What Does a Beautiful Nose Look Like From the Side in Nonhyeon Rhinoplasty Line Design?

Hello. We are Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, pursuing natural and beautiful changes.

Rhinoplasty should be performed while considering not only the height of the nose, but also the balance with the facial features and face shape, the length, curvature, and the size of the nostrils from multiple angles in order to expect highly satisfying results.

Even when a person feels dissatisfied with their appearance, it can help satisfy aesthetic desires. In addition, when the structure of the nose interferes with its original function of breathing and causes problems, it can improve respiratory issues and enhance quality of life.

In addition, changing the shape of a nose damaged by an accident or trauma also falls under rhinoplasty.

For a satisfying rhinoplasty, you need to work with a medical team that can consider various factors at the same time, including the Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line.

Today, based on extensive surgical experience and anatomical knowledge, we will explain what makes a nose look beautiful from the side, taking the Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line into consideration.

What kind of nose looks beautiful from the side?

After rhinoplasty, we often say things like, “I raised it by a few mm” or “I made it with this kind of line.”

Of course, both the height and the Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line are important, but there are many other factors that must be considered for the side profile of the face to truly look beautiful.

✅ The nose line

When talking about a beautiful nose from the side, the Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line cannot be left out.

Although these are not official terms, the side profiles that are currently often mentioned and widely preferred can largely be divided into a slightly curved line, a straight-but-slightly-curved line, and a straight line.

Among these, women tend to prefer the straight-but-slightly-curved line, which is somewhere between straight and slightly curved, while men tend to prefer the straight line.

Because the bridge of the nose extends straight and the tip draws a subtle curve with a slightly curved line, it can be considered a natural yet lovely Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line.

On the other hand, the straight line gives a cool and strong impression, so it can be said to be suitable for men who want a city-like, refined feel.

To consider the Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line, the proportions of the face must be taken into account in order to create a naturally harmonious result.

Among these, it is difficult to discuss the face without mentioning the midface.

The nose is the central part of the midface.

In addition to the nose, features such as the cheekbones and philtrum also play an important role in midface balance.

A face with a wide horizontal width and a narrow vertical height in the midface tends to have a smaller nose because of the narrow width.

In such cases, applying a straight or straight-but-slightly-curved line to make the nose appear longer can help complement the overall impression.

On the other hand, if the nose already appears long due to a longer vertical facial proportion, the key is to lower the starting point of the nasal bridge and apply a slightly curved or straight-but-slightly-curved line to the tip in order to balance the face.

✅ The line between the forehead and the nose

Along with the Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line, the relationship with the forehead is also important.

Did you know that the nose also has an S-line?

It is said that a line where the starting point of the forehead and the nose connects in an S shape gives women a more feminine and attractive impression.

For men, a more straight Z line is said to feel more masculine and attractive.

That is why people often consider a high nasal bridge in rhinoplasty, but raising the nose blindly can make it look too strong, like a lion nose or robot nose, so it is something to avoid.

✅ The relationship between the columella and nostrils

As you move downward along the Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line, the angle between the columella and the nostrils also becomes important.

Generally, a line where the columella protrudes slightly and the nostrils taper down thinly can be considered an attractive Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line.

If the columella protrudes forward, the nose can appear longer and the nostrils may become more exposed.

Conversely, if the columella is too recessed, the nostrils may stand out more and appear larger.

✅ Nasolabial angle

Next, to consider the side profile, the nasolabial angle must also be kept in mind.

Some of you may have found the term unfamiliar, but today many people have a much better understanding of it.

It refers to the angle between the nose and the upper lip, using the characters for “nose” and “lip.”

This nasolabial angle has a special secret for making the nose line look more beautiful.

More precisely, it is the angle at the base of the philtrum where the upper lip and the nose meet.

The nasolabial angle is also a factor that distinguishes a glamorous nose from a natural one. If it becomes too wide, it can lead to an upturned nose, and if it becomes too narrow, it can create a hooked nose.

That is why finding the optimal nasolabial angle is key to a natural nose line.

Some people ask about the ideal angle.

Generally, 90–100° is considered ideal for women and 80–90° for men, but the angle can vary depending on personal preference and physical proportions, so it cannot be said to be the absolute answer.

For a Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line that takes into account each person's differences in face shape, skin quality, thickness, and other physical factors, it is advisable to establish a plan through sufficient consultation with a medical team with extensive experience.

✅ Ricketts line

The Ricketts line may be somewhat unfamiliar.

It is the line connecting the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin.

To check it easily, you can place your finger at the tip of your chin and the tip of your nose and make a “shh” gesture.

At that time, you can check whether the upper lip and lower lip touch your finger.

It is said that the ideal Ricketts line is one where the upper lip is 4 mm away and the lower lip is 2 mm away.

In Korea, since a slightly smaller lower jaw is generally preferred, an ideal Ricketts line is said to be one where the upper lip is 1–2 mm away and the lower lip is 0–1 mm away.

In addition, the ideal nose proportion can vary depending on the angle of the tip, the degree of lip protrusion, and the degree of chin protrusion.

So far, we have covered the factors that should be considered together when thinking about the Nonhyeon rhinoplasty line.

Please remember that only by considering various elements, even those that may seem unrelated to rhinoplasty, can you expect a satisfying side profile!
