To make you feel better about yourself, people may say that a large nose adds character and makes you unique.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common male cosmetic surgery performed today. It can be done in an outpatient surgery, or in a hospital. You will either be under local or general anesthesia, depending on your surgeon who does your nose surgery.

If you have the operation done with a local anesthetic, you will be sedated and your nasal area will be numbed. There is no pain involved and will recover quicker. General anesthesia is done in an operating theatre and you will take some time to recover.

Rhinoplasty surgery involves the skin of the nose being separated from the bone and the cartilage. The amount of reduction is determined before surgery takes place. Most surgeons make the incision inside the nostrils where no scarring will be visible.

Expect some swelling and bruising around your nose and eyes. You must attend subsequent appointments to ensure that healing is going well.
