Male Rhinoplasty in Las Vegas, NV
There are subtle but important differences between male and female rhinoplasty surgery. Male patients typically do not want to feminize their appearance; therefore it is important that key nasal aesthetic features such as the tip rotation, dorsal height and nasal tip width are kept natural looking and within ranges considered masculine.
Dr. Mehdi Sina is board-certified, fellowship trained and a male rhinoplasty specialist. He recognizes the importance of customizing each surgical plan according to the unique needs of each individual patient, especially when operating on male patients, when the margin for error is typically smaller. One of the most common sentiments from his male patients is that they have wanted surgery for a very long time, but they have always been afraid that they would look “overly done” or that their nose would lose its strong, masculine features.

Photo GalleryWhat Are the Benefits of Male Rhinoplasty?
Male rhinoplasty and female rhinoplasty are performed in exactly the same way, and have all of the same benefits. Male rhinoplasty is designed to alter the shape and appearance of the nose to the patient’s exact specifications. Men seeking rhinoplasty typically want:
- Straightening a crooked nose (bridge and/or tip)
- A reduced hump on the bridge
- Improved breathing with septoplasty
- Improved nasal symmetry
- Minor changes to the nasal tip
- Improved facial balance
Because the nose is such a central feature of the face, a large or crooked nose is hard to ignore, often dominating the other facial features. After rhinoplasty, Dr. Sina’s patients experience a more harmonious facial appearance, which allows their other features to shine, along with functional improvements such as nasal breathing.

How Much Does Male Rhinoplasty Cost in Las Vegas?
The cost of rhinoplasty in Las Vegas varies within a range, allowing for differences in surgical technique, the specifics of the surgical plan itself, and the surgeon’s experience. Premium plastic surgeons charge more for their services, as they can reliably provide more natural-looking results with a reduced risk of a botched result. It is very important to seek out a surgeon who has experience operating on male patients and has before and afters of his male rhinoplasty patients. Additionally, with an experienced specialist, you are paying for high-end pre and postoperative care, the advice and technique of an expert surgeon, and the peace of mind that your treatment is in the best hands.
Once you meet with Dr. Sina for your comprehensive rhinoplasty consultation, he will create a custom surgical plan that outlines the techniques used in your procedure and provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is considered an elective cosmetic surgery, so patients seeking this procedure must be in good health and have reasonable expectations for their results. Patients must also have a healthy self-image before undergoing this procedure. As mentioned, the nose is a central feature of the face, and the slightest changes affect one’s whole appearance. Patients who may be suffering from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), which is categorized as severe anxiety and depression related to one’s appearance, are not candidates for cosmetic procedures. In addition to this, candidates for rhinoplasty:
- Have a clear, realistic vision for their nose improvements
- Understand the risks and benefits of the procedure
- Are in good health
- Are nonsmokers or are willing to quit
A consultation with Dr. Sina is essential in determining if you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. To schedule an appointment, call Vegas Facial Plastics today at (702) 890-8507 or fill out our contact form.
What Are My Rhinoplasty Options?
Primary rhinoplasty is divided into two types: cosmetic and functional. Revision rhinoplasty is reserved for patients seeking a fix to a previously botched result, meaning they need a secondary rhinoplasty procedure.
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
This is what most people think of when they think of a nose job; cosmetic rhinoplasty addresses aesthetic issues such as asymmetries or humps on the bridge. Some patients may have a crooked or misshapen nose that they wish to straighten. More commonly, patients want to reduce the size of their nose, seeking treatment to the bridge, tip, or nostrils.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty aims to improve the patient’s breathing, either through correcting a deviated septum (misaligned cartilage), correcting nasal valve collapse, or through turbinate reduction, which removes tissue from the internal nasal cavity to allow more airflow. It is possible for patients with functional issues to include cosmetic improvements in the same procedure.

How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Your Consultation
The rhinoplasty consultation is a crucial part of the plastic surgery process—in some ways, it’s as important as the surgery itself. During the rhinoplasty consultation, the patient will establish his goals by discussing with Dr. Sina exactly what his concerns are and whether they are functional, cosmetic, or both. As mentioned, Dr. Sina isn’t there to tell you what he thinks will look best for you—he will provide you with advice as to what technique may get you closer to your goals or if your desired outcome is even within reach. He will work with you to explain what you can reasonably expect from your rhinoplasty results, as well as the risks and benefits of this procedure.
The patient will then receive a full nasal examination, including the structures inside of the nose (septum, turbinates). The information collected during this comprehensive examination is unique to each patient, and they will help Dr. Sina create a custom, one-of-one surgical plan designed in consideration of each patient’s aesthetic goals.
Another important component of the rhinoplasty consultation is to take high quality medical photographs and use nasal morphing software to mimic what the patient’s desired changes would look like and to make sure that the patient and surgeon are on the exact same page. The morphed images are used as a blueprint during surgery to make sure that the surgical plan is followed precisely.
Lastly, Dr. Sina considers the consultation as the best opportunity to help educate his patients. Too many times, patients will have surgery without an adequate understanding of the surgical process, and this is a leading cause of poor outcomes and low patient satisfaction. When you are in a consultation with Dr. Sina, he encourages you to ask as many questions as you have. If time becomes a constraint, patients are invited to come back for as many follow-up consultations as necessary until they feel comfortable with the entire surgical process.
Be sure to be honest with Dr. Sina; he will be equally honest with you. If you agree that this procedure is ideal for you, he will walk you through the surgical plan and the recovery period before providing you with a cost estimate.
The Rhinoplasty Procedure
Each rhinoplasty surgery will be uniquely planned to meet the patient’s specific goals as determined and set by the patient and Dr. Sina during the consultation. Dr. Sina does not use a generalized, cookie-cutter treatment plan that makes everyone’s nose look the same. For his male patients, maintaining a natural-looking and masculine nasal appearance is of paramount importance.
On the day of surgery, Dr. Sina will meet with his patients prior to surgery to review the surgical plan, including the morphed photos, for the final time. This step ensures that he and his patients are on the exact same page prior to surgery.
Dr. Sina prefers to perform rhinoplasty surgery using general anesthesia and an open rhinoplasty technique.
- In an open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made across the skin between the nostrils (the columella), allowing Dr. Sina to gain the best view of the nasal anatomy.
- The next step is typically a septoplasty, where breathing issues are corrected, and vital cartilage is harvested for the cosmetic portion of the rhinoplasty.
- Next, Dr. Sina begins reshaping the nose. Bone and cartilage may be reduced, reshaped, or repositioned to help achieve the patient’s cosmetic goals. The cartilage harvested during the previous step is the primary source for the cartilage grafts needed to reshape and support the nose during rhinoplasty.
- Once Dr. Sina is satisfied with the on-the-table result of the rhinoplasty, he carefully closes the incisions and casts the nose.
What Is Rhinoplasty Recovery Like?
After your rhinoplasty procedure, your nose will have a nasal splint on it, which helps support your healing nose and maintain its new shape. There will be both dissolvable sutures (inside the nose) and non-dissolvable sutures (columella) in place. The nasal splint and the non-dissolvable sutures are removed a week after surgery. Most patients will not need nasal packing, but in some cases where light packing is used, it is removed the next day.
Dr. Sina will provide you with specific instructions—be sure to follow these as closely as possible. With advances in surgical technique and Dr. Sina’s expert hand, most rhinoplasty patients have minimal bruising, even around the eyes. You should be able to return to work after about a week, with restrictions on strenuous exercise for up to three weeks.
When Will I See My Rhinoplasty Results?
Generally speaking, the final results of a primary rhinoplasty are determined at 12 months. However, most people appreciate an improvement in the appearance of their nose as early as one week when the cast is removed. Nearly all patients return to school or work within one week.
The typical recovery timeline is: 50–60% healed at one month, 70–80% healed at three months, 90% healed at six months, and 99% healed at one year. It is important to remember that patients’ noses will look wonderful much earlier than the one-year mark. Most of Dr. Sina’s “after pictures” for rhinoplasty are taken at three months.
Rhinoplasty patients are some of the happiest patients—the results are well worth the wait. After your rhinoplasty with Dr. Sina, experience the confidence and joy of looking in the mirror and loving what you see.

The best and I truly mean the BEST surgeon. I had a rhino/septoplasty done August of 2023 and I could not be happier with my nose. My new nose quite literally changed my life… I was in a car accident 2 months after my surgery. This accident broke my freshly healed nose and I contacted Dr. Sina immediately about this and within a few days he was fixing my nose and had it looking exactly the way it did before the accident in no time. Thank you Dr. Sina!

I met Dr. Sina via a referral from another patient. He was detailed and honest in the consultation and made me feel comfortable with the decision to move forward with surgery. What I appreciated the most is that he made sure I still looked like me, but an improved version.
K.N., Google Review
Totally worth it – I still look like me, but better! I was prepared to fly out to LA to get a lip lift consult but decided to meet with a few local doctors first. I am really glad I did since my research led me to Dr. Sina. I am really happy that Dr. Sina listened to what I wanted and we went conservative on the lip lift. I wanted to still look like me, but better and that’s what I feel we accomplished.
J.H., RealSelf Review
Dr. Mehdi Sina performed my Chin Augmentation Surgery and I could not be happier with my results. It looks so natural and I virtually have no scar- really, I can’t find it! I followed him from NYC to Vegas. I do not trust anyone else with my face – you only have one face people!! He is a meticulous perfectionist and a master of his craft.
