Male Rhinoplasty Safety
Safety is the foundation of male rhinoplasty. In Korea, accredited hospitals and board-certified surgeons adhere to strict standards. Preoperative assessments, including nasal airway evaluation and cardiovascular screening, tailor the plan to each patient.
An experienced surgeon balances aesthetic goals with structural safety. The male nose often seeks masculine lines, so grafting and supportive techniques are carefully planned. Risks such as infection, bleeding, numbness, and asymmetry are mitigated by sterile technique and meticulous suturing.
Nose Shaping Techniques
Male rhinoplasty emphasizes masculine contours while preserving natural appearance. Surgeons use dorsal augmentation or contouring with autologous cartilage rather than implants. Tip refinement targets strong, defined projection and a balanced nasal base.
Addressing nostril asymmetry involves precise alar base adjustments and careful suturing. Graft choices include septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or costal cartilage for durability. Modern Korean techniques pair 3D simulations with individualized plans.
Recovery and Aftercare
Initial swelling and mild bruising are common and gradually subside over weeks. A splint may be worn for 1 to 2 weeks, with activities restricted accordingly. Follow-up visits help ensure proper healing.
Breathing may be temporarily congested as tissues heal. Hydration, balanced nutrition, and gentle pain management support recovery. Aftercare reduces infection risk and helps refine the final shape.
