Male Rhinoplasty

Surgery is performed under general anesthesia. This ensures you sleep through the procedure without pain or discomfort. After surgery, Dr. Macias will make sure your healing process is comfortable by prescribing narcotic pain medications. Many patients are able to make the switch to over-the-counter painkillers during the first postoperative week.

Your male rhinoplasty in Marina del Rey requires a series of visits to Dr. Macias’ office. After completing your consultation and surgery, you will be asked to return for several follow-up sessions, which allow the doctor to review your incisions and monitor your healing progress.

While you will see the beginnings of a more refined, contoured nasal appearance soon after your surgery, it can take some time for all residual swelling to fade. The full healing process can take up to one year after rhinoplasty, so don’t judge your final outcome too hastily.

Closed rhinoplasty is considered “scarless”, as incisions are placed inside the nostrils. With open rhinoplasty, you may have a tiny scar across the columella at the base of the nose, but this incision line is typically only noticeable to you and the doctor.

Our male patients in Los Angeles usually find they can resume normal activities within 4-6 weeks after surgery. However, each person is unique, and Dr. Macias will have the final say on returning to strenuous activities.
