What is Rhinoplasty?

A Chicago's male rhinoplasty or “nose job” is a surgical procedure to address the aesthetics or function of the nose. People commonly pursue a nose job to change the way that their nose looks, for example, to reduce a nasal hump, or to correct nostril asymmetry. Sometimes patients want to preserve the aesthetics of their nose but have trouble breathing which can be addressed as well. Sometimes, patients report having trouble with their nasal function but also want to address the appearance of their nose.

These patients benefit from a surgery called a septorhinoplasty that can be performed to correct breathing problems and address cosmetic concerns at the same time. The nose is a very prominent facial feature and should be in proportion with other features like the eyes, cheeks, and chin. No matter what kind of rhinoplasty procedure patients are looking for, it’s important to find a surgeon who has expertise providing a natural result.

What will happen during a septorhinoplasty procedure?

During septorhinoplasty, incisions are placed just inside the nostril on its lower edge and sometimes across the skin between the nostrils. The soft tissues of the nose are then carefully separated from the underlying cartilages and bone. Bone and cartilage are appropriately reoriented to give a balanced harmonious appearance to the nose and face while preserving or improving nasal breathing.

What's the Difference Between Male and Female Rhinoplasty?

Although the general surgical techniques are similar for male and female rhinoplasty patients, the aesthetic goals are very different. Men usually desire a stronger, more prominent bridge than women. They also have wider noses and thicker skin, which should be taken into consideration. Male noses typically have a sharply defined and more angular tip and greater overall nasal projection. Dr. Sidle takes all of these factors into account while creating a customized treatment plan for each of his male patients. Although male and female aesthetics are different, every surgery should be completely tailored to each individual patient, regardless of their gender. Dr. Sidle takes great care to consider each male’s innate anatomy in order to provide his patients with the most natural result possible.
