The ratio and proportion are very important in rhinoplasty. Even if you have beautiful eyes, bright skin, a shapely mouth, and an impressive smile, a disproportionate nose that does not fit your facial features can overshadow all of these. Rhinoplasty operation, which is performed to correct deformities in the nose, has been meticulously performed consonant with the symmetry and proportion of the human face. Recently, the golden ratio, which is accepted as the factor that determines the attractiveness of the face, has been used in the planning of plastic surgeries.
The golden ratio is an irrational number and written in the decimal system is 1.618. It is usually calculated as 1.6 to be more practical. The golden ratio, which is also found in nature, was first discovered by the Egyptians in human history. Egyptian Pyramids, David Statue, Mona Lisa painting, and Notre Dame Cathedral are among the works with the golden ratio.
The two interrelated lengths must be planned in under the golden ratio of 1.6 in order to create the best result. This method is used in almost all areas of life such as architecture, painting, music, and aesthetic surgery. Studies show that human faces that are compatible with the golden ratio are more attractive than those who aren’t.
The golden ratio, which is a guide in plastic surgery procedures, is the ideal face ratio sought in all people regardless of their ethnic origin. The closer a person's facial symmetry and the distance of his/her organs to each other is 1.618, the more beautiful it is perceived.
The examples of the golden ratio in the human face are:
Although the golden ratio affects the symmetry of the whole face, the golden key of the human face is the nose. For this reason, the golden ratio is taken into consideration in the planning of rhinoplasty operations today. In order to perform a good rhinoplasty surgery, the facial features of each patient should be examined in detail and ensured that the new nose shape is compatible with all these facial lines. As in all plastic surgery operations, the most important point in rhinoplasty is to produce an ideal and natural-looking result for the patient.
When performing the golden ratio in rhinoplasty, the nose length is equal to 1/3 of the height of the face, the ratio between nose width and mouth width, the ratio between nose length and projection, and the ratio of the sides of the facial rectangle to each other are taken into consideration. All these ratios are tried to be kept as close to the golden ratio as possible. In this way, a balanced and cosmetic nose appearance is created that is compatible with other parts of the face.
