in men, it is in the shape of the letter V in women.
• While the ideal nasolabial angle is around 90 degrees in men, it is around 110 degrees in women.
• The nasal wings and the angle of the wing with the midline are wider in males.
• In men, the distance between the tip of the nose and the upper lip should be kept short.

The male nose should be more prominent. Women, on the other hand, should be more elegant and less obvious. Just as it is not right to have a masculine appearance in women, it is not right to have a feminine image in men.
