Male rhinoplasty with rib cartilage and diced cartilage fascia (DCF)
This patient underwent male revision rhinoplasty with alarplasty performed by Dr. Donald Yoo, using DCF (diced cartilage fascia) rib cartilage for structural reconstruction. Revision rhinoplasty in male patients often requires strong, durable support to correct prior surgical changes while maintaining natural masculine definition. In this case, rib cartilage was utilized to restore nasal framework, improve stability, and achieve balanced proportions, while alarplasty was performed to refine nostril width and enhance overall nasal harmony. The goal of treatment was to correct previous surgery, improve structural integrity, and deliver a natural, long-lasting result that respects male facial anatomy.

My handsome patient wanted to keep his natural look—just more refined.
We used his own rib cartilage and DCF (diced cartilage fascia) to build a stronger bridge and support the tip. Septoplasty improved his breathing, and alarplasty reduced nostril width and flare for better balance.

Male Rhinoplasty can refine your nose so it feels more in balance with your face while keeping a strong, natural look that still reads as masculine, not overdone. Board-certified, fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon Dr. Donald B. Yoo plans the procedure around your unique features, including skin type, ethnicity, age, and anatomy, and can address breathing at the same time with septoplasty when needed. Most of the work is done through discreet internal incisions; many patients return to daily life in about 7–14 days, with splints typically removed around one week and your final shape continuing to refine over time, with clear guidance along the way.
