Natural rhinoplasty is a type of surgery that does not make significant changes to the person’s nose. The goal of natural rhinoplasty is to make limited changes to the nose and address overall nasal issues. Rhinoplasty can have a natural outcome such that people who have never seen the person before do not notice that a natural rhinoplasty has been performed.
Stay with us until the end of this article to learn more about this popular and attractive surgery…
What is natural rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is among the highest percentage of cosmetic surgeries in our country, involving both women and men. People have different tastes and perspectives when choosing their ideal nose.
Many people have issues such as nasal hump, excessively large nose, and disproportionate nose to face ratio, among other problems. They undergo rhinoplasty but worry whether the final shape of their nose will look natural. These individuals often express that they are not interested in significant changes and only want to fix their nasal problems while maintaining a natural appearance that does not show signs of surgery.
Some prefer a natural nose and request correction of their nasal defects with natural rhinoplasty to preserve the natural beauty of the nose. Others, particularly younger individuals, prefer doll-like and fantasy noses that are smaller than the natural size and have more curvature.
Natural rhinoplasty is a type of surgery that improves the shape, size, and symmetry of the nose, enhancing its appearance relative to other facial features.
Natural rhinoplasty is performed to correct aesthetic defects and address nasal issues. In this surgery, excessive curvature is avoided, and the nasal tip is raised just enough to eliminate drooping, as per the patient’s request.
Aesthetic criteria for rhinoplasty
For rhinoplasty, it is important to note that simply reducing the size of the nose to achieve a desired shape will not necessarily enhance facial beauty; instead, beauty lies in the proportion between the nose and other facial features. For example, the length of the nose should be proportionate to the distance from the nasal base to the hairline and from the nasal tip to the chin.
If the nose is shortened, it may disrupt these proportions, affecting facial aesthetics. Additionally, the width of the lips relative to the width of the nose must be proportionate; if the nose becomes too narrow or wide, it can disrupt the balance of facial features.
Benefits of natural rhinoplasty
You should not expect your surgeon to produce a rhinoplasty result identical to someone else’s. Everyone has a unique face, and the nose must harmonize with the individual’s face and facial features.
In natural rhinoplasty, the changes made to the nose are minimal, so only the defects are corrected. Consequently, the nasal tissue undergoes fewer changes, reducing the likelihood of breathing problems over time. The result is a more natural-looking face, with the nose beautifully harmonizing with other facial features.
Therefore, keep in mind that in natural rhinoplasty, altering the nose to resemble someone else’s will not enhance your beauty because the harmony of the nose with that person’s facial features is what makes it beautiful.
Key criteria for natural rhinoplasty
Before surgery, the rhinoplasty surgeon carefully analyzes and examines the following:
Nasal width
Cosmetic rhinoplasty can change the width of the nose on both sides. That means the nose can become wider or narrower after surgery. To create these changes, the surgeon may alter the bones, cartilage, nasal wings, and skin.
Nasal symmetry
Cosmetic rhinoplasty corrects asymmetry. Issues like nasal deviation, crooked bones due to injury, or asymmetrical cartilage from previous surgery can be addressed.
Aesthetic perception
Curved noses that do not match other facial features will not create a beautiful image. In natural rhinoplasty, the nasal bridge is straight, or the surgeon may create a very subtle curve. A strong nasal bridge should be straight or sometimes slightly full. This fullness of the nasal bridge can enhance beauty for many people. In men, this fullness should be more pronounced than in women.
Nasal projection
Nasal rotation
Nasal wings
Characteristics of natural rhinoplasty
After natural rhinoplasty, the nasal tip is not overly raised, and the bridge is almost straight.
In other words, a natural nose does not have excessive curvature, and the nasal tip forms a 90-degree angle with the upper lip. Additionally, the nasal bridge is not too small and delicate and has a balanced size.
In natural rhinoplasty, the surgeon strives to align the overall structure and shape of the nose with the facial features, ensuring the nose is not overly large or has other defects like a nasal hump.
What to expect from natural rhinoplasty results?
Many people are concerned before undergoing rhinoplasty whether the result will look natural.
Will their new nose harmonize with their face? Will their face look more beautiful?
These concerns are completely understandable and natural.
Individuals should have sufficient awareness before undergoing rhinoplasty to have realistic expectations about the outcome. Choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon who can achieve a natural result is crucial. Many factors must be correctly followed to achieve a natural rhinoplasty result.

What is the difference between natural rhinoplasty and rhinoplasty for bony and fleshy noses?
It is important to note that both bony and fleshy noses can undergo natural rhinoplasty. A bony nose has strong cartilage and thin skin, while a fleshy nose has weak cartilage and thick skin.
Thin skin is more suitable for surgery because the surgeon can shape it more easily, but very thin skin can also pose challenges. Since natural rhinoplasty involves fewer changes to the nose, fleshy noses can also be naturally reshaped.
In our article comparing fleshy and bony noses, we thoroughly examine the differences between the two.
Difference Between Natural and Fantasy Rhinoplasty
Many people, when deciding to undergo rhinoplasty, do not even know the exact differences between fantasy rhinoplasty and natural rhinoplasty, which can lead to dissatisfaction with the results due to a lack of understanding.
To understand the differences between these two types of surgeries, consider the following points:
- In fantasy rhinoplasty, the nasal bridge is very delicate, and the tip is very elevated. In contrast, a natural nose has a natural size and the tip does not have a significant distance from the lips.
- The most important feature of fantasy rhinoplasty is the pronounced curve, which is not seen in natural rhinoplasty. However, in semi-fantasy rhinoplasty, the curve is less pronounced and closer to a natural nose.
- The goal of fantasy rhinoplasty is to create extensive changes, but this is not the objective of natural rhinoplasty.
- Fantasy noses may suit some individuals, but a natural nose is suitable for everyone.
Why is natural male rhinoplasty more appealing to men?
Men’s facial structure is more bony than women’s, giving them a higher level of attractiveness, so maintaining this attractiveness is very important for men. This has led to an increased desire among men to have a natural male nose.
Additionally, men often want to address and correct nasal functional and breathing issues during cosmetic rhinoplasty, which can be fully addressed through the surgeon’s evaluation.
Given the explanations provided, a nose with an upturned tip and small volume is not suitable for men! The surgeon must consider these factors and use all their experience and skill in male rhinoplasty to achieve the desired result for men.
Key criteria for choosing the best natural rhinoplasty doctor in Mashhad
