Face Lift Variations

As the central part of the face, our nose is also one of the most noticeable among our facial features. A deviated nose may give the impression of facial asymmetry, or a crooked nose may give an aura of ruggedness, while a drooping nose may add a little number to our age.

Science has proven that nose shape is actually a physical adaptation by our ancestors from the geographical location they chose to thrive. Notice that people who are leaving in areas with extreme cold weather usually have flat faces and narrow noses while people from the middle east and African region usually have larger nose, people from higher altitude regions, mostly Asians, commonly have flatter faces with flatter nose, while those commonly known as westerners or “White” usually have narrow, high nose as they experience both extremes in weather condition.

Despite this known fact, most people still strive to change the shape of their nose, thus, a couple of nose surgery procedures gained fame.

HISTORY OF NOSE SURGERY

The first documented successful cases of Nose Surgery dates back in the BC period in Ancient India where nose was reconstructed after it was removed from a man as punishment. Several other instances and techniques have been recorded but nose surgery procedure really reached the peak of its popularity after the introduction of silicone implants.

In contemporary times, nose surgery has evolved to include several techniques using other parts of the body to develop the aesthetic appearance of the nose. Though nose surgery still has its functional branch, recent cases of rhinoplasty are more inclined to the cosmetic branch.

IS THERE AN IDEAL NOSE SHAPE?

Science has an ideal nose proportion which surgeons consider as a guide in nose reconstruction, but there is no universal nose shape that will look good for everyone. Before a surgeon decides whether a nose surgery procedure is good for a patient or not, he needs to consider the existing facial features of the patient first for him to be able to visualize a nose shape that will be in harmony with the rest of the patient’s facial features.
