3 Things to Consider Before Getting Rhinoplasty

The “nose job” or rhinoplasty is one of the top requested facial plastic surgeries in both men and women. In 2016, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported 223,018 procedures performed for nose reshaping in the U.S. While it can have a dramatic impact on the appearance of many people, helping them feel more confident, it is still a major decision and there are significant factors to consider. If you are thinking about undergoing rhinoplasty, here are three things you should consider.

Shape and Size

Just because a certain size or shape of nose looks attractive on one person, that does not mean it is right for your features. You want a nose that blends with your face and looks natural. An experienced facial plastic surgeon can help you find a nose shape that will complement your best features and look natural.

Age

Rhinoplasty is not a surgery that should be performed too early in a person’s life. Many teenagers may think they want to change their nose, but often it is best to wait until adulthood before making such a drastic change to their appearance. Consider waiting at least until your late teens before considering rhinoplasty.

Qualified Plastic Surgeon

The nose is the central feature of the face. You want a plastic surgeon that specializes in facial plastic surgery and rhinoplasty for the best results. Choose a qualified, experienced facial plastic surgeon that has proven results in this specialized procedure.

Rhinoplasty can have a positive impact on your appearance and self-confidence, but you want to make sure you consider all the factors before you choose this surgery. Take the time to research the procedure and the plastic surgeon you choose to ensure you get the results you desire.

Benefits of Male Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty or the “nose job” is a popular plastic surgery for men. Although women are more likely to have plastic surgery, more men are undergoing surgical options to improve their appearance. Rhinoplasty is one of the top cosmetic surgeries for men – having a drastic impact on their overall appearance. Here are some of the benefits of rhinoplasty for men.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most impactful facial changes that can be made through surgery. The nose is the center of the facial features, but it should not detract from the eyes, mouth or rest of the face. Nose surgery can ensure that all the features blend together for symmetry and balance, without the nose overpowering or causing distraction.

For most men, rhinoplasty has slightly different goals than for women. Women may want a smaller or more delicate nose, but that is not always the case with men. Men may want a nose that is more masculine or pronounced to fit into their features. If they do want a reduction of a nasal hump or drooping nasal tip, they still want to retain a strong masculine nose. Many men only want a crooked or broken nose fixed, without a change in size or overall shape.

A well-shaped nose can benefit the attractiveness for a man. Correcting imperfections can help blend this important feature into the face, while defining the nose can make the chin and jawline more prominent for a masculine appearance that is often desired by men.

Transforming the nose can boost the self-esteem and confidence of many men who are unhappy with their appearance. Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty can ensure that the surgery corrects issues while keeping the overall facial features in balance.
