CONTEXT: I've noticed that I share several facial and physical features with this model named Rafa Noah. I’m curious whether the resemblance is actually strong or if I’m just seeing it myself.
I’d appreciate objective opinions on whether my phenotype aligns with theirs, and which specific features are similar or different.
Possible similarities I notice:
- Face shape - both appear relatively narrow/elongated
- Eye area - looks close with eyebrows and lashes but he does posses a longer eye aspect ratio from downturned medial campus and higher lateral campus with better canthal tilt
- Nose structure – very different
- upper midface - similiar minus better infraorbital
- Jawline – most different, however I believe through body fat placement versus bone structure
- Hair/colouring – similar tone and texture
Plan Moving Forward:
Structural
My main structural issue is recessed infraorbitals, which leads to under-eye hollowing and scleral show. To address this, I plan on getting custom malar–infraorbital implants with a pyriform component. My expectation is that this should correct the under-eye support and resolve most of the hollowing.

Nose
For my nose, I’m planning a rhinoplasty with the following goals:
• Reduce my alar base width
• Narrow the nasal bridge
• Adjust the tip by addressing the bulbous appearance
• Correct the hanging columella
Soft Tissue
In terms of soft tissue, the biggest issue is facial leanness and fat distribution. I don’t believe this is primarily a mandibular or projection issue. I tend to store a significant amount of fat in my face, particularly in the malar fat pad. Combined with my recessed infraorbitals and relatively prominent nasal bridge, this creates a pronounced tear trough and the appearance of nasolabial folds.
To address this, I’m planning multiple Aqualyx sessions. My current plan is:
• Start with 1 ml per cheek
• Increase to 2 ml per cheek
• Then potentially move to 4–8 ml per cheek depending on results
This dosing is based on results I’ve observed from others on the forum.
Eye Area
After addressing the structural and soft tissue components, I plan to reassess the eye area. Depending on my IPD and overall balance, I may consider slightly down-turning the medial canthus.
However, I’ll likely choose between:
• Canthopexy/canthoplasty to either just correct scleral show and decrease EAR or also increase my canthal tilt.
Overall
I believe my base features are already a relatively good match, and that addressing the infraorbital support, nasal structure, and soft tissue distribution could move me significantly closer to his phenotype.
My main questions are about whether this plan makes sense structurally and if there are areas I may be overlooking. Any input would be appreciated.
