I'm a male and I was wondering what is my nose shape? (Photo)

Question

And also do you think there is an ideal nose shape for men and women? Thanks

From the profile you have a nice strong straight male nose.  There are no specific defined looks for a man or a woman.

George S. Miguel, DO · Answer

From the angles you have shown, you have a smooth nasal dorsum and overall a strong masculine nose. This is an ideal shape for a male nose as compared to a feminized nose which typically has a more gentle curve on the nasal dorsum as it nears the nasal tip. There are many different types of classification of what an 'ideal' male nose is. One of them is that nasal dorsum to be straight and smooth. Another classification is what we call 'nasolabial angle' (the angle that the bottom of the nose makes with the upper lip. Males are typically 90-95 degrees vs women are slightly more at 95-105 degrees. Hope this helps! - Dr. Miguel

Yes, I believe that men and women should have different nasal shapes.  You seem to have a very reasonable shape for a male nose.  I has a high, straight profile and is only perhaps a bit large.  It would not be ideal for a woman.

Your picture is close to an ideal masculine nose.A smaller nose with a lower, curved bridge and with a raised up tip, are feminizing.
