The nose, we know, is one of the most important parts of the face, the one where the eye immediately falls and which influences the perception of the beauty of a face. this is why many people hate their nose when it is not quite perfect and are often ashamed of it. When an overly prominent or disproportionate nose becomes a source of discomfort in everyday life, cosmetic surgery can come to the rescue withrhinoplasty, a procedure that can correct nose defects from both a purely aesthetic and functional point of view. Let us now take a look at the most common types of nose jobs. Many have famous exponents
Here are the most common types of nose. Which one is yours?
- The Aquiline Nose: so called because of its characteristic eagle-beak shape, the shape is due to a particularly protruding back. It is probably the most common blemish and also the most corrected by rhinoplasty. Eagle nose correction involves the entire anatomical structure of the nose, as the reduction of the hump must be accompanied by harmonisation of all anatomical elements. It boasts a royal exponent: Lady D.
- the Potato Nose: rounded tip and pronounced wing cartilages give it the characteristic potato shape, cute in a child, but not exactly harmonious in an adult. Rhinoplasty in this case can only concern the tip, but in most cases the back also needs to be worked on. An example? Scarlett Johansson's.
- The Big Nose: here it is not so much a question of shape as of size, sometimes really excessive. One can decide to make it a strong point, as the American star Adrien Brody did, or to retouch it with very satisfactory results. (Photo Daniel Bergeron)
- the Greek Nose: tending to form a straight line with the forehead, its characteristic is precisely a continuity of profile between the forehead and nose. In practice, the angle normally present in the glabella in the case of the Greek nose is reduced or even absent. This is not necessarily an aesthetic defect, in some cases it can also be considered a merit. And indeed, the name comes from the typical nose of Greek statues. Not for nothing then is it typical of many models, and of the Chelsea player Cesc Fàbregas.
- the Crooked Nose: it can be a source of great discomfort, or it can become a trademark. Look at OwenWilson and his decidedly crooked nose. Without it, he wouldn't look like himself.
- wide-tipped nose: it is that nose which is somewhat slender, with horizontally flared nostrils, wide and flattened tip. See Uma Thurman.
-the Perfect Nose: the perfect nose really does seem to exist, according to a group of scientists, and it is that of the Countess of Cambridge. With its 106 degree angle, the nose of the beautiful Kate Middleton is indeed of perfect proportions. So much so that immediately after her marriage to handsome Prince Willian there was a veritable explosion of 'Kate-style' rhinoplasties.
