A large nose attracts attention and requires correction only if it violates the overall harmony of the face. The anatomical features of the nose, its individual ratios of length, width and height may look disproportionate on the face and cause psychological discomfort for the patient.
It happens that the nose has completely normal parameters, but in combination with small features, small eyes and narrow lips, it seems very large. Modern methods of plastic surgery allow you to adjust the shape of the nose & nbsp; and achieve a harmonious look.
Parameters that affect the shape of the nose and its size
The shape of the nose is estimated by the ratio of its base, back and tip, and the size – along the length, width and height of its individual parts.
The following are considered ideal nose parameters:
- length – 1/3 of the vertical line of the face;
- width – 1/3 of the length of the nose;
- height – one and a half nose width;
- nose angle - 30°.
According to scientists, the shape of the nose is of great importance in the adaptive abilities of the human body. This explains the narrow raised nose - among Europeans and representatives of northern peoples, the wide flattened shape of the nose – among Asian and African peoples.
The size of the outer nose also performs an important adaptive function – a large nose can greatly prevent airborne infections and allergens from entering the body.
Injection rhinoplasty: important rules for success
Researchers claim that those with a large, protruding nose inhale almost 10% less dust particles and disease-causing organisms than those with a straight, short nose. In addition, a large nose is capable of to significantly prevent the penetration of inhaled bacteria and allergens into the oral cavity.
Nevertheless, despite the natural advantages of a large nose, it is customary in society to pay attention to the shape of the nose and evaluate it in terms of harmony. Therefore, patients (most often women) often come to rhinoplasty specialists with a request to reduce a large nose.
Possibilities for correcting the shape of the nose and its size
The shape of the nose and the size of the nose may depend on congenital characteristics, national traits. The shape of the nose can change as a result of trauma or inflammatory diseases of the nose. With age, due to the general ptosis of the soft tissues of the face, the tip of the nose lengthens, and the nose itself begins to look larger.
Oleg Timofey: The secret of effective rhinoplasty
Because the nose can grow up to about 21 years of age, it is not recommended to correct a large nose before this age Depending on the individual characteristics of the patient and the reasons why the nose looks disharmonious on the face, various techniques can be used to correct the shape of the nose, including thread lifting, contouring, botulinum toxin injections. If we are talking about reducing a large nose in size, then rhinoplasty is performed.
The essence of the operation is to reduce the bone and cartilage framework of the nose. Usually, an incision is made through access from the inner surface of the nostrils, part of the bone and cartilage tissue is removed, part of the skin in the area of the nostrils, the bones of the nose are brought together. If it is necessary to reduce only the width, then the wings of the nose are corrected without interfering with the bone frame. If necessary, the patient's nasal septum is aligned at the same time.
Rhinoplasty and concomitant ENT pathology: surgical tactics
The operation requires high qualification of the surgeon and careful observance by the patient of rehabilitation conditions after rhinoplasty. In this case, the risk of postoperative complications practically does not arise. Often, surgery to change the shape and size of the nose is combined with a correction of the shape of the chin, a lift of the lower and middle thirds of the face, so that the new look is completely harmonious.
