Today's occidental concept of a beautiful nose emphasizes angularity This type of nose has a straight nasal bridge separated from the forehead by a shallow groove. The width of the nasal bridge is uniform along its entire length. A pleasing nasal tip is narrow and stands out from the straight nasal bridge. The nostrils are thin and gently drop to a narrow nasal base. The angle of the nose from the tip is usually 90 to 100 degrees. The impression of angularity is further enhanced by thin nasal skin. The goal of surgery, then, is to create an esthetically pleasing nose with nasal tip projection and angularity in mind, while maintaining facial harmony and balance.
