An Overview of Male Rhinoplasty
What the Procedure Is
Male rhinoplasty is a surgery that changes the shape and structure of the nose. It can smooth a dorsal bump, straighten post-injury changes, refine the tip of the nose, or improve asymmetry while maintaining proportion with the rest of the face.
How Reshaping Works
During surgery, Dr. Lozada reshapes bone and cartilage to adjust projection, width, alignment, and tip definition. Each change supports the proportions established during your consultation.
What Makes It Male-Specific
Male rhinoplasty uses the same core surgical principles as other rhinoplasty procedures. The planning centers on your existing features, facial proportions, and preferences. Dr. Lozada tailors the surgical plan around your goals.

Benefits of Treatment
A Pre-Treatment Visualization of Results
Vectra 3D imaging creates a visual reference for discussing proposed changes before surgery. You and Dr. Lozada can compare several views and agree on the direction and degree of refinement.
A Technique Chosen for You
Dr. Lozada performs both endonasal, or closed, rhinoplasty and open rhinoplasty. He selects the approach based on the access, visibility, and structural work your operation requires.
One Surgery, Both Goals
Addressing structural and breathing concerns in a single procedure can mean skipping a second surgery down the road.

Our Process
Consultation
Your first visit runs about 30 minutes and covers your goals, your anatomy, and proposed results shown through Vectra 3D imaging. You leave with a surgical quote and no pressure to decide that day.
Pre-Op Visit
About 30 days before surgery, you return for a preoperative visit to review recovery instructions and pick up any medications you need for surgery day.
Surgery and Early Recovery
Rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can leave the hospital the same day as your surgery to recover in the comfort of your own home. Swelling and bruising peak during the first week, and most patients resume normal routines as that swelling improves.
