Surgery For Men:

Men have special concerns when it comes to plastic surgery; indeed, their needs and goals are
         usually far different from women's, and there are noted physical differences in male skin thickness
         and elasticity, facial structure, and body structure that require special attention from the physician.
         Currently, more and more men of all ages and socioeconomic strata are using cosmetic surgery to
         improve their looks, and Dr Schmidt is more than pleased to offer his skills to this growing segment
         of clientele.

                                      

        One of the procedures gaining in popularity among men is rhinoplasty; nasal reconstruction. The nose
        one of the single most important components to a person's face; its intrinsic size, shape,
        and condition heavily factor into how a person is received by others and social interaction between
        individuals. Rhinoplasty is an option for people who wish to alter the appearance of their nose, but
        who have down to earth expectations of what such a change will bring. Dr Schmidt performs a variety
        of rhinoplasty procedures, from decreasing the size of one's nose to fixing a deviated septum to
        re-angling the nose's slope. It is only a matter of determining what the nature of the change the patient
        desires.
        

        Procedure:
        A rhinoplasty procedure is focused on re-sculpting the nose through the relocation or removal of its
       underlying bone and cartilage structure. To do this, Dr Schmidt first makes incisions either on the
       inside of the nostrils or across the thin band of skin between the nostrils. Next, the skin of the nose is
       carefully elevated to allow access to the layers of cartilage and bone. Depending on the exact reshaping
       to be performed, Dr Schmidt either adjusts or removes some of the cartilage or the bone in order to form
       the desired nasal contours. After the nose has been reshaped, the skin is re-draped back over the newly
       shaped nose and the incisions closed.

      Recovery:

     Total recovery time after a rhinoplasty procedure, as usual, varies from patient to patient. In general,
     however, it is common to expect at least a month of recovery time, with bulk of serious convalescence
     occurring within the first week after surgery. Suring the first week, the patient will experience aches,
     fatigue, bruising, discoloration, and will need rest and respite from any arduous activities. By the end of
     the first week, Dr Schmidt will remove any nasal packing, stitches, and dressings, and the typical patient
     will be able to return to work. The remaining weeks will witness the patient being slowly able to resume
     more vigorous activities, such as exercise, and the gradual fading away of most signs of the operation.

     Typical Patient Profile:

     Rhinoplasties are already one of the most popular of all plastic surgery procedures that Dr Schmidt
     performs, and the are range of typical patients ranges from people in their mid to late teens to far into
     middle age. The most important aspect regarding this surgery is that it only be performed on those whose
     nose has fully grown and who is capable of handling the potentially dramatic positive effects of surgery.
     Dr Schmidt will be more than glad to discuss this operation and any concerns you may have on whether
     it is the right procedure for you.
