Guys don't get nose jobs ... do they? Oh, yes, they do. In fact, male rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures for men these days and for a variety of reasons.
Men face the same societal images that women do every day. They see the chiseled jaws, full lips and strong noses of male celebrities and models on the covers of their favorite magazines and in the movies. As a result, more and more men seek the services of plastic surgeons and skin specialists to mend the little imperfections of their face.
The nose is the most prominent feature of the face and men tend to want a stronger more masculine look that projects power and confidence. They are different from women in this respect because women tend to desire a more petite more feminine look.
But, like women, a tiny change in facial features can give a man self-confidence that can improve all aspects of his personal and professional life. Whatever changes are made, the key is sculpting the shape to fit the face.
Too many fistfights or baseballs to the face during your childhood may have left you crooked or lumpy looking. The crooked broken look may have been a badge of honor or added to a tough guy persona, but the growing acceptance of cosmetic changes for men has changed public perception.
Today's man is much more concerned about his appearance and the visual impression he makes in the work force and on the dating scene. Crooked and bumpy is not the kind of look that goes with a suit and tie.
Aesthetics are not the only reason for male rhinoplasty. Breathing problems as a result of an obstruction or a malformation of the nose are corrected through surgery as well. Of course, this sometimes helps the appearance, but the improved breathing is the real improvement.
A deviated septum is a common problem that complicates breathing. The septum is the wall of cartilage and bone separating the nostrils. Other problems include thickened lining or septum, malformations and enlarged nasal structures.
So, exactly what changes can be made through rhinoplasty? Your surgeon can make the nose smaller in width and length. The tip can be sculpted or lifted and the nostrils can be reshaped if they are too big or small. Bumps and crooks can also be fixed to improve the line and give a straighter profile.
As with any surgery, thoroughly research your plastic surgeon. Does he have experience in performing male rhinoplasty? Chances are good he will since the number of men seeking this procedure grows every year- as much as 20% from 2005 and 2006, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Look at before and after pictures of other men who have had the surgery, and tell your doctor in clear terms what you want.
If you thought there was no hope and that cosmetic surgery was just for women, think again. Look into it and see if male rhinoplasty is right for you. It just might change your life.
