Is a straight nose always more attractive? (Male)

Question

Hello together :), I consider having a rhinoplasty soon. Overall I am satisfied with my face. I believe that in general I have quite a symmetric face when it comes to eyes, ears, mouth etc. However my nose really bothers me. Not the general Width or nostrils. But for me the nose itself seemed to be curved/ not straight in my face. Now to my question. Will a rhinoplasty then increase my appearance if it makes my nose completely straight and symmetrical? Thanks a lot in advance

John Layke, DO, FACS · Answer

If you look at most of the famous actors, actresses or models, the perception of their aesthetics is usually based upon symmetry.  Often, if you were to divide our face down the middle with photoshop and duplicate each half, most of us would create two completely different-looking individuals.  The ones of us who are more symmetric tend to appear more aesthetically pleasing.  Therefore, a straight nose = more aesthetically pleasing.

David C. Pearson, MD · Answer

Almost always a straight nose is aesthetically preferable to a curved or crooked one. But for patients considering rhinoplasty the best and safest way to determine the effect on your overall facial appearance is to have your potential surgeon create a computer simulation (a "morph") of your face with a straighter nose.I find these simulations to be especially helpful since the patient can get a very realistic idea of how the WHOLE face looks when altering a single feature like the nose.All the best,--David C.

In our practice, we believe that a straight nose is more attractive whether there is facial asymmetry or not. The decision to perform a rhinoplasty for a crooked nose is a personal one, so only the patient can make that decision.    To straighten a crooked nose can be accomplished with a closed rhinoplasty approach.Judge for yourself about how a straight nose is more attractive, please see the link and video below to  theour crooked nose repair photo gallery
