Appearance Aspect of Nose Aesthetics

As for the beautiful nose, everyone used to think of them in small, pointed and lifted noses with curved nasal hump which appears like ornament. Now that the nose perception has changed a lot in the society. Nowadays, people find natural noses beautiful which are in proportion to the facial contours of a person. If the nose is beautiful when viewed from the side only, three-dimensional treatment way would be deviated, the nose should be natural and beautiful when it is looked at from the front and diagonally. I believe as a plastic surgeon that nose aesthetics must be approached in a three-dimensional way just as my many colleagues. The artistic counterpart of the three-dimensional evaluation is sculpture. With this understanding, considering each person’s differences in the facial proportions of the skin bony and cartilaginous structures, a different nose shape should be given that best fits on the person’s face with a three-dimensional approach. The nose consists of many small units, and the harmony between these units and the softness of the transition lines between each other is very important, and the hard edges give the nose an unnatural appearance by taking away the natural look. A good physician should see the patient’s existing structures and disharmony between them and assess them in the best way, make plan in advance and carry them into effect during the surgery. When I am examining the patients, I visualize them first, then I work on the photographs, and I perform my dreams at last during the operation. Another issue as important as being a good physician, is the realistic expectations, which is competing on determining the results, and a healthy individual having a good psychological condition is a must for a rhinoplasty patient. The skin structure of the patient, shape of his/her face and the characteristics of the patient also affects the result.

For men and women, the nose surgeries must be different, I don’t think a deep nose root and round apex is suitable for men and I believe that a higher nose root and flatter nasal bone and thinner apex are suitable for a masculine look. Again, the nose apex of woman and the man should be different from the angles that determine the nose lift.

Another important event that affects nose operations is the S, J, or C shaped curvature of the nose and midline cartilage structures (septum) all of which can be returned to their old anatomic structure during nasal aesthetics. The presence of adequate intra-nasal septum cartilage and ear cartilage is necessary to correct problems, as previous operations (deviation, aesthetic intervention, nasal surgery, bone fracture) may affect the duration of the operation and the end result. In this context, successful nasal aesthetics should provide a well-structured, time-resilient, face-compatible natural appearance and should make breathing even more comfortable.
