Male Rhinoplasty in Spring, TX

Male rhinoplasty, or cosmetic nose surgery, is performed to alter the size or shape of the nose for men. In many cases, it can also help improve breathing function for those who have a deviated septum or narrow nostrils. Dr. Younghoon Cho is an experienced cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon who has performed nose surgeries for many years. He focuses on the unique concerns of his patients and takes a subtle approach to allow for stunning, natural-looking results. Although rhinoplasty consists of delicate changes, the outcomes are often surprisingly dramatic. This surgery at Chiseled can help to improve a nose that is aesthetically unappealing due to size, shape, or a deformity. The goal is to create a more attractive-looking nose that meets your goals and that functions well. To learn more, call Chiseled in Spring, TX to set up a private consultation with Dr. Cho today.

Your nose, at the center of your face, can drastically alter the way you look. Rhinoplasty in Spring, TX at Chiseled can have a number of beautifying and productive perks, which include:

• Decreasing or growing the measurements of your nose
• Shrinking the tip of the nose
• Shrinking your nasal bridge
• Reconstructing the nostrils
• Bettering general balance for a more symmetrical appearance
• Correcting a deviated septum
• Optimizing nasal pathways for easier breathing

Ideal candidates for male rhinoplasty surgery are generally in good health and understand the risks, recovery time, and costs associated with the procedure. They should also have realistic expectations about what we can accomplish. Dr. Cho can determine your eligibility during a private consultation. This appointment is especially important for men under the age of 21 since their noses may still be developing. Additionally, any facial surgery can cause significant changes to your appearance and should not be undertaken lightly. We recommend that you consider your decision carefully before pursuing cosmetic nose surgery.

During rhinoplasty, we put patients under IV sedation or general anesthesia. This procedure is considered outpatient surgery. Rhinoplasty has varying surgical techniques depending on what you want addressed, and Dr. Cho performs this surgery with either an open or closed technique. The goal during treatment is to reduce excess tissue and cartilage or to build and increase cartilage if needed for reshaping. The nose is repositioned and the skin is draped over the newly enhanced framework. Stitches are implemented either on the inside portion of the nose or along the natural external crease.

Upon completion of your cosmetic nose surgery, we'll monitor you closely for a short time and then our nurses will release you to recover at home. The area around your nose will be very swollen and bruised for the first few days. Almost all patients experience bruising and discoloration beneath their eyes as well. Ice packs and prescription medication can help minimize these effects. Typically, your post-operative appointment with Dr. Cho will be scheduled for the day after surgery. On average, it takes about 4 – 6 weeks to recover from rhinoplasty. 

Are there nonsurgical options to change my nose?
If you want to want to make minor cosmetic improvements to your nose, a wrinkle filler (like Restylane or JUVÉDERM) may be an option. A filler can temporarily help add volume to smooth out concave scars, address an asymmetrical ridge, or correct deformed nostrils. Making minor enhancements with a filler can also help you decide whether to proceed with surgery. Rhinoplasty is better for larger changes, long-lasting results, and to adjust the internal structure of the nose for better function. At your consultation, Dr. Cho can let you know if you're a candidate for nonsurgical nose reshaping.

What about ethnic rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty focuses on improving the appearance of the nose while still keeping your cultural identity. This may be a consideration if you are African American, Asian, or Middle Eastern. During your consultation with Dr. Cho, you can talk about what you like about your nose and what you want to change. This will allow him to customize your treatment plan so you get your best results.

Can I combine nose surgery with other facial surgeries?
Many patients consider combining nose surgery with another procedure, like cheek augmentation or a lip lift. You can discuss having multiple surgeries for a dramatic result during your initial consultation with Dr. Cho. Once he understands your goals, he can help you decide what procedures to include in your custom treatment plan. Rhinoplasty can often help make your whole face appear more balanced, so you may want to wait to see your results before getting another procedure.

How much does rhinoplasty cost?
The cost of nose reshaping surgery varies based on what technique is used and the complexity of the procedure. Before estimating costs, Dr. Cho will listen to your concerns and goals to help develop your custom treatment plan. When this is complete, he can discuss costs for the facility, anesthesia, and more. To get the best results, it's better to focus on selecting an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Cho, instead of the cheapest cost. To help make your surgery easy to afford, Chiseled accepts many payment methods, and we can help you find low-interest medical financing.

Will my insurance cover functional nose surgery?
Although rhinoplasty to improve your appearance is not paid for by insurance, functional rhinoplasty that is medically necessary to improve your breathing may be covered. If you may be applying for reimbursement from your insurance, please tell Dr. Cho during your consultation. We can help you submit any needed paperwork and information to your insurance to properly process your claim.

What are the key considerations for male rhinoplasty?
Key considerations for male rhinoplasty include preserving or enhancing nasal masculinity, maintaining adequate nasal projection and width, avoiding over-reduction of the nasal dorsum to prevent a feminized appearance, and addressing functional concerns such as nasal obstruction or breathing difficulties.

Nose surgery is a great solution to address various cosmetic or functional concerns. If you're dissatisfied with the size and shape of your nose or if you suffer from breathing issues, then nose surgery may help. Rhinoplasty is a very common cosmetic procedure with high success rates, especially when performed by a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Cho. Even small adjustments can lead to a huge difference.
