This is the focus region of the thread, esp the curve, like the blue indicates. Many people on this site say nasal spine but no thats not the whole explanation here, The reason for the curve or even the shape and nasolabial angle here is not so much bone related.

My favorites side profile of all time

Both of these side profiles ofc have much in common, they both have a good jaw with medium/long ramus and prominent zygos. But they also have a prominent A point and good phil to nose transition with a nice curve. nasolabial angle is often talked about but the curve itself is hard to measure but very aesthetic

If we look at cavill he has a more the 90 degree angle, which doesnt look bad but its not the curve like delon and the other dude have.

Corrado has somewhere in between, decent curve

And then we have patinson who has no good curvea and bad angle ofc

But where does this come from, many people say maxilla and nasal spine but that is def not fully true. As its more impacted by the nose projection and columunella who lifts the soft tissue lip up.

Unfortunately this can get a bit ruined by rhinolasty, ofc she looks better then before but her phil is going a lot more inwards then before because of the deprojected nasal tip. Which for a girl in this case leads to a more prominent lip look which can be good but at the same time not ideal still even for a girl

Another example of rhino changing the curve, not in a bad way but you see the chsnge

Thanks for making this, really underrated in side profile aesthetics

I think both flat and curved can be aesthetic but curved is definitely better, sucks for me because mine is so flat it almost bends backwards

Two main metrics here are the nasofrontal angle and the angle ur tip makes right?

Yea its small detail, i think the curve is a more a pretty boy feature. And also often even more important for women as it goes with the upturned nose

I mean the nasolabial angle is what people measure, the smooth transition of the curve is not really a measurement.

90 degree/flat looks better on masculine features, but yeah a curve looks good on prettyboys & women

nice thread!

Yea true, the thread was also much about the misconception that many have that this is only influenced by the nasal spine rather then nose rotation, nose projection and columunella
