What is a Better Choice? Straight or SLIGHTLY Sloped Nose?

There’s no easy answer to this question, as I always make my determination in concert with the patient and taking into consideration the total facial symmetries and contours.  If a female patient asked for a specific type of nose, and I felt that it would not fit with her facial features, I would certainly advise against it.

For a woman’s profile we like a very slightly sloped bridge line.  Please refer to our rhinoplasty photo gallery at the link below.  We believe a very slight in-slope with a supratip dip is a very natural-appearing nose and does not look operated upon.  A straight profile is acceptable on a male rhinoplasty.

I prefer a well defined strong nose for women. Either a straight or slightly scooped profile  are excellent for a lady depending on several factors. In a woman 6' tall I'd prefer a straight profile as opposed to a short woman where a slightly scooped profile would be better. Let's not ignore the importance of patient preference. Both choices are acceptable.
