Breakthroughs in science and technology have improved the success rate of many plastic surgery procedures, and in addition, have actually caused the costs to be reduced. This has allowed more and more people to be able to get cosmetic and practical plastic surgery done, as well as change the mentality when it comes to getting plastic surgery. This is why today, even men are now getting plastic surgery done, and one of the more popular procedures for men is male rhinoplasty.
Actually, there is technically nothing different between traditional rhinoplasty, and rhinoplasty for males, because the techniques, procedures, and tools used are exactly the same. What makes rhinoplasty for males different than traditional rhinoplasty, aside from the name, is the cosmetic preferences and styles employed between the two procedures. The style and aesthetic suggestions and changes done for rhinoplasty for males is designed specifically for men.
Women, for example, may choose to make the nostrils smaller, the nose bridge narrower, or just make the whole nose look smaller and feminine. Whereas men may want their noses to be larger and more pronounced, have more chiseled angles, and more. These are the aesthetic differences that make rhinoplasty for males different.
Before anything else, however, patients both men and women need to have a consultation with a surgeon first. The consultation allows the surgeon to give the patient an idea of what the procedure will do, and may even give the patient an idea what the end result of the procedure will be. But most important of all, consultations give patients and surgeons time to be comfortable with one another, and the idea of the procedure, which can prevent the need for a revision nose job in the future.
It is after this consultation that rhinoplasty can finally be done, a procedure which only lasts between 45 minutes to a few hours or so. Once the procedure is done, the patient should make sure to follow all the necessary precautions given by the surgeon. This is to make sure that the healing and recovery process goes smoothly and without a hitch.
