A nose with soft and narrow features, also known as the celestial nose shape, is considered to be the most attractive female nose. Many women undergo surgery to obtain a celestial or button nose.
Instead, men prefer to have a straight nose, similar to that of a greek nose shape. This ideal nose is identifiable by its straight bridge and narrow nostrils. Particularly for men, the nose angle between the base of the nose and the tip is most desirable at an angle of 90 degrees.
The ideal female nose is typically shorter and smaller, with a slightly scooped bridge and an upturned nasal tip. However, it is important to note that there is no “perfect” nose shape for female patients as the ideal nose for any specific person should be relative to their facial proportions.
A 2010 study by Tersello and company discovered that a “nose width smaller than 1/4 facial width” generates facial beauty. Small noses are considered more attractive than larger ones by society because they fit into the patriarchal image of women as petite, delicate, feminine, and not taking up too much space.
A Greek nose is often referred to as a straight nose as it is most identifiable by its straight bridge and narrow nostrils. It is a very desirable shaped nose due to its lack of lumps or bumps and is often the nose shape shared by patients with their surgeons when they bring reference photos.
When it comes to the rarest nose, there aren't many notable personalities with interesting nose types. In fact, it is estimated that less than 1% of the world's population has a Pinocchio nose. However, there is another type of nose that can take the title of the rarest and its name is Anonymous nose.
A hooked nose is a short, narrow nose with a sharp tip. The nostrils are flared, and the tip is often flat. This type of nose is most prominent in people with Hispanic or Asian ancestry. This type of nose is bulbous or bulky in appearance.
The ideal nose length (RT) is 0.67x midfacial height. A straight dorsum with no supratip break or a straight dorsum reduced to a level of 2mm below the tip creating a retroussé are both desirable.
Winning by a Nose
Neither large nor small noses are dominant traits, so a nose's size has little to do with dominance. Two large-nosed parents are likely to produce a large-nosed baby, and two small-nosed parents to produce a small-nosed baby.
Preferred nose modifications in men and women were examined next. In total, 64.8% of study participants preferred a smaller nose in women (27.5% found the reduction to 90% of the original size attractive while 37.3% found the reduction to 95% of the original size attractive).
Europeans usually have narrow, pointy noses with wide bases and elevated tips. Generally, Europeans have longer and bonier noses compared to other ethnic groups.
It's also known as the straight nose. This nose has a remarkably straight bridge without any kind of humps or curves. The Greeks usually have this kind of nose; only about 3% of the population has this kind of nose.
A button nose is described as a rounded nasal tip and a small nose that may turn up or down slightly, causing your nose to look rounded. These types of noses are very common.
Italians have such prominent nose structures that there's even a globally-recognized name for it: the Roman nose. It has a high protruding bridge followed by a pronounced hook or downward curve at the end, which becomes more prominent when viewed from the side.
The face can be divided into 5 exact fifths, each one the width of one eye. Therefore, the width of the nose should be the same width of an eye. If any of these aspects surpass the standard measurements, the nose could be considered disproportionate or big.
A nose that is straight or with a dorsal hump is considered more masculine than a nose with a gentle curvature and a lift at the tip of the nose. Masculine lips also tend to be thinner. Generally speaking, men have chiseled features and larger bones, while feminine faces tend to have softer, rounder contours.
Women across Europe, India, Africa and the Middle East proudly flaunt spectacular, non-small noses. In many cultures, big noses are a sign of wisdom or prosperity and people would never even consider altering them. In Japan, if someone tells you that you have a big nose, they are paying you a compliment.
The rarest type of nose in the world is the Nixon's or Pinocchio's nose. It is the undisputed champion when it comes to the rarest nose. To begin with, there aren't many people with this nose type. Statistics indicate that less than 1% of people worldwide have the Pinocchio nose.
Pig Nose is the nose that looks sharp and snub. Another name is “Short-Tipped Nose or Upturned Nose.” The length from the base of the nose to the tip is about 3 centimeters. If looking at the front, the nose will look short like a pig nose. If looking at the side, the tip of the nose will look upturn.
East Asians are marked by their slim noses. They have the smallest noses in terms of surface area. However; east and south Asians have a larger space between their nasal alare (wings of the nose).
Korean noses, unlike Caucasian noses, are generally described as having a bulbous tip, short columella, flared nostril shape, wide alar base, an acute nasolabial angle, and a low dorsum.
A term used culturally to refer to noses that have a prominent ridge and a hook at the end. Also, known as an aquiline nose, which is from the Latin word meaning “eagle-like.” The distinctive shape of the Roman nose has led it to be stereotyped in many ways. In Europe it was seen as a noble trait.
