HOOKY NOSE
What does a hooked nose look like?
A hooked nose has a hook or fishhook shape. The tip of the nose slopes downward and falls lower than the base of the nostrils. The columella (the layer of skin between the two nostrils) is therefore descending. This is the opposite of a trumpet nose . This type of nose may also be accompanied by a bump on the nose.
What image does a hooked nose convey?
A person of character
This type of nose suggests a strong personality with character. It tends to be associated with a forward-thinking leader. These characteristics are, of course, pure superstition.
A bird’s beak nose
The hooked nose is colloquially called a “bird’s beak” because it resembles the curved beaks of birds of prey, parakeets, and parrots. The comparison ends there.
A witch’s nose
Witches are always adorned with a hooked nose. The nose is particularly large and topped with a wart on the tip to clearly characterize the character.

Hooked Nose Surgery - Rhinoplasty
A hooked nose can be embraced and proudly displayed. Unfortunately, for some people, it can also cause major insecurities and a loss of self-confidence. The nose is one of the three most visible features of the face when viewed from the front and THE most visible when viewed from the side. It’s therefore understandable that an overly unusual shape can be self-conscious and difficult to embrace.
Rhinoplasty involves raising and rounding the tip of the nose. The surgeon may also remove the hump on the bridge of the nose.
Another solution is hyaluronic acid injections (fillers). This lasts about 30 minutes and is not very painful. The nose modification is temporary and lasts about 1 year.
Rhinoplasty on a hooked nose
This rhinoplasty costs $5,000 to $20,000 depending on the extent of the operation, the method used (ultrasound, etc.), and the reputation of the clinic and surgeon. A hooked nose rarely causes functional problems (difficulty breathing through the nose, etc.).
However, hooked nose surgery is a surgical procedure, with all that entails. Therefore, the decision must be carefully considered and a prior appointment with the surgeon will be necessary.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and is not very painful. It does not affect the sense of smell.
