Do men want a small nose?

La nose male is the carrier of myths. It is said that the larger the nose, the greater the size of the virile member of the person who wears it. Whether true or not, the nose oversized is a personality trait. Even actors like Adrien Brody or Gérard Depardieu owe a high percentage of their popularity to their noses. And although Tom Cruise was also catapulted to fame by the hand of a nose prominent, over the years he decided to have it operated. Like Cruise, many are the men who today want to carry out plastic surgeries in order to reduce the size or correct the shape of their nose.

La Rhinoplasty (cosmetic surgery of the nose) is second in the ranking of the most requested among men. The objective of this surgical intervention is to correct all the defects that affect the structures that make up the anatomy of the nose (defects of the skin, nasal bones, nasal cartilages, septum or some functional structures such as turbinates, which due to chronic functional problems, can also alter the shape of the nose)

When selecting, together with the plastic surgeon, the nose desired, some points must be taken into account: male structures are much larger and stronger than female ones, so they must be taken into account in order to avoid feminine results. In addition, the tip of the nose male is naturally very bulky and poorly defined.

The end result of a male rhinoplasty should be a nose with a harmonic tip, straight back, defined, projected and rotated enough to generate a maximum angle of 90 degrees between the nose and the upper lip.

All the rhinoplasty Male have the advantage of being carried out through the nostrils avoiding the risk of leaving external scars. Once the surgery is finished, the inflammatory process tends to be shorter than in women because there is less fragility in the skin capillaries. In the post-operative period, it is essential to apply ice for the first 48 to 72 hours, elevate the head of the bed as much as possible and perform nasal cleansing with applicators to avoid sneezing. The average disability is 4 days and the recovery period is 2 to 3 weeks. The final result can be appreciated just after the healing period of the nose. It can have a duration of 6 or 12 months.

Beyond the complexes and standards of beauty, the important thing is to recognize yourself in the mirror. If this implies a nose different from what has been given by nature, there is no reason to hesitate to carry out a rhinoplasty. However, if the decision does not come from a personal dilemma, it is best to take the time to think and accept yourself.
