What Is Male Rhinoplasty?

Male rhinoplasty (nose surgery) is performed to correct imbalance and asymmetry in the nose, which causes self-consciousness in some patients.

Whether you are unhappy with a pronounced dorsal hump, a bulbous or drooping tip, or overly wide, flared nostrils, Dr. Small can help you achieve the look you desire.

In addition to its cosmetic advantages, rhinoplasty can also help patients breathe better by correcting structural imperfections, such as a deviated septum. Dr. Small customizes the surgery to reflect the unique attributes of male anatomy, making sure that your final results preserve your identity and masculinity.

Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

If you are unhappy with the size, shape, or function of your nose and are seeking a significant improvement with lasting results, a surgical nose job in Toms River and Stafford Township may be the ideal procedure for you. To qualify, you need to be a healthy, non-smoking individual with realistic expectations. Teens are candidates for rhinoplasty as long as their noses have finished growing, which typically happens at around 16 or 17 for boys. Dr. Small provides a detailed consultation process to better understand your goals, answer your questions, and ensure the procedure will be a safe, successful option for restoring your appearance and confidence.

Types of Rhinoplasty

Dr. Small has several techniques at his disposal when performing male rhinoplasty in Ocean County, NJ. He will choose the best approach based on your anatomy and goals. Types of rhinoplasty include the following:

Open rhinoplasty

With this technique, Dr. Small creates small incisions across the columella at the base of the nose, allowing him to lift the skin and access the inner nasal structure with greater ease and precision. Scars fade to faint white lines that are inconspicuous. Open rhinoplasty is usually recommended when more extensive reshaping of cartilage and bone is required.

Closed rhinoplasty

With closed rhinoplasty, Dr. Small places incisions inside the nostrils where scarring is later hidden from view. Closed rhinoplasty allows Dr. Small to elegantly refine and reshape the nose, creating nuanced, subtle results.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

Dr. Small performs male rhinoplasty under general anesthesia. This allows patients to sleep peacefully throughout the procedure, carefully monitored by our board-certified providers. Next, he will create incisions outside or inside the nose, as dictated by your unique treatment plan. Dr. Small then adjusts the nasal bone and cartilage, sculpting a more proportionate, balanced nasal profile. If he needs to bolster the nasal bridge, as is common with ethnic rhinoplasty cases, he may use cartilage grafts to secure a stronger nasal scaffolding. If functional issues are present, such as a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or nasal polyps, Dr. Small will correct those issues as well. Once all changes have been completed, he will close the incisions with state-of-the-art suturing techniques.

Recovery After Rhinoplasty in Ocean County, NJ

After male rhinoplasty in Toms River or Manahawkin, you will be groggy from anesthesia and will only be released into the care of a friend, family member, or helper who will drive you home and assist you for the first 24-48 hours. You will receive a customized aftercare plan from Dr. Small, along with prescription pain medications to help keep you comfortable as your body heals. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are normal side effects; they will resolve after a week or so.

It is critical to avoid any activities that might jostle your incisions while the nose heals. Steer clear of strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least 4-6 weeks. Follow Dr. Small’s instructions to the letter, and make sure to attend all follow-up visits so the doctor can monitor your recovery progress. Patients can typically see results within a few weeks as residual swelling begins to die down. However, it can take up to 12 months for all swelling to fade completely, so it’s important not to judge your final outcome too soon.
