Types of Noses, Which Nose Shape Gives a Sweeter Look With Rhinoplasty

Have sharp features and want a sweeter look? Which nose shape should you choose? Women with sharp features and men with strong features, do not lose heart when people say your face looks stern and not gentle, making it hard to get on with colleagues or to find someone special, because your strong features make you seem less friendly.

Even If You Smile a Lot, When Your Face Is at Rest You Can Look Aloof, so Others Hesitate to Approach You

Part of what makes a face look sharp and stern is the nose shape, because the nose is the focal point that draws the eye and shapes the face. A stern or hard-looking face may be caused by a nose that is out of balance and does not blend with the other features, such as:

• a bridge that is too high and straight like a ruler, without a gentle slope from the inner corners of the eyes, which makes the face look hard when light falls on it
• a tip that is too pointed or too upturned, as a pointed tip can make the nasal tip look droopy and hooked like a hawk’s beak and fierce, while a tip that is too upturned may look youthful but shows a lot of the nostrils, making the face look unbalanced
• large alae, which make the face look out of proportion and draw attention away from the rest of the face
• a short nose, or one so upturned that the nostrils show clearly
• a wide nasal base or a flat area between the eyebrows without definition, which often makes the face look less attractive and hard

Which Nose Shapes Can Make the Face Look Sweeter

Sloped Nose With a Teardrop Tip

The bridge slopes down and the tip is rounded like a teardrop, which gives a sweet, soft look without being too sharp.

Suits: people who want to balance their face and have a reasonable amount of tissue at the tip

‘Barbie’ Nose Shape

The bridge rises slightly from the base with a well-rounded curve, and the tip turns up a little to look slim, for a cute, bright look.

Suits people who want rhinoplasty for a higher nose and bridge but still want softness, with curves and definition in the face

Soft Rounded Nose Shape

The bridge is not too high, and the tip is slim, rounded and turned up slightly (depending on your facial structure), giving a sweet, bright look that is not hard.

Suits: people who want a subtle change of nose shape, with more definition and a sweeter face

Slight-Hump Nose Shape

The bridge is straight, defined and high, running in a straight line from the inner corners of the eyes down to the tip, for a defined look. The tip is slim and small and turns up slightly to add definition to the face, and the base is compact, which makes the bridge look higher and more defined. It sits halfway between a soft rounded shape and a higher, more defined shape, combining a sexy and sweet look, with a slight dorsal hump in the middle of the nose.

Get a Consultation With a Surgeon to Assess and Plan Revision or Rhinoplasty for a Sweeter Face

Note: Revision rhinoplasty, which many people know as ‘nose correction’, is surgery for people who have had nose surgery before and need further assessment by a surgeon. Care depends on the original problem, the structure of the nose and the surgeon’s judgement in each case.
