I had a rhinoplasty about a year ago, and I am now concerned that my nose is not masculine enough. Mostly the nasolabial angle looks too obtuse, I would prefer it to acute. Is it just me, or does my nose really not look masculine enough?

Answer: Nose Not Masculine Enough
From the pictures, it appears to me that your bridge is somewhat underprojected. A "strong" bridge is a masculine feature for the nose. The starting point of your nose is very low, which makes it appear somewhat short. Ideally, it should appear to start at the level of the upper eyelashes or the upper eyelid crease. The nasolabial angle, in my opinion, seems OK. All these observations, of course, are made without being able to compare to your preoperative photos.

Answer: Masculine Nose
Rather than calling a nose masculine or feminine, it is more accurate to describe whether or not it is proportional to the surrounding facial features, regardless of gender. I feel your nose would be improved by augmenting your bridge and radix. Your nasolabial angle is within the normal range.
