Types of Noses: find your perfect nose

There are many types of noses, and the best surgical option for you will depend on the shape of your nose. Here are some of the most common nose shapes and our recommended surgical options:

Turned-Up Nose shape

You may be an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty if you have a turned-up nose, also known as a pug nose. This type of surgery can improve the look of your nose by straightening it and making it less bulbous.

Hawk Nose shape

Patients with hawk noses, or hooked noses, often seek rhinoplasty to reduce the hooking appearance. This surgery can also make your nose appear less bulbous and more proportional to the rest of your face.

Fleshy Nose shape

If you have excess skin on your nose, you may be an excellent candidate for dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. These procedures can help improve your nose's look by reducing the amount of excess skin.

Roman Nose:

A high bridge and a hooked tip characterise Roman noses or aquiline noses. Rhinoplasty can straighten the bridge and reduce the hooking appearance of the end of the nose.

Greek Nose shape

A low bridge and a broad base characterise Greek noses. Rhinoplasty can raise the bridge and narrow the base for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Bumpy Nose shape

Bumpy noses, or bumpy dorsal humps, can be improved with rhinoplasty. This type of surgery can help to smooth out bumps and create a more even surface on the bridge of your nose.

Nixon Nose shape

Patients with Nixon noses often seek rhinoplasty to improve the look of their nostrils. This type of surgery can help to reduce the size of your nostrils for a more balanced appearance.

Combo Nose shape

Combo noses combine two or more different noses. The best surgical option depends on which features you want to change, a combination rhinoplasty approach can be achieved. Our skilled surgeons will work with you to determine the best way to improve your combo nose.

Snub Nose shape

Snub noses, or upturned noses, can be improved with rhinoplasty. This surgery can help straighten your nose and make it less bulbous or upturned.

Bulbous Nose shape

A large bulb characterises bulbous noses at the end of the nose. Rhinoplasty can reduce the size of the bulb for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Nubian Nose shape

Nubian noses are characterised by a broad base and fullness in the third middle region. Rhinoplasty can narrow the base and reduce the fullness in the central third region for a more balanced appearance.
