NOSE! Flat human nose shapes These under-projected shapes are a distinctive feature of Asian and African American faces. The nostrils are normally wide and flared with a very short bridge and rounded tip. A wide septum is also common. There are surgeons who specialize in this kind of ethnic rhinoplasty. If the columella is retracted, such as with Asian noses, then a surgeon can undertake augmentation surgery and give the tip definition. Concave human nose shapes A concave or upturned nose is characterized by a curve which depresses in the middle with a protruding tip. The inward arching is normally caused by an overly bulky and bulbous tip, often a problem associated with Caucasian people. If the curve is slight, then this shape may actually look elegant. Depending on the individual structure and the extent of the angle surgery may be an option for enhancing the appearance. Reshaping the nose is a plastic surgery procedure called rhinoplasty. The surgeon can either reshape and refine the tip or build the bridge through augmentation techniques. Convex human nose shapes A nose that curves outwards in the centre area and protrudes too far from the face is also referred to as the over-projected or Roman nose. In order to reduce the hump, the nasal bones can be cut back to achieve a more harmonious look. Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is one famous whos undergone such surgery with great results. Wavy human nose shapes A nose can have be wavy in two ways looking front on or from a side view. Usually if the construction is warped from a frontal view, this is due to some injury or deformity. A perfect example of an anterior wavy nose is the contoured zigzag exhibited by Owen Wilson. From a lateral view, a wavy nose will typically have a nasal bump or hump, which can also arise from injury, nasal fracture or more commonly a genetic family trait. Often referred to as a saddle or boxers nose, the shape is characterized by a bump towards the base where the nasal bones are located, then dips in the middle area and elevates once again at the tip. This unfortunate shaping can be repaired by a plastic surgeon removing some of the bone and cartilage causing the nasal bump and inserting implants at the dip if needed. Straight human nose shapes A lineal profile is commonly associated with narrow nostrils and a pointed tip. A straight nose is very desirable and appealing however an overly long dorsum can diminish the quality of this asset. Sean Penn has a completely straight bridge. Big nose Big noses can have short or long bridge for the nose. These noses have wider tips with larger nostrils. People with big noses are generally dominating. They love to lead rather than follow. Wavy nose A wavy nose can be noticed because it has a typical bump at the tip of the nose. These noses therefore appear larger at the tip. People with wavy noses are considered to be very fun-loving in nature. Flat nose A flat nose has wide and flared nostrils. These noses may have a short bridge. A flat nose does not have sharp contours. People with flat noses are said to be helpful in nature and sometimes, a little hot-tempered. Small nose Small noses as the name suggests are smaller in length and are generally with an upturned tip. Small noses with upturned tips are also called snub noses. The tip in this case is neither flat nor round. The blunt, upturned tip gives an impression of a snobbish behavior. A person with a small nose is considered to be mischievous and shrewd. Hooked nose A hooked nose is easy to spot. It is also called as a hawk nose. This is because such noses are thin with sharp contours and a bend in the middle. The profile view of such a nose resembles a hawks beak. A person with a hooked nose is considered to be clever and good-natured. Aquiline nose An aquiline nose refers to noses that have a prominent bridge. The bridge is either curved or bent. This nose is also known as the Roman nose and appears like a hook because of the bridge of the nose. People with an aquiline nose are said to be very headstrong and ambitious in nature.
