Male versus Female Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills rhinoplasty has different endpoints depending on the gender of the patient.
For female patients, we aim to produce a very gentle slope over the bridge of the nose, ending in a defined tip which is the highpoint on profile. Additionally, the sidewalls of the nose are somewhat narrower in the midsection, producing a subtle curve or “C” shape. Extending this curve into the eyebrow produces a continuous convexity. Furthermore, the angle between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip is greater than 90 degrees or a right angle. In some cases, it may be as large as 105-110 degrees, producing more “nostril show” than we see in a man.
On the other hand, the angle for a man is around 90 degrees. The bridge tends to be straighter, which forms a “T” with the straight eyebrows above it. And we are generally more accepting of slight imperfections and a larger framework in a man.
