Dr. Shervin Naderi explains that choosing the ideal nose shape for a patient is complex and aided by computer imaging. He emphasizes that the nose must harmonize with other facial structures (chin projection, lip strength, midface/cheek position, nasofrontal angle, forehead slope) because those features are not easily changed but the nose can be, to enhance the eyes and lips.

Determining what nose fits each patient's face is a complex decision. It's aided with computer imaging. Essentially, the nose will look different depending on the projection of the chin, the strength of the lips, the position of the mid face and cheek, the nasofrontal angle, which is the depression between the nose and the forehead, and the slope of the forehead. Those other issues are not easily correctable, but the nose is. So the nose has to essentially fit those other features to blend with the face and highlight the beauty of the eyes and intrigue of the lips.
