Male Plastic Surgery: Natural and Stylish

In the past, when people thought of the word “plastic surgery,” it was considered something that applied only to women. But in modern times, men have also become more interested in aesthetics, so interest in male plastic surgery has increased. In particular, because the nose is located at the center of the face and is one of the most three-dimensional areas, rhinoplasty is especially popular. Even a small change in the shape of the nose can have a major effect on improving one’s appearance.

For that reason, the types of noses seen in men seeking male plastic surgery include low noses, wide noses, crooked noses with a dorsal hump, upturned noses, or drooping noses. In many cases, the shape of the nose is not straight or well balanced, so an aesthetic approach is given priority in order to improve it.

However, our nose plays an important external role while also functioning as an organ responsible for breathing and the sense of smell. Therefore, before proceeding with male plastic surgery, surgery should be performed while considering whether there are any functional issues as well. This can help prevent revision surgery caused by postoperative functional problems.

In addition, when surgery is performed with functional considerations in male plastic surgery, a representative symptom can be nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis includes allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis caused by abnormalities in the internal structure of the nose. In the case of allergic rhinitis, which is what most people commonly know, it appears in response to certain substances or weather changes, so a cure through surgery is difficult. Improving immunity and medication treatment should be prioritized.

On the other hand, structural rhinitis, which can be improved through surgery, may be caused by a deviated septum, hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate, nasal valve stenosis, or a combination of these symptoms. In the case of men, compared with women, they relatively enjoy leisure activities or intense exercise, so there are many cases in which trauma leads to functional problems. For this reason, it is necessary to accurately identify the cause before proceeding with male plastic surgery.

Therefore, if you are considering male plastic surgery, it is better not to judge only by before-and-after rhinoplasty photos. Instead, carefully check whether functional issues are also evaluated during surgery, whether the clinic has ample experience and expertise, whether the medical team has a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare is reliably guaranteed before making your choice.

At Ojiko Hospital & N Plus Clinic, when performing male plastic surgery, the current condition of the nose is accurately diagnosed through preoperative 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests. Based on the extracted data, the surgery is carried out to provide a safer and more satisfactory rhinoplasty.

On average, male rhinoplasty corrects the bridge of the nose using silicone and the tip of the nose using autologous cartilage. Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. The criteria for selecting autologous cartilage involve choosing the material most suitable for the individual's current condition based on preoperative examinations.

In the case of silicone, the implant used for the nasal bridge is not simply a pre-made commercial silicone product. Instead, it is carefully refined by hand to match the individual's overall image and the bridge's width, length, depth, and height, allowing the design of a nasal bridge line suited to each person's face.

In particular, for male plastic surgery, the preference is for a straight, high, and masculine image, which is clearly different from the slightly curved, straight-slightly-curved lines often preferred by women. Therefore, it is important to make sure the line is differentiated.

At Ojiko Hospital & N Plus Clinic, to ensure safe and satisfying male plastic surgery, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles every step one-on-one, from consultation related to nose surgery to surgical planning, the procedure itself, treatment, and follow-up visits. This allows patients to proceed with confidence from before surgery through aftercare.

The aftercare provided after surgery includes a one-year warranty service and a surgical responsibility guarantee system designed to prepare for all possible situations, such as postoperative pain, inflammation, and dissatisfaction with the shape. This means you can receive thorough follow-up care even after the surgery.
