Figure 2. A number of nasal measurements can be used to delineate an ideal nasal length. Commonly, the length of the nose is considered relative to nasal tip projection. Goode described this relationship through a ratio between the alar-facial groove to tip defining point (projection) and from the nasion to the tip defining point (length). In an aesthetically pleasing face, this ratio should be 0.55-0.60.
