Male Rhinoplasty for Men Sydney

Many men are self-conscious about the size or shape of their nose and feel that their nose does not match the rest of their face. Male Rhinoplasty can help you with that. Since it is the most prominent element of your face, it’s understandable that your nose plays a pivotal role in your appearance. It could be that your nose is too big or small, crooked or just needs reconstruction due to having a broken nose that didn’t heal properly.

About Male Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty or commonly known as a nose job is a cosmetic surgical procedure that can change the appearance of your nose by sculpting its various components like the nasal bones, the cartilage, and skin. It can help to reshape your nose to complement your facial features and achieve symmetry. It can also be used to correct any structural defects in the nose to improve breathing. Apart from this, it can also be used to:

Remove a hump or depression on the bridge of the nose
Reshape the tip
Narrow the nose to match your face
Addressing the nostrils
Increasing or decreasing the size of the nose
Correcting deviated septum

Am I a suitable candidate for a Male Rhinoplasty?

You may be a suitable candidate for Rhinoplasty if:

You are concerned about the look of your nose
Your nasal bridge is either too high or low
You have a female-like nose
Your nose has a large, red, and bumpy appearance
Your nose is crooked due to some reason
You are experiencing breathing problem due to the anatomy of your nose
You are over 16 years of age and your facial features have developed completely
You are in a good state of health and do not smoke

Benefits of a Male Rhinoplasty

Improves your overall facial aesthetic
Helps you achieve face symmetry
Can increase or decrease the size of the nose
Reshape or reduce individual parts of the nose
Can correct problems caused due to a deviated septum
Can straighten a crooked or broken nose
Improves breathing

Recovery After Your Male Rhinoplasty Surgery

Recovery can take anywhere from a week to two depending on the severity of the treatment and you’ll start noticing the changes over time as the nasal contour will take time to refine fully. Initial swelling can last for up to a week but can occur sparingly over the year.

You will require someone to drive you home from the hospital where your surgery will be performed and might need to take leave from work for a week or more. It is recommended that you avoid the following activities for a few weeks post-surgery:

Strenuous physical activities and running
Swimming
Blowing your nose
Excessive chewing
Any facial expressions that require lots of movement
Pulling clothing over your head
Resting eyeglasses on your nose
Vigorous tooth brushing

A plastic or metal splint will be placed on your nose that will help your nose retain its new shape while it heals and nasal packs or splints may also be placed inside your nostrils to stabilize your septum. Splints and dressings will be kept for up to a week after surgery.

In case of a minor correction surgery, you will be monitored for at least a few hours after surgery and will be allowed to leave later that day. However, if the broken nose surgery is a complicated one, you might have to stay in the hospital for a few days.

You should expect it to take about a year before the final result can materialize. The tip of the nose commonly feels numb after surgery and will recover as soon as the nerves of the skin regenerate.

What are the Risks of Male Rhinoplasty Surgery?

You will be thoroughly briefed about the possible complications before undergoing surgery to ensure that you fully understand the potential risks associated with a male rhinoplasty. Possible risks include but are not limited just to:

Change in skin sensation around the nose
Difficulty while breathing
Possibility of infection in the incision site
Perforation of the nasal septum
Poor wound healing or scarring
May require a revision surgery
Discoloration of the skin
Unsatisfactory result

When should I have a facelift?

There is no defined age that is best to undergo facelift surgery – we all age differently according to our genetics and environmental experiences such as sun exposure, skin care and smoking. Facelifts can be performed from early 40′s to late 70′s. Benefits usually last longer when a facelift is performed on a younger person who still have good skin elasticity.

How long will my facelift last?

Due to the natural ageing process and the effects of gravity. Facial ageing will unfortunately continue. With that being said, your face will always look younger than it did if you had never had a facelift done. Overall, this procedure tends to reset the clock, leading to a 10+ year advantage over individuals of the same age. If, over time, you would like an additional facelift, it is generally not as comprehensive as the initial surgery.

Will people be able to see that I’ve had a facelift?

After getting a facelift, many patients mention that their friends and family make remarks about how they look fresh and rested. People might ask if you have been away on holiday or if you’ve “changed something”. There is no characteristic look of a facelift. Forget about the problems with the old fashioned unnatural face lifts. Modern procedures are undetectable. The procedure simply restores your youthful look and no one will be able to tell you’ve had anything done. You’ll just look like a well-rested and fresh version of you.

Do you do fat transfer as part of a facelift?

Fat transfer are an integral component of any facelift surgery, to give complete rejuvenation of the face. The concept of the volumetric facelift, combines the benefit of restoring facial volume associated with ageing with fat injections combined with lifting and tightening the deeper facial structures with a SMAS facelift procedure. There are very few patients that don’t benefit from the addition of fat grafting as part of a facelift procedure.

Will I have any scars?

The incisions used during a facelift, will depend on the procedure and the technique used. For instance, the incisions made for a traditional facelift will differ from a short-scar facelift or midface lift. With incisions made in natural borders, hairlines, and folds, once fully healed, they will be barely noticeable. At first, they may be pink and slightly raised, but within the first few months, they will begin to quickly fade.

How quickly will stitches be removed? How quickly will I heal?

Once you leave the hospital, a follow-up appointment will be made within the first 7 days. At this time, Dr Turner will assess your wounds and remove stitches. After this step is completed, it’s recommended that you commence topical silicone ointment along the incision line. Overall, most patients look presentable after the first 2 weeks. The full healing time for soft tissue and skin will be around 6 months. Although scaring may be red and itchy at first, within the first few months, they’ll begin to lighten. After 1-2 years, they will soften and be barely noticeable.

How long will I need to take off work?

More patients can return to work after 2 weeks following surgery. Within the first 3 days, you will likely experience swelling, which then settles after approximately 1 week. Overall, the healing process is rapid, and you will be able to return to your regular routine within 2-3 weeks. At 2 weeks, for instance, you can generally begin to perform light exercise, gently increasing activity levels over 6 weeks.

Will I need a drain after my facelift?

Yes, in most cases. Drains are used to gather excessive fluid after a facelift procedure. Your drain will be removed the day after your procedure. If you’re having a short scar facelift in a limited area, you might not need a drain. Dr Turner will advise you before the procedure so you know exactly what to expect.

Do hairlines shift after a facelift?

During your consultation with Dr Turner we evaluate which incision placement is best suited for you. If you require a large amount of skin removal than an incision placed along the hair line will minimize any hairline shifts which are an unfortunate stigma of having a poorly executed facelift surgery.

Is it weird for a guy to get a nose job?

No, it is not weird to get a nose job as a guy as facial attractiveness is equally important to a man as it is to a woman. Gender plays no role in deciding whether or not anyone should get plastic surgeries.

Does a male nose job last forever?

Yes, results from a male nose job can last forever if it is done perfectly and you follow all the post-operative care instructions thoroughly and if you do not experience any physical injury to the nose.

What is a Greek nose?

A Greek nose is a perfectly straight nose that has very narrow nostrils.

What does bulbous nose mean?

A bulbous nose is a rare skin disorder that is characterized by a large, red, bumpy nose. It is medically known as rhinophyma.

At what age can you get a male rhinoplasty?

You should be over 16 years of age and your nose must have developed completely before you consider getting a rhinoplasty.

Does health insurance cover a nose job?

Most insurance companies do not cover surgery done for purely cosmetic reasons without any medical indications., If your surgery is conducted for a medical reason (such as breathing problems) medicare and your insurance company may cover you in part for the surgery depending on your insurance.
