Achieve a stronger, more balanced facial appearance with male rhinoplasty at New York Group for Plastic Surgery. This procedure treats cosmetic and functional concerns like a dorsal hump, wide nostrils, or breathing issues. Dr. Jordan M.S. Jacobs specializes in refining nasal structure while preserving a distinctly masculine look tailored to your goals.
Enhance Facial Balance With a Masculine Profile
Male rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to enhance facial harmony while maintaining masculine features. It can address cosmetic concerns, such as a crooked bridge, wide nostrils, or an overly prominent tip, as well as functional issues, including breathing problems caused by a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse. Unlike female rhinoplasty, this procedure emphasizes stronger, sharper nasal contours that align with masculine aesthetics.
You May Consider Male Rhinoplasty If:
- You have a prominent dorsal hump that disrupts your masculine profile
- You feel your nose is too narrow or wide for your facial structure
- You have a drooping or overly rounded nasal tip that softens your appearance
- You want to correct a crooked or asymmetrical nose from injury or genetics
- You want to enhance your nose to better match a chiseled jawline
Your Male Rhinoplasty Options At NYGPS
At the New York Group for Plastic Surgery, we offer two advanced surgical techniques for male rhinoplasty, each tailored to your specific goals, anatomy, and desired outcome. Dr. Jacobs will guide you through these options during your consultation.
Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty is performed through incisions placed entirely within the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. This is best suited for men seeking minor to moderate refinements, such as narrowing the nasal bridge, adjusting nostril shape, or addressing internal breathing issues. Recovery is typically faster than open rhinoplasty, with less swelling and bruising. Dr. Jacobs uses this technique when the nasal structure permits precise internal modifications.
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision at the base of the columella, allowing full access to the underlying nasal structure. This is ideal for men who require more extensive reshaping of the nasal bridge, correction of asymmetry, or significant refinement of the tip. With enhanced visibility, Dr. Jacobs can make highly detailed adjustments to both the bone and cartilage, ensuring a natural, masculine result that aligns with your facial proportions.
Explore Your Options & Visualize the Results
Your consultation for male rhinoplasty begins with an in-depth discussion with Dr. Jacobs. He will review your medical history, ask about any breathing difficulties, and listen closely to your aesthetic goals—whether you’re concerned about a dorsal hump, a drooping tip, or overall nasal symmetry. A physical examination of your nose, including both external features and internal structures, allows him to assess cartilage, bone alignment, and airway function.
To ensure your goals align with realistic outcomes, Dr. Jacobs uses Vectra XT 3D imaging. This tool captures high-resolution images of your face, allowing you to preview your surgical options. Based on these visual simulations and your preferences, Dr. Jacobs will design a personalized surgical plan that enhances your features while preserving a natural, masculine profile.
Your Male Rhinoplasty Session
On the day of surgery, you’ll be placed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort. Dr. Jacobs will begin by following the surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and goals. If you’re undergoing a closed rhinoplasty, he will make incisions inside the nostrils to access the underlying bone and cartilage. If an open rhinoplasty is needed, he will make a small incision across the columella—the tissue between the nostrils—for greater visibility and precision.
Dr. Jacobs will then carefully reshape your nasal framework. This may involve reducing a dorsal hump using a surgical rasp, refining the nasal tip by reshaping or repositioning the lower lateral cartilages, or correcting a deviated septum to improve airflow. If necessary, cartilage grafts may be taken from your septum to support the nasal structure. Once the modifications are complete, all incisions are closed, and a nasal splint is applied to maintain alignment.
The Recovery Process After Male Rhinoplasty
You can expect mild to moderate swelling, bruising around the eyes, nasal congestion, and a feeling of tightness for the first few days. Dr. Jacobs will place a splint over your nose to protect its new shape, and internal splints or soft packing may be used if functional corrections were made. Most patients can return to light daily activities within 7 to 10 days.
To support optimal healing, you’ll need to keep your head elevated, avoid blowing your nose, and refrain from strenuous activities or exercise for about 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Jacobs will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress, remove any splints or sutures, and ensure your results are on track. While initial changes are visible early, final refinement can take several months.
