Over the last decade, the popularity of male rhinoplasty procedures for aesthetic reasons has increased among men. They seem to be more and more concerned about their looks and even opt for plastic surgeries to become more handsome.

Male rhinoplasty is much the same as female rhinoplasty except for the fact that the nose is shaped to look masculine rather than feminine. Even ethnic male rhinoplasty does not involve any special procedure. The main difference between male and female rhinoplasty procedures is that while women expect to have smaller noses after such an operation, most men are more interested in shape than in size.

Male facial features are firmer and require a similar nose to balance them, and that is why a man with a button-like nose on his face will hardly look handsome. This is the reason why men usually expect an improvement in the contour of the nose without losing the characteristic feature of it. They want to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing nose, usually by reshaping the nose to make it appear less prominent.

Reshaping might mean a reduction in width but rarely in length; the Los Angeles rhinoplasty surgeon may be asked to smooth the bridge of the nose and reshape the cartilage but he will rarely change the profile, unless it is crooked. This is the reason why male rhinoplasty is considered to be easier from the surgeon’s aspect. On the other hand, when bones are involved, things become a bit different. Men’s bones are tougher and thus the nose surgery can become more traumatic for a man – there will be more serious swelling afterwards and probably more broken blood vessels.
