Rhinoplasty and the male patient.
A review of male patients undergoing rhinoplasty indicates a surprising diversity of anatomy and especially skin coverage. When compared with rhinoplasty in the female adolescent, the goal must be more of a "balanced rhinoplasty" rather than a reductive rhinoplasty, and the techniques required are more diverse. Careful screening of patients is essential to eliminate a subgroup of men with severe psychologic obsessions.
