The Turned-up Nose

The ideal female nose is typically shorter and smaller, with a slightly scooped bridge and an upturned nasal tip. However, it is important to note that there is no “perfect” nose shape for female patients as the ideal nose for any specific person should be relative to their facial proportions.
Straight noses are called "Greek" noses for a reason! Not only is this type of nose often associated with the ancient Greeks, but those with noses that are narrow with a pointed tip are considered very intelligent.

Instead, men prefer to have a straight nose, similar to that of a greek nose shape. This ideal nose is identifiable by its straight bridge and narrow nostrils. Particularly for men, the nose angle between the base of the nose and the tip is most desirable at an angle of 90 degrees.
As the center point of the face, the nose plays a large role in creating your facial symmetry. If the nose is crooked or poorly proportioned, it can ruin the balance of your features. Symmetry is highly important in facial beauty.
A Greek nose is often referred to as a straight nose as it is most identifiable by its straight bridge and narrow nostrils. It is a very desirable shaped nose due to its lack of lumps or bumps and is often the nose shape shared by patients with their surgeons when they bring reference photos.

A hooked nose is a short, narrow nose with a sharp tip. The nostrils are flared, and the tip is often flat. This type of nose is most prominent in people with Hispanic or Asian ancestry. This type of nose is bulbous or bulky in appearance.
Square and oblong face shapes are often considered quite beautiful and popular because they have a wide jawline which makes the distance between the eyes quite wide. This makes the eye quite prominent and also emphasizes the smile of the person.
A button nose refers to a small nose that has a slightly upturned tip. This nose shape is considered very attractive and is the most-requested shape.
Ideally, the beautiful nose is approximately 1/5 the width of the face. In general, the width of the entire nose (nostril width) should not be wider than the distance between the eyes. In other words, the nostrils should fit between imaginary lines drawn from the inside of each eye.
A button nose is described as a rounded nasal tip and a small nose that may turn up or down slightly, causing your nose to look rounded. These types of noses are very common.

A nose that is straight or with a dorsal hump is considered more masculine than a nose with a gentle curvature and a lift at the tip of the nose. Masculine lips also tend to be thinner.
