I am of Persian descent and have a hook to my nose.
Published on by Batniji Facial Plastic Surgery
I have a very pronounced hook to my nose which I believe is fairly normal among those of Persian descent. Nevertheless, I do not like it and would like to improve. How much improvement can I expect?
The “hook” appearance may be due to a combination of bump along the bridge of the nose and weakness of support to the nasal tip. The bump along the bridge of the nose is typically bony and cartilage in nature. Shaving down these structures will help to address the “hook” appearance. As well, improvement in the position of the nasal tip (if needed) will further address the “hook” appearance.
