Male Rhinoplasty in San antonio, TX
San Antonio Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jose Barrera, MD specializes in rhinoplasty surgery, revision rhinoplasty, preservation rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, Hispanic rhinoplasty, Asian rhinoplasty, sinus/nasal surgery, and more. Male rhinoplasty is different than rhinoplasty for women in several ways. First, men prefer a straight profile or dorsum. In ethnic rhinoplasty patients, some men even prefer a slight dorsal convexity to maintain their masculine features. In order to achieve a strong profile, Dr. Barrera employs cartilage technique, bone refinement using osteotomies, and limited nasal tip cartilage removal. Second, most men stay away from a pointy nasal tip. Over resection of the nasal tip can lead to a feminine nose and nasal obstruction. Special attention is placed on making sure the nasal tip support and strength are maintained or enhanced. Third, most male rhinoplasty patients also need considerable septoplasty in order to improve breathing. Sports injuries and trauma to the nose are especially common in men. Therefore, improving a deviated septum, reducing turbinates and nasal tissue, and supporting the nasal valve are necessary in most male septorhinoplasty patients.

What is the goal of male Nose Job Surgery?
Rhinoplasty improves symmetry and augments the nose when the nose has suffered overresection, or secondary obstruction from previous nose job surgery. Male rhinoplasty San Antonio specialist Dr. Barrera performs revision in noses often lacking projection due to a lack of cartilage support in the septum and dorsum of the nose. Using cartilage grafting from either costal or rib cartilage or auricular (ear) cartilage, the nose can be projected in lacking areas such as the glabella (between the eyes) and dorsum of the nose. Tip symmetry can be further obtained through aligning the domes of the nasal tip (alar cartilages). Dr. Barrera only uses natural cartilage to perform rhinoplasty San Antonio surgeries. Our approach provides natural integration of our cartilage grafts which both enhances the nose and provides long-lasting results.
