Men's surgery
Men's rhinoplasty
A male nose should run straight from bridge to tip rather than curving as a female nose does. Epic raises the bridge enough to balance the more prominent male brow and extends the tip for a straight line, accounting for thicker skin and a wider dorsum.
Who it suits
- Low bridge relative to a prominent brow ridge
- Want a straight, masculine nasal line
- Short or over-upturned tip
Technique highlights
- Straight line designed from glabella to tip
- Height calculated against male facial structure
- Suited to thicker skin and a wider male dorsum
Surgical steps
- One-to-one consultation and facial analysis with the specialist surgeon before an individual plan is drawn up.
- Anaesthesia: sleep sedation. The procedure itself takes 1-1.5 hours.
- The board-certified plastic surgeon performs the operation personally throughout.
- Recovery is monitored on site and you go home the same day — no inpatient stay.
Recovery & aftercare
- Sutures and dressings: splint off day 4, sutures out day 7.
- Follow-up visits: 3 visits.
- Back to daily life in about 7 days. Cold compresses for the first 2-3 days and sleeping with the head elevated reduce swelling.
Risks & things to consider
- Results depend on each patient's anatomy, skin condition and aftercare, so identical outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
- Stop smoking, alcohol and blood-thinning medication before and after surgery as instructed by your doctor.
- Disclose all previous surgery, medical conditions and drug allergies at the consultation.
