Rhinoplasty for men is a specialized procedure that successfully balances your aesthetic goals, a masculine appearance, and the proportions of the male face. Male rhinoplasty should be performed by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon with expertise in helping men achieve a more balanced, masculine look. Male noses are typically larger, project further, and have a wider base. Men also have thicker cartilage and skin, so specialized techniques and careful surgical planning must be considered for optimal results.
At JanigaMDs, Dr. Janiga is a highly experienced plastic surgeon who offers several surgical options for our rhinoplasty patients, including:
Standard rhinoplasty can be performed in two different ways. Open rhinoplasty requires an external incision hidden under the nose to provide better visibility of the underlying nasal structures. This is often required for more complex cases and significant changes. With closed rhinoplasty, the inner structures are accessed through the nostrils with no outer incisions.
Functional rhinoplasty combines traditional rhinoplasty to address the different external areas of the nose to bring them into proportion with the rest of the face, with a septoplasty. Septoplasty is an internal nasal surgery performed to correct a deviated septum, which can make the nose crooked and cause breathing difficulties or prevent the sinuses from properly draining. When combined, these two options can improve nasal function while also enhancing the overall cosmetic appearance of the nose.
Tip-only rhinoplasty is a specialized procedure that refines the tip of your nose, reducing a bulbous tip or giving definition to a poorly defined tip. Because this is one of the most artistic procedures in plastic surgery, experience and an eye for the masculine profile are crucial for achieving optimal results.
Before receiving cosmetic nose surgery, patients will consult with Dr. Timothy Janiga at our Reno, NV, office. He will examine the patient’s medical history and discuss their concerns to determine the safest and most effective rhinoplasty technique for their customized procedure. In general, good candidates for rhinoplasty are healthy adults, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for their procedure.
Dr. Timothy Janiga is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience and countless patient success stories. His calm, expert, and meticulous approach has transformed the lives of both cosmetic and reconstruction patients, helping them feel good in their bodies. Dr. Janiga is an expert in all aspects of plastic surgery and specializes in cosmetic facial surgery, body contouring, and breast surgery.
Dr. Janiga performs rhinoplasty for men under general anesthesia at his JCAHO-accredited outpatient surgery center. Internal incisions will be made inside the nose, and if needed, in some men, an external incision will also be made at the base of the nose. The underlying cartilage and nasal bones are carefully reshaped, excess tissue is trimmed away, and the remaining cartilage is repositioned to achieve a more refined nose proportionate with the surrounding facial features. Cartilage grafts can be used in certain cases to target the nasal tip and dorsum if needed. This is a very advanced option, and if you need cartilage grafting, it is imperative that you work with an experienced plastic surgeon, as there will be a second site from which cartilage will need to be removed. Dr. Janiga will work very closely with you to help you achieve your desired look.
This facial surgery procedure takes approximately one to three hours, followed by 1-2 hours in a recovery team where patients are monitored by our surgical team. Then, you can return home with the help of a trusted friend or family member.
I had a deviated septum (and then some) from an old sports injury. […] I was able to breathe through both nostrils instantly after surgery. I had no idea how much the injury had been impacting my quality of sleep, exercise, and even just daily living. It has been so wonderful to have a functional nose, plus it looks lovely! Dr. Janiga did a skilled, subtle job. I still look like myself, and the nose really fits my face.
I have had an amazing experience as a patient with Dr. Janiga and his staff. I have been lucky to also have the opportunity to work with him. He is a very skilled surgeon and his results are incredible. Their scheduler, receptionists, nurses, all their staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.
Jennifer & Tim Janiga are the best in the business. I have been to many other docs who work in their field in my opinion they have no rival. Their excellence and dedication to their craft in medicine sets them apart alone. They further your experience with their genuine care to your individualized attention, taking the time to find out what you need and making sure you get all your answers. I always look forward to my time in their office. Do yourself a favor and book your next visit with them!
Patients should plan to take time off work and have someone available to assist them with chores and errands during the first few days of the recovery period. The majority of the recovery from rhinoplasty will occur in the first 2 weeks; after that, the rest of the swelling will gradually fade over a few months. Nasal splints are usually left in place for one week after your surgery. Once removed, you can return to work and light activities based on Dr. Janiga’s instructions. Dr. Janiga will prescribe pain medication and advise patients to avoid strenuous activities for up to two weeks. Contact sports like jujitsu will need to be avoided for much longer. Please discuss with Dr. Janiga your specific situation for working out so he can customize your recovery plan. Cold compresses, sleeping with your head elevated, and staying hydrated can also aid in a smooth recovery and proper healing.
Although most improvement can be seen immediately, patients will continue to see gradual improvements in their rhinoplasty as swelling reduces. Results will be fully developed in about six months and are permanent. Dr. Janiga’s eye for detail ensures that each patient’s nose fits seamlessly with their other facial features.
