Generally, there are two reasons that men have a nose job performed. Nose jobs are known in the world of plastic surgery as “Rhinoplasty.” The most common reason for a male nose job is the existence of some kind of structural problem with the nose that is affecting breathing. There are also many men who are unhappy with the shape of their nose. At certain times these two concerns overlap, as a nose that is inhibiting breathing is often not aesthetically pleasing.
It is hard to generalize rhinoplasty, as nasal surgeries can range from a minor reshaping to a complete reconstruction. If you are having breathing problems or are unhappy with the shape of your nose, you may wish to schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon near you. Depending on the problem or how much of a structural change you desire in your nose, rhinoplasty can cost from as little as 1,000 dollars to as much as 100,000 dollars. As with all plastic surgery operations, the cost is much higher in large, expensive cities like New York and Los Angeles. Plastic surgeons in these cities are generally more experienced, but you can often get a similar quality of work in a smaller city.
If you are having issues with the superficial shape of your nose, don’t be fooled into thinking that you’re being vain or egotistical. Very often, an oddly shaped nose can lead to a whole host of psychological issues. Therapy almost always ends up costing more than plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty can make your nose appear more masculine, sculpt excessively large noses, straighten your nose, fix a droopy nose, and much more. Remember that with rhinoplasty, you only require small, subtle changes. Many plastic surgeons “over-sculpt” the nose, which can lead to unhappiness with the shape in the future. The less work that is initially done, the more room there is for correction.
