What's the Ideal Masculine Nose Shape?
I've been through two nasal-surgeries which turned out very unnatural. One thing that's bothering me, I've noticed that almost all attractive male noses, in my opinion, have a degree of flatness going down the bridge-tip roof.
Male-noses never look like that triangle roof effect you'd see if you were looking down at a house-roof. A male nose is more like a vertical wooden block, sleek sidewalls yet a degree of widthy flatness on the roof.
This is a general-description of the nose I need to fit my face, would you say this is a accurate description of the male nasal-shape?

Wat's the ideal masculine nasal shape.
There are ideally male and female shaped features of the face and body, including the nose and is the topic of a book that I wrote on the subject. In general, male noses are higher, longer and wider than their female counterparts.

Ideal Masculine Nose, Ideal Male Nose
Ideal Masculine nose is a nose that fits the face, is proportional and looks natural. Rhinoplasty is an Art. Through extensive discussion, careful evaluating and analysis and computer imaging, a more precise image can be given that makes your nose look UN-operated.
Ideal Masculine nose has some flatness to the dorsum (roof) but that depends on each individual case.

CSmitty,
Thanks for the question. Based on your description, it sounds like the area you are describing between the bridge and the tip is primarily the middle vault (septum/upper lateral cartilages) of the nose. The middle vault can collapse following surgery if not adequately supported, giving the patient an Inverted-V Deformity. This may be what you are referencing when you describe your "triangle roof" appearance. Of course without seeing and examining you I cannot be sure, but...
