title: Less is more: a conservative approach to male rhinoplasty.
abstract: Rhinoplasty in men has caused more traumatic problems of dissatisfaction, as compared to women, ranging from higher rates of complaints to murder of the surgeon. After an evaluation of the special problems related to change, I chose to reduce the amount of hump resected and to restrict the elevation of the nasal tip-nasolabial angle to a minimum compatible with normal appearance. The purpose is to avoid the tag of "operated nose." Some illustrative cases are shown. The goal is presented as precision, discretion, and satisfaction. Sometimes, doing less is more.
