What Should An Ideal Nose Be Like?

When it comes to plastic surgery, it is not possible to talk about a single, same ideal for everyone. This is also especially the case for rhinoplasties as well. The anatomy of each person is unique in terms of facial structure and body structure. The nose is one of the organs that affect the appearance of the face the most. It should be noted that the face is a whole. Harmony between the facial organs as a whole is important. For this reason, it is a very important point for the preservation of a natural appearance about the results to be obtained from a rhinoplasty. The facial shape, size, facial features and facial contours must be taken into account for a rhinoplasty.

 

The way people look at beauty is subject to fashion. For example, the understanding of beauty in older ages and today are quite different from each other. Nevertheless, it can be said that beauty is related to proportionality, harmony and balance between different facial features. Since the nose is the most prominent part of the face, the harmony that it forms with the lips, cheeks, jaws, forehead and bone structure determines the beauty of facial appearance.

In terms of plastic surgery, there is no one, single, perfect nose. However, it can be said that there can be an ideal nose for the individual facial structure of each person, and this can be created by a rhinoplasty operation. Facial shape, gender, age, ethnicity, height, skin type and thickness are all determinants of how the nose shape should be ideally shaped for that individual.

Some general features about an ideal nose can be mentioned. Symmetry is one of them. If the facial ratio of a person reflects the Golden Ratio, they are generally considered to be beautiful. The belief that golden ratio creates the most beautiful and pleasent forms was developed by artists and architects during Renaissance. Also nowadays, people who are considered to be beautiful are said to be so due to having the golden ratio in their faces. Plastic surgeons can also make calculations based on these ratios for the surgeries they are to perform.

Since rhinoplasties were first performed, the appearance of the noses that have been considered as ideal have changed over the years and have become very different nowadays. For example short, sloped, overly upturned noses were once very popular, without individuality, but they are not really preferred anymore. Nowadays, many people who have had a rhinoplasty or who are considering to have one, want to have natural looking results that are designed specifically for their faces and that are in harmony with their whole natural appearance.4
