Male rhinoplasty is the same as female rhinoplasty except for the fact that the nose is shaped to look masculine rather than feminine. Even ethnic male rhinoplasty (such as an Asian male rhinoplasty) does not involve any special procedure. Ethnic rhinoplasty just refers to trends rather than any plastic surgery technique. For example, Asian or African-American rhinoplasty refers to the fact that a rhinoplasty is a popular option for both groups.

Rhinoplasty is for those who are looking to change the appearance of their nose due to cosmetic reasons, breathing problems, and/or some sort of trauma. Sometimes a male rhinoplasty procedure is combined with other plastic surgery to give the face a more symmetrical look. Although less common, sometimes a rhinoplasty is done just to improve breathing (also known as reconstructive rhinoplasty).

Keep in mind that the best male rhinoplasty is not one, which only focuses on the cosmetic side of the nose job. What good is a nose job if, after it, you have trouble breathing? If you do not like the shape of your nose you may have to lower your expectations in regards to how extensive your nose is going to change. Sometimes the amount of change the surgeon can do is limited by weak cartilidge or thin nasal passages.

When looking for a plastic surgery clinic, which offers rhinoplasty, make sure that you are dealing with an ASPS Member Surgeon. This ensures quality standards as outlined by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. For example, you’ll be guaranteed to get a surgeon with at least 5 years of training and 2 years worth of in field experience.

What is the estimated cost of male rhinoplasty? A procedure will set you back around $4,000-$7,000 with the average cost for a procedure being around $4,000. The less extensive your male nose job is, the less you’ll have to pay. Also, the less experience the doctor has, the less you’ll have to pay. Although the estimated numbers certainly don’t spell as cheap procedure, you can get financing through cosmetic finance companies such as CareCredit, your credit card, or even the clinic itself. You can also look into cash-out-refinancing, a home equity loan, and a home equity line of credit .

When can you expect your nose to look normal again with any signs that you had a nose job done? Although the length of time will differ depending on the complexity of the rhinoplasty, you can expect to get your new and improved nose visible in about 1 month.
