Men and Nose Jobs: part 1

Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose. The procedure can make the nose larger or smaller; change the nose angle, alter the tip of the nose; or correct bumps, indentations, or any other defects in or around the nose.

Popularity of Rhinoplasty among men has been steadily increasing over the years and gained wider acceptance in North America. Although cosmetic surgery was once the domain of female only, this has changed over the past 2 decades. The number of cosmetic procedures being performed on males is fast catching up. At least 2-3 million males have undergone some type of plastic procedure in the past 2 years- and like their female counterparts- males also undergo very similar procedures.

For men, rhinoplasty is the second most popular plastic surgery procedure, behind liposuction.

Men suddenly want to get plastic surgery for several reasons. They all want to look handsome and appealing. The other reasons include the availability of more minimally invasive methods of surgery- thus less time off work and less prominent incisions. Also, today, there are a lot more cosmetic surgeons and the prices are affordable. No longer is cosmetic surgery only for Hollywood. Other reasons for the rhinoplasty may be due to the number of nasal injuries men suffer- whether from sports or trauma.

Finally, today’s aesthetic Corporate world also demands that men look appealing and successful. Many older men feel that it when it comes to position or promotion in a company, a younger person is always favored. Thus, cosmetic surgery is one way to try and level the playing field.

Rhinoplasty is almost always done to make the nose look better. The surgery can alter the shape, contour and angle of the nose and in most cases; it brings about a pleasing change to the face. The majority of men love looking good.
