Nasolabial Angle
The angle between the base of the nose and the upper lip. An ideal range supports a balanced profile.
The nasolabial angle is measured between the columella (base of the nose) and the upper lip in profile. The generally cited ideal range is around 90–95° for men and 95–110° for women — outside this range, the nose can look too upturned (piggish) or too drooping relative to the lip.
This angle interacts with nose projection and upper lip position, so it's usually assessed alongside overall profile harmony rather than in isolation. It's a common consideration in rhinoplasty planning.
What is a good nasolabial angle?
Roughly 90–95° for men and 95–110° for women is the commonly cited ideal range.
Can the nasolabial angle be changed?
Only surgically, via rhinoplasty adjusting nose base position and projection.
