Male Rhinoplasty in Baltimore, MD
The nose plays a defining role in facial structure. When it’s out of balance, it can draw attention away from otherwise strong, masculine features. For men, rhinoplasty (nose surgery) is not about creating a delicate or overly sculpted nose—it’s about improving symmetry, proportion, and breathing while maintaining strength and facial identity.
At her Baltimore practice, Dr. Michele Shermak performs rhinoplasty for men with an approach that’s both aesthetic and functional. As a board-certified plastic surgeon and leader in her field, she brings a deep understanding of facial anatomy, balance, and structure to every procedure. Her male patients appreciate the clarity, precision, and respect she brings to every consultation.
Male rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose while preserving or enhancing masculine features. It can address both aesthetic concerns—such as a bump on the bridge or a crooked nose—and functional issues, including difficulty breathing or prior injury.
Men often seek rhinoplasty to reduce distraction from prominent nasal features, restore symmetry after trauma, or improve facial balance without softening their appearance. Dr. Shermak customizes the procedure to reflect your goals, lifestyle, and anatomy, ensuring results that look natural and feel aligned with who you are.
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia at Dr. Shermak’s fully accredited surgical facility. Incisions are typically placed inside the nostrils, called closed rhinoplasty, or across the columella (the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils) in an open rhinoplasty approach. This allows for full access to nasal structures while keeping scars minimal and well-hidden.
During surgery, Dr. Shermak may reshape the bone and cartilage, straighten the nasal septum, adjust nostril width, or refine the nasal tip. Every decision is made with precision, guided by your goals and facial proportions. The procedure usually takes 2–3 hours and is completed on an outpatient basis—you’ll return home the same day.
Whether your concern is cosmetic, functional, or both, Dr. Shermak will create a treatment plan that restores both confidence and comfort.
Dr. Shermak’s approach focuses on refinement, not reinvention. Her goal is for others to notice you look better, not different.
Long-term results that evolve naturally with age
You may be a good candidate for nose surgery if you’re a healthy adult with concerns about the appearance or function of your nose. Many men seek rhinoplasty after a sports injury, due to breathing problems, or to address long-standing aesthetic concerns that impact their self-image or facial harmony.
Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and understand that the best outcomes are subtle, strategic changes—not total transformation.
Swelling, bruising around the eyes, and mild discomfort are common during the first week. A small external splint is typically worn for 5–7 days. Most men return to non-physical work within 7–10 days, while exercise and contact sports should be avoided for several weeks.
Dr. Shermak will provide a personalized recovery plan, including follow-up visits and clear guidelines to protect your results.
Initial changes are visible once the splint is removed, though swelling may take several months to fully resolve. Subtle refinements continue to appear over time, especially at the tip of the nose.
Final results typically settle within 6–12 months and are long-lasting. Most patients report improved facial symmetry, better breathing, and greater confidence in both professional and social settings.
