What are the features of a male nose that are considered most attractive to ladies and look best in photos?

Question

What are the features of a male nose that are considered most attractive? I am NOT looking for examples of large or "bulky" noses. I'm looking for 1) general rules for size and shape of nose relative to one's face, and 2) examples of more "model-type" noses. If you could provide names of celebs or models (or pictures) that would be helpful

Generally speaking an aesthetically ideal male nose features a prominent, straight bridge from radix to tip. The angle between the lip and nasal tip is about 90 degrees. In contrast, a feminine nose often features a softer bridge contour and a relatively obtuse angle with the upper lip. Masculinizing features also include a higher and wider nasal bridge, when compared to a feminine nose. An ideal male nose generally has a greater tip projection than an ideal female nose.Of course these are merely guidelines and a patient's rhinoplasty plan is customized to what their expectations are, and what is surgically feasible given the patients exam. Best wishes!  Harry V.

Dear Hang10, Every rhinoplasty surgery is designed to enhance the patients facial aesthetics. With that said the male nose is typically straighter from the radix to the tip, while the female nose will have a contour in the dorsum. See many examples of each in the before and after link attached and a male models nose in the video below. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
