Rhinoplasty in Men
Men also improve their profile
In recent years, Dr. Casas has observed an increase in the demand for rhinoplasty surgery among male patients.
Men, just like women, want to undergo surgery to improve the appearance of their nose, but very often also to improve their nasal breathing. It is more common for men to have suffered nasal trauma during sports practice, which makes it more frequent for them to have crooked noses and deviated septums.
When performing rhinoplasty in men, it is very important to take into account that the proportions of the nose and the face are different from those of women. Male rhinoplasty requires the surgeon to have a highly developed concept of masculine beauty in order to achieve a harmonious nose.
The technique I use for rhinoplasty in men is the same—always using my ultrasonic instruments—but paying special attention to what the aesthetic standard is for a masculine nose.
In men, the nasal dorsum should be straighter, and the tip should also have a more neutral, straight position. If we do not preserve these traits, we risk feminizing the nose through surgery.
Men’s skin is thicker and heavier, and their cartilages are stronger and bulkier. For these reasons, the structural concept is especially important in male rhinoplasty surgery.
I use the cartilage that the patient already has inside the nose to create a stable structure, in order to achieve a beautiful, natural, masculine nose, as well as a straight septum that provides good nasal breathing.
From my personal point of view, if we do not create that stable structure, the natural weight of male skin and cartilage, along with the laxity of their nasal ligaments, will cause the result to deteriorate over time.
So we must remember how important this structural concept is if we want to achieve good results in male patients.
