Tier List of Nose Parts

Tier 1 - God TierThese 3 parts determine ≈80% of your nose fate / NOT IN ORDER (!)
Why is it so important as a whole?
¹ Lower Lateral Cartilages (Greater/Major Alar Cartilages=LLC)
- The single most important structure in the entire nose
It Controls tip shape, definition, projection, rotation, nostril shape, columella position, and how much your tip droops when you age or smile

² MaxillaWhy is it so important?
(especially anterior nasal spine + piriform aperture)
- Recessed maxilla makes even a perfect nose look weak, long and droopy
Controls nasolabial angle, alar base width, and how much support the columella gets
(You can have god-tier LLC but if your maxilla is recessed by 8 mm your nose will still look subhuman in profile JFL)
Waterfall
Forward-grown maxilla = short, projected, upturned nose (Greek/button)
Recessed maxilla = flat, long, down-turned nose even if LLC are decent (common in Asians)
Before + After Surgery

³ Caudal SeptumWhy is it so important?
(lower front edge of septal cartilage+ Anterior Nasal Spine)
- it's basically a central pillar that keeps the tip from falling off your face
If these are trash you need tongue-in-crib grafts, extended spreader grafts etc..very hard to fully fix.
Long + strong caudal septum = naturally lifted, projected tip
Short, weak or deviated caudal septum = hanging columella, retracted columella or just droopy tip

Tier 2 - Important
(These decide the remaining ≈20%/lower tiers)
Skin thickness + sebaceous quality
Thin skin = every detail shows = easy to get sharp definition
Thick, oily, sebaceous skin = permanent bulbous tip, no definition even with perfect cartilage (common in Middle Eastern, some Jewish, some Black noses too lol)
Fun fact: Surgeons hates thick skin more than weak cartilage because you can’t thin it much without risking necrosis
Nasal bones length & height
Short nasal bones = saddle nose or illusion of hump
Long + long nasal bones = strong bridge, good starting radix, better overall projection
Determines if you can have a straight Greek
dorsum or if you’ll always have a bump
Tier 3 - Secondary Importance
(not saying they are useless,it just means they are less important/dependant)
Dorsal septum decides if you have a hump or straight dorsumPitanguy’s ligament + interdomal ligament = final tip support, breaks with age = droopDepressor septi muscles if hyperactive = smiling = tip goes down hardFibrofatty tissue layer if thick = extra bulbousnessEthmoid perpendicular plate + vomer, only matters if crookedness
If not mentioned then it isn't very important
TLDR; if u have good T1's then you are very likely to have good nose
