Male Rhinoplasty
Premier Houston Rhinoplasty Surgeon Dr. Michel Siegel
Male Rhinoplasty when performed correctly, will be based upon a full understanding of the differences between male and female noses. While each patient is approached as a unique case, there are certain characteristics that are subconsciously associated with a male nose and should be incorporated into a customized rhinoplasty surgical plan.
Note: Dr. Siegel specializes in preservation and ultrasonic rhinoplasty, both of which produce superior results. He is one of the few surgeons in the US experienced in these types of rhinoplasty. Find out more.

Creating a Masculine Nose with Rhinoplasty
While many plastic surgeons perform nose surgery on women, Dr. Siegel is known as the “go-to” for male patients seeking nose reshaping in Houston. Men, to retain a strong, masculine look, will require a very different surgical approach. Rather than creating a very sculptured look, the nose should bring strength and balance to the other appealing male features. Dr. Siegel is a very talented facial plastic surgeon who is known for his artistic eye and outstanding surgical abilities in this customized surgery.
What Makes A Nose Appear More Masculine?
- Tip Rotation: Less upturned (less rotated tips), or straighter tips are perceived more masculine.
- Tip Projection: Shorter noses on men should be avoided as they tend to be perceived as more feminine
- Nose Bridge: Straight or slightly full bridges appear more masculine.
- Nose Width: The width of the bridge should not be made too thin, and the tip should not appear excessively sculpted, as these are associated with a more feminine nose appearance.
These are only general guidelines, and any of these changes, among many other critical details, should be performed with meticulous attention to detail to achieve the most attractive outcome for the individual man’s facial proportions.
All changes to the nose structure made in a male rhinoplasty must create balance with the other facial features, while retaining a masculine look. Taking a man’s individual proportions and facial features into account are critical in achieving a natural and balanced outcome.
Male Rhinoplasty Before & After
Why Have a Rhinoplasty?
Many men are unhappy with their nose appearance. The issues that they want to resolve include:
- Hump on nose bridge
- Hanging nose tip
- Bulbous nose tip
- Uneven or oddly-shaped nose tip
- Broken nose
- Crooked nose
- Overly wide or misshapen nostrils
- Broad bridge
- Narrow bridge
- Pinched tip
- Pointed nose
The Right Nose for a Male Face
A reshaped nose should be a real enhancement for the other features, allowing the eyes of others to notice attractive features such as eyes, chin, brows, and smile. It is an unfortunate fact that an unsightly, overlarge nose is the first thing noticed when meeting others. Why not look your best? Some men may choose a chin enhancement along with rhinoplasty to create more facial balance.
What Should I Expect When Having Male Nose Surgery?
Planning surgery requires setting aside time for recovery, generally about one week off work. Prior to your surgery, arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home after surgery, fill all prescriptions, purchase simple-to-prepare meals, and arrange your resting areas, whether bed or recliner, with everything you need at close hand.
You will be under anesthesia and will not suffer pain or discomfort, awakening with your new nose covered by a splint, free to return home to recover. Because no gauze is used to “pack” the inside of the nose after surgery, recovery from a rhinoplasty by Dr. Siegel is a pain-free experience. Most patients report feeling “stuffy” similar to when having a cold, rather than the traditional pain associated with a typical rhinoplasty.
His skilled expertise when approaching this surgery also results in minimal swelling and a speedier recovery. The traditional black and blue eyes is usually not experienced by Dr. Siegel’s patients, In fact most patients will return to work within a week with few visible signs, if any, of surgery.
When considering facial surgery, choosing the right plastic surgeon could not be more important. While all board-certified facial plastic surgeons have engaged in many years of education, few have achieved double board-certification for facial surgery exclusively. This extensive training, coupled with his artistic eye for balance, make Dr. Siegel a superior choice for rhinoplasty surgery.
When performing a male “nose job,” Dr. Siegel takes the trust his patients place in him very, very seriously. The first step is a private consultation to discuss what you hope to achieve and allow Dr. Siegel to examine your current nose structure, so he can advise you of what corrections should be performed.
Why choose Dr. Michel Siegel for your rhinoplasty?
The success of your nose surgery depends above all on the nose surgeon you pick.
Rhinoplasty is not just another procedure offered by Dr. Siegel: It is his main focus. Dr. Siegel is a nose surgery specialist. He is double board certified by the only two boards certifying nose specialists (abohns.org and abfprs.org. Those certifications and his 20+ years of rhinoplasty experience, allow him to perform revision rhinoplasty to correct flaws in primary, secondary, and tertiary rhinoplasties.
More developments in rhinoplasty surgery have occurred in the last 15 years than in the previous 100. Your surgeon should be skilled in the best new techniques in nose surgery.
Dr. Siegel is one of the first surgeons in Texas and the country to be trained in Turkey, Europe, and Latin America in advanced surgical techniques for nose surgery. These techniques include ultrasonic rhinoplasty, which avoids breaking the bones as in traditional rhinoplasty, and preservation rhinoplasty, where the shape of the nose is changed by "preserving" the supportive structures of the nose with minimal bone and cartilage removal. This leads to faster healing and natural long-term outcomes in a shorter period.
Rhinoplasty is more than just a surgical procedure. It is a series of personal decisions, followed by a series of medical and aesthetic decisions. Dr. Siegel will work with you every step of the way. You will not be handed off to an assistant or a junior associate. We remain a small boutique practice providing not only exceptional surgical results and personalized care.

Houston’s Dr. Michel Siegel is one of the few surgeons in Houston and the US who specializes exclusively in nose and facial surgery. He also has significant experience with patients of all ethnic backgrounds, which matters if the goal is to attain a nose that looks just right on a unique person’s unique face, alongside other unique features.
He is also one of the relatively few nose surgeons experienced in both ultrasonic (AKA piezo) rhinoplasty and preservation rhinoplasty techniques, both of which can produce long-lasting results with less disruption, swelling, and bruising, and with a shorter recovery time.
Dr. Siegel’s decades of experience in nose surgery, combined with his aesthetic sense of balance, always shine through in a patient’s results. The results should not only be natural, but timeless. The nose should fit one’s face not only during the teenage years, but should also blend in with and develop alongside other facial features as a patient transitions from the teenage years to adulthood.
Dr. Siegel’s techniques afford the shortest-possible recovery, with no packing inside the nose (alleviating the pain associated with typical nose surgery), and minimal bruising due to his specialized technique.
