Male rhinoplasty is currently a popular procedure for several reasons. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports that nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) was the most frequently performed cosmetic plastic surgery among men in 2015.
The first step in the process is a consultation with Dr. Ridgway, in which he will evaluate your facial structure and anatomy, establish your treatment goals, and devise the best treatment plan for you. For the actual procedure, Dr. Ridgway will administer either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. He will make an incision inside the nostrils (closed incision), which leaves no visible scarring, and reshape the bone and cartilage to create a more aesthetic nose, for more balance and harmony in your facial appearance. He will also address any structural issues that may have left you with difficulty breathing. When the reshaping is complete, he will redrape the skin and tissue of the nose and expertly close the incision.
After the surgery, a splint and bandages will be placed to support the nose during the healing process. Before you go home, you will receive detailed instructions about medications and post-operative care.
You can expect some bruising and swelling, which will subside in approximately two weeks. Keep your head elevated and relatively still during this period to minimize discomfort and promote healing. Most patients can return to work within ten days after surgery.
