Men’s noses are different than women’s noses, and thus male rhinoplasty is different than female rhinoplasty. On the female face, a straight nose is essential to overall facial beauty, whereas a slight deviation can be acceptable on a man’s face. In female rhinoplasty, the goal is usually to create a smaller, straighter, and more symmetrical nose. With male rhinoplasty, on the other hand, the goal is to create a strong, full, and well-defined nose that suits his masculine facial features.
In general, when it comes to the side profile, most men desire to have a straight or slightly convex bridge line. A bridge that is too “scooped” tends to feminize the profile. When it comes to the nasal tip, for women, a slight overall rotation upward is considered ideal. For men, however, the tip should be less rotated. The nasal tip should be defined as well, but not narrow or pinched. The narrower the nasal tip, the more feminized the nose appears.
