Explore a common procedure that enhances your facial structure, improves breathing, and restores confidence—without compromising masculine identity.
Male rhinoplasty is a form of cosmetic surgery that reshapes the nose for both aesthetic and functional goals—specifically adapted to the facial shape and internal anatomy of male patients. The procedure may smooth a dorsal hump, narrow wide nostrils, improve symmetry, or straighten a deviated septum for better airflow.
Unlike general nose jobs, male rhinoplasty requires precise preservation of angular features, strong contours, and proportional sizing. Dr. Bailey customizes every surgery using surgical techniques that reflect your goals and support a natural-looking, masculine outcome.
Male rhinoplasty requires a distinct, patient-focused approach that respects the structure and character of masculine facial features. Dr. Virginia Bailey understands the cosmetic goals and unique anatomy of her rhinoplasty patients—whether addressing a crooked nose, correcting a previous rhinoplasty, or refining the internal structure for breathing improvements.
There are two primary surgical techniques used in male rhinoplasty: closed and open.
In the closed technique, all incisions are placed inside the nostrils, eliminating visible scarring. This method is preferred for subtle refinements and offers a shorter recovery period.
Open rhinoplasty involves an external incision across the columella and provides enhanced visibility of nasal structures. This technique is typically used for more complex reshaping, such as treating a broken nose or significant asymmetry. Dr. Bailey selects the best approach based on your goals, anatomy, and whether the nose surgery is reconstructive or cosmetic.
Successful male rhinoplasty should enhance facial harmony without compromising masculine character. Dr. Bailey avoids feminization by focusing on strong nasal lines and balanced contours that align with the broader facial shape typical in male patients. Whether you’re correcting a hump, asymmetry, or trauma from athletic activity, her goal is to deliver natural-looking results that reflect your identity and fit your unique nose shape.
Male rhinoplasty is a common procedure for men looking to improve nasal appearance or address internal structural issues. Dr. Bailey will assess each patient during a comprehensive consultation to ensure rhinoplasty surgery is the right fit for your anatomy, goals, and health profile.
Ideal candidates typically:
Healing speed, skin thickness, and age all play a role in rhinoplasty outcomes. Dr. Bailey considers these elements when evaluating candidates—particularly male patients whose nasal skin may be thicker or more prone to swelling. Your care team will guide you through each phase, from planning surgery to managing the days of recovery, ensuring a smooth experience that supports the best results possible.

Balancing the nose often involves enhancing the chin. Chin augmentation adds projection and structure, helping to create a more defined and harmonious facial profile when combined with rhinoplasty.
Upper or lower eyelid surgery is frequently paired with rhinoplasty to refresh the eyes and reduce signs of aging or fatigue, especially for patients seeking a more youthful and alert appearance.
Refining the jawline and reducing submental fullness (under the chin) can enhance the overall impact of a rhinoplasty. Neck liposuction offers a more sculpted, masculine contour when planned together.
To improve facial volume and definition, some patients consider fat transfer to areas like the cheeks or jaw. When paired with rhinoplasty, it enhances overall balance and restores a youthful look.
For many men, rhinoplasty delivers long-term satisfaction by improving both nasal appearance and breathing. Whether correcting past trauma or refining natural asymmetries, the procedure can boost confidence and enhance overall facial proportions when performed with a personalized approach.
Male rhinoplasty is typically performed once facial growth is complete—usually around age 17 or older. There’s no strict upper limit, but the ideal timing depends on your goals, anatomy, and health. Dr. Bailey evaluates each patient individually to determine the best time for surgery.
