Rhinoplasty for Men

Many men are reluctant to consider cosmetic surgery. The aesthetics industry is incorrectly perceived to be an exclusively feminine space. This perception comes from an inaccurate oversimplification of the facts. In truth, many men consider rhinoplasty for the same reason that women do: to correct cosmetic, functional or disfiguring issues with the nose. Rhinoplasty can also correct functional problems, such as those that may obstruct breathing. Insurance providers will sometimes cover surgery to improve airway patency. Many of Dr. Korman’s accomplished and illustrious male patients pursue rhinoplasty to solve cosmetic issues. Vanity is the sin of winners. Dr. Korman employs a practiced set of surgical techniques to either add (graft) or remove (excise) tissue form the nose in accordance with his own sound judgment and the patient’s aspirations. 

Some rhinoplasty patients wish to enhance their looks and yet maintain their ethnic appearance. In these cases, Dr. Korman is careful to fix the cosmetic issue without affecting the integrity of their ethnic essence. Dr. Korman is also proud to perform reconstructive rhinoplasty to aid survivors of life-changing trauma, such as cancer or facial damage due to injury. In fact, the very first recorded rhinoplasties in history were reconstructive in nature. Early nose jobs were devised in ancient India to repair the facial maimings which resulted from the evidently harsh criminal justice system of the era. Even the most stoic of men will admit that they tend to feel their best when they look good. The nose is the focal point of the face. Its size, shape and position can have an influential effect on how others perceive you, and how you perceive yourself.
