With female rhinoplasty, it seems that a lot of looks can be attractive. I've seen girls considered attractive who either have rounded noses, sharp noses, or generally everything in between. With males though, it seems there's much more a 'make or break' thing going on. I rarely see a male with a rounded, chubby nose who'd be considered 'facially-attractive', where as I think a male with a more shaped, structured nose gives a look of attractiveness, confidence, and intelligence. Do you agree that this is usually one of the good reasons for males to have rhinoplasty, if they have a shapeless nose?

Answer: Features of an attractive male nose This is an excellent question. There is no one right answer for what makes a male nose attractive as everyone's facial features and structure are different. However, there are certain common features that my male patients often ask for when coming in for a rhinoplasty consultation. These include: 1. Straight dorsum or bridge 2. No supratip break (eliminating any indentation that defines the tip of the nose) 3. Angle between lip and nose is about 90 to 95 degrees. Gary Linkov, MD Rhinoplasty Specialist Manhattan

Answer: Male Rhinoplasty My approach to male rhinoplasty is very conservative. I firmly believe that the key to a natural, handsome nose is always “less is more.” It is important to recognize that what makes a woman’s nose attractive is different from what is attractive in a male nose. Men often come to me concerned about a large dorsal prominence, a downturned nasal tip, and/or a bulbous tip. Men also have heavier bones along with thicker skin than women. With precision, I gently file bones rather than breaking them, creating a neat, straight line from the root of a man’s nose to the tip, and making sure that a strong masculinity is preserved. It is important as well that the angle between the upper lip and the nose tip not be turned up in a feminine way. By respecting the above, I enjoy achieving attractive results that make men appear as if they were born with naturally handsome features. It is important to have an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive knowledge and experience in male rhinoplasty.

Answer: A male nose should show character Although they say there is no accounting for taste, I would agree that a woman can “pull off” more looks than a man, but a successful rhinoplasty in both cases is the one that looks natural. When you take into consideration all facial features of a person, the nose should be in “perfect harmony” with them. If we are talking about an “attractive male nose”, the general consensus is that it’s a nose that shows character. More precise, that means the nose should not be small or too small, have a defined look/tip, be well proportionated with the chin and can also be a bit longer and wider. Also, which is a big difference when compared with female noses, the male nasal profile should not be curved (slope), but either straight or have a slight bump, to avoid looking operated. These details help achieve a masculine, distinct and natural looking result in a male rhinoplasty.
