Outcomes of Male Rhinoplasty?
Male rhinoplasty addresses unique characteristics often found in male noses, such as a wider and higher nasal bridge. Common goals for male rhinoplasty include reducing the prominence of the nasal bridge, changing the nasal tip, and correcting asymmetries. However, the procedure is highly individualised. The surgeon will use specific techniques tailored to your concerns and goals.
The procedure can:
- Reduce the size and prominence of a wide or high nasal bridge
- Change the shape of the nasal tip
- Correct nasal asymmetries resulting from injuries or congenital issues
- Adjust the nose’s size and shape
- Address functional issues, such as breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum or other structural problems.
Asian Rhinoplasty with Dr Broadhurst
“I pride myself on the individual care and support I provide each of my patients. From your first consultation, I will work one-on-one with you to tailor a treatment plan to suit your body.”
Consultation
Your Initial Consultation
Before undergoing a male rhinoplasty, you will need to have an initial appointment to determine the factors that can affect the outcome of the procedure. Every procedure is different, which means the surgery will be specially tailored for you. You will need to discuss your medical history and any current medications you are taking. Additionally, you should express your concerns and reasons for wanting surgery, as well as your expected outcomes. This will help us develop a treatment plan that is suited to your needs and goals. During this meeting, Dr Broadhurst will explain the process of surgery and what to expect afterwards. You should then have a good understanding of what the process entails.
Your Second Consultation
Your second meeting will occur a few weeks before male rhinoplasty. This will be at one of our Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Hervey Bay, or Bundaberg locations. The purpose of this is to ensure you are prepared for surgery, confirm the details, and discuss the likely outcomes. It will also give you the chance to ask any further questions.
Dr Broadhurst will examine your nose to determine the exact areas to target. You will discuss the surgery to confirm any last details and ensure you have a full understanding of the process. After this meeting, you should have a clear idea of what to expect before and during surgery, as well as the aftercare and healing process. Dr Broadhurst welcomes any questions you may have about the surgery.
Procedure
What to expect during the procedure?
The surgery is performed under a general anaesthetic. We recommend that patients have someone there, usually a friend or family member, to make sure they get home safely.
During male rhinoplasty surgery, the surgeon will shape the nose by modifying the bones and cartilage. He will remove or add cartilage according to what was discussed during your consultation. Reduction rhinoplasty is when tissue is removed from the nose. Augmentation, on the other hand, adds volume to a certain area. For example, if the tip of your nose requires rebuilding, the surgeon may take a cartilage graft from a different area of the body. This is usually the rib or ear. Surgeons can use one of two methods when performing this surgery:
Male Open Rhinoplasty
Male open rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves making a small incision across the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils, to provide the surgeon with greater visibility and access to the underlying nasal structures. This approach allows for precise modifications to the bone and cartilage, making it particularly suitable for addressing complex issues such as significant reshaping or structural corrections. The procedure is tailored to change the nose’s appearance and function while maintaining a masculine aesthetic that harmonises with the patient’s overall facial features.
Male Closed Rhinoplasty
Male closed rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to alter the shape, size, or structure of a man’s nose using incisions made entirely inside the nostrils. This approach leaves no visible external scars and allows the surgeon to make necessary adjustments to the bone and cartilage. It is typically used for less complex changes and can address issues such as a prominent nasal bridge and minor asymmetries while maintaining a masculine appearance.
