The "ideal" nose is a nose that is in harmony with the other favorable features of your face. The "ideal" shape for a male or female nose is an aesthetic concept that has its roots in our perception of beauty. This cannot be completely boiled down to lines and numbers -- there is always an indescribable "artistic" element. However, by studying beauty, and faces that are universally felt to be beautiful, artists and plastic surgeons can arrive at some guidelines or proportions that represent the "aesthetic ideal." Leonardo da Vinci was among the first to make such studies of beauty and aesthetic proportions. He and other artists have been joined in this pursuit by plastic surgeons, whose job entails understanding beauty and then making changes that enhance the beauty of their patients.
Proportions of a Beautiful Nose : A beautiful &
proportionate nose enhances the beauty of the face. The most
ideal proportions of a beautiful nose are given below
1. Generally the columella-lip angle is :
l 90 degrees in a man
l Between 105 and 110 degrees in a woman
l In younger age the angle is larger, but
decreases as the age advances.
2. The angle at the bridge of the nose should
occur near the eyelashes..
3. The line of the nose usually breaks a little above
the tip, especially in women. Men's noses tend
to be straighter.
4. The usual ratio between the distance the nose
projects from the face and the length of the
upper lip is 1 : 1
5. A line drawn from the tip of the chin to the tip of
the nose should extend about 2mm from the
upper lip
