“Beauty is God’s shadow on the creation.”
Gabriela Mistral
Beauty has different definitions for different people, as Shakespeare aptly stated:
“Beauty is bought by judgment of the eye.”
However, the important point here is that humans instinctively desire to be admired and accepted by society, and facial beauty is one of the most important aspects. Since the nose is in the center of the face, having a beautiful nose enhances a person’s attractiveness and boosts their confidence.
A beautiful nose has different definitions in different societies; for example, in one society, a small, doll-like nose is the standard of beauty, while in another society, a natural nose is considered attractive. Nonetheless, the prominent point is that the nose should harmonize with other facial features.

Answers to consider in rhinoplasty:
Can a standard be defined for a beautiful nose?
You must have heard that beauty is a relative concept. However, balance and symmetry are always appreciated and considered beautiful.
A surgically enhanced nose should be both beautiful and natural. What makes a nose beautiful? Can a standard be defined for a beautiful nose at all?
Today, aesthetics science has been able to identify criteria accepted worldwide that define a beautiful nose, which we will discuss further.
What is the most important factor in determining the success of rhinoplasty?
The most important factor in determining the success of rhinoplasty is the thickness of the nasal skin. In individuals with very thin nasal skin, the slightest asymmetry is visible under the skin. On the other hand, in individuals with thick nasal skin, often referred to as having a “fleshy nose,” the changes made are not very noticeable.
The best candidates for rhinoplasty are those with moderately thick nasal skin. Cosmetic surgery involves making changes to the positioning of the nasal bones and cartilage to align the nose with aesthetic standards and enhance its appearance. However, post-surgery tissue healing can cause changes that are not entirely under the surgeon’s control.
Overall, 90% of the changes to the nose are within the surgeon’s control, while 10% are not, and in such cases, a second surgery may be necessary to correct unintended changes if the individual desires.
Is there a standard for nose beauty?
The standard of beauty is a scientific concept. To establish these standards, the faces of individuals considered beautiful by the majority of society have been analyzed, and the features of their faces have been noted, leading to specific findings.
The angle between the nose and the lip, the angle between the nose and the forehead, the proportion of the nose size to the cheeks, and the size of the nose relative to the face have been expressed in numerical terms and introduced as scientific standards. In rhinoplasty, we aim to align the individual’s face with these standards so that after surgery, they are perceived as beautiful by the majority.
Statistical analysis of the nasal and facial angles of individuals considered beautiful by the majority has provided criteria to cosmetic surgeons worldwide. If the surgeon operates according to these standards, it usually results in the satisfaction of the individual undergoing surgery and their family and friends. However, in the field of cosmetic surgery, the patient’s preferences are also considered as much as possible, and their desires are accommodated as long as they do not conflict with the standards.
