Masculine Structural Rhinoplasty
GORE-TEX BRIDGE AUGMENTATION WITH TIP SUPPORTA straighter, stronger bridge in proportion to a masculine face.
CONCERN ADDRESSED
A low or flat nasal bridge, with the goal of a straight, strong profile that suits a masculine face.
PROCEDURE
The bridge is built up with an ePTFE (Gore-Tex) implant, and the tip is supported with the patient's own cartilage, keeping the lines straight rather than scooped.
ANAESTHESIA & DURATION
Anaesthesia planned at consultation · typically 2–3 hours
RECOVERY
Splint off at 5–7 days. Visible bruising settles over 2–3 weeks.
FINAL RESULT
About 80–90% of swelling resolves by 3 months; the tip keeps refining for 12–18 months.
Post-op photos were taken during early recovery, before swelling has settled. The final result develops over the months that follow.
