Male rhinoplasty by Dr. Tim Neavin - Beverly Hills & Santa Barbara
Most rhinoplasty techniques were developed for women. A male nose job requires a completely different set of aesthetic goals, and a surgeon who understands the difference between refining a nose and feminizing it.

After Actual patient result by Dr. Tim Neavin
You’ve thought about fixing your nose for a while, but every before-and-after you see online looks like a woman’s result. Scooped bridges, upturned tips, delicate profiles — none of that looks right on a man’s face. And that’s the fear: that you’ll come out looking feminized, or worse, obviously “done.”
That fear is valid. The male nose has different proportions, thicker skin, and a different relationship to the brow and jawline. Applying female rhinoplasty principles to a male face is how you get results that look wrong even when the technical surgery was clean.
Dr. Neavin designs every male rhinoplasty around masculine facial proportions. That means preserving a straight or slightly convex dorsal line, not scooping the bridge. It means keeping the nasal tip at or slightly below 90 degrees relative to the upper lip, never rotated upward. And it means respecting the relationship between the nose, brow bone, and jaw so the result looks proportionate, not isolated.
The goal isn’t a smaller nose. It’s a nose that fits your face without announcing that you had surgery.
Preserves a straight or subtly convex bridge profile rather than the scooped look that reads as feminine.
Refines width and projection without rotating the tip upward, keeping it at or below 90 degrees to the lip.
Male nasal skin is typically thicker, requiring different cartilage work and grafting to make refinements visible.
“I was nervous about looking different in a bad way. Dr. Neavin showed me exactly what he’d change and what he’d leave alone. Six months later, my nose just looks like a better version of what I already had. No one at work said a thing. ”— James R.
Male patients make up a significant portion of Dr. Neavin’s rhinoplasty practice. He understands that the margin between “refined” and “feminized” is narrow, and that men need a surgeon who respects that line.
His approach centers on preserving masculine structure while addressing the specific issue, whether that’s a dorsal hump, a crooked bridge, a wide tip, or a combination. The result is a nose that looks better without looking operated on.
Dr. Neavin’s male rhinoplasty results are designed to look like a natural improvement, not an obvious surgical change. Most of his male patients report that people notice they look better without identifying exactly what changed.
Almost everything. Men need a straighter dorsal profile (no scoop), less tip rotation, and generally more conservative changes. Male skin is also thicker, which affects how refined the result can appear. A surgeon who applies the same technique to both genders will produce a feminized result on a male face.
Most male patients return to work within 7–10 days. A splint is worn for the first week, and visible bruising typically fades within 10–14 days. Strenuous exercise can resume at 4–6 weeks. Many men schedule around a vacation or work trip to minimize questions.
Yes. A deviated or previously broken nose is one of the most common reasons men seek rhinoplasty. Dr. Neavin straightens the external appearance and corrects any internal airway issues in the same procedure.
