What is the ideal distance between the nose and upper lip on a woman? What makes a woman look feminine?

Question

Does it depend on the placement of your nose, or other measurements?

Edgardo Zavala, MD · Answer

The upper lip to the base of the columnella ideally should be around 11 mm. If this distance is too much more, around 20 mm, the ideal procedure to deal with this is what is called the "bullhorn lip lift" that properly done leaves an invisible scar and really make the upper lip look beautiful. An alternative is to use fillers to make the upper lip more protuberant, this mostly in thin lip individuals. Best wishes

Thank you for your question. The most ideal angle between the nose and the upper lip, also called the nasolabial angle, should be between 95 to 110 degrees. A short distance between the chin and the mouth, and a short upper lip also contirbute to a feminine face. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to learn more about an attractive female face and your candidacy for procedures that help you achieve that aesthetic appeal.
Best wishes,

Thank you for your question. The upper lip to the base of the columnella should be around 11mm. If the distance is much more, you can have what’s known as “bullhorn lip lift”. Also, an alternative to this procedure is to use dermal fillers to make the upper lip more pronounce. However, this mostly done in individuals with thin lips. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!
