Male Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance and function of the nose. Rhinoplasty is popular among men who want to improve their facial balance and confidence. Dr. Azouz, a board-certified plastic surgeon, delivers exceptional results that are tailored to each patient’s specific aesthetic goals.
The nose is essential in shaping a male facial profile because its size, shape, and proportions can have a significant impact on overall facial aesthetics. The impact of nasal anatomy on a man’s appearance is influenced by a variety of factors.
The nasal bridge, which runs from the brow to the tip of the nose, determines the height of the nose and can influence the prominence of the midface. A straight and well-defined bridge can draw attention to masculine features, whereas a hump or deviation can create imbalance.
The nasal tip, which is located at the lower end of the nose, helps to define and refine the face. A bulbous or drooping tip can detract from facial symmetry, whereas a well-contoured and slightly upturned tip can be more attractive.
The width of the nose, which is determined by the position of the nasal bones and the sides of the nostrils, or the nasal ala, impacts the lateral profile of the face. A harmonious and proportionate nasal width can enhance other facial features, whereas an excessive width can dominate the overall appearance.
Taking these factors into account, a male nose job can effectively address nasal irregularities, resulting in a more balanced and appealing facial profile for men who want to feel more confident about their appearance.
Candidates for Surgery
Men considering rhinoplasty should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and have a thorough understanding of the surgical procedure. Candidates can include men who are unhappy with the shape or size of their nose, have breathing difficulties due to nasal irregularities, or have suffered nasal trauma or injury.

Rhinoplasty for Men
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Solomon Azouz approaches male rhinoplasty in a personalized manner, taking into account each patient’s unique facial anatomy and desired outcomes. Depending on the complexity of the case, the procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery under local anesthesia.
Incisions in a rhinoplasty are typically made inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils (open rhinoplasty). Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible external scarring because all incisions are hidden within the nasal passages. Open rhinoplasty, on the other hand, may result in a small, well-hidden scar on the columella, which usually fades over time and becomes discreet, providing minimal scarring.
Dr. Azouz carefully shapes the bone and cartilage during surgery to achieve the desired shape and size. Cartilage grafts may be used in some cases to augment specific areas or improve structural support.
Anesthesia Used During Surgery
Male rhinoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, which ensures the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. During the pre-operative consultation, Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz will discuss the best anesthesia option based on the patient’s health and the extent of the surgery.
Risks of Surgery
Male rhinoplasty, like any surgical procedure, carries risks such as infection, bleeding, an adverse reaction to anesthesia, or scarring. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz advises following all pre-and post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and avoid complications.
Recovering from a Male Rhinoplasty Surgery
The recovery period after a male rhinoplasty is critical because it allows the body to heal and adapt to the surgical changes. Discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the nose and eyes are common in the immediate postoperative period. Dr. Azouz will prescribe pain medication and recommend cold compresses to alleviate these symptoms. It is also recommended to keep the head elevated for the first few days to help with swelling. Strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for a few weeks to avoid complications. The majority of the swelling will go away within a few weeks, but residual swelling may last for several months, gradually revealing the final results. Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor progress and provide postoperative care instructions.
Other Surgeries That Can Be Combined
Male rhinoplasty can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Commonly combined surgeries include a facelift, eyelid surgery, a brow lift, a neck lift, and fat grafting.
