Nasal analysis in rhinoplasty (nose aesthetics) surgery is based on 'aesthetic standards' used to determine how different a person's nose is when compared to his/her ideal nose shape. Although there are certain patterns for the ideal nose, the bottom line is the exact fit with the person's face.
For many patients, aesthetic ideals are the main goal of choosing rhinoplasty surgery. Nonetheless, it should be noted that beauty is a very subjective interpretation and cannot be reduced to the measurement of objective proportions and angles. Performing a nose analysis before rhinoplasty surgery is of great importance in achieving successful results. A reductive approach to the separate components of the nose is adopted to ensure an accurate analysis of the nose. Then, all possible changes are evaluated in the context of the entire face.
The human face is dependent on general symmetries and individual asymmetries to make people different from each other. We begin by dividing the face into five equal horizontal lines to evaluate the symmetries and asymmetries of the face and nose.
Your face can be divided into three parts vertically using the hairline, upper part of the nose, the tip of the nose, and the chin area as reference points. In general, the horizontal axis of the nose is expected to be equal to the horizontal axis of the eye. When the nose exceeds the eyelid distance, patients request the reduction of the nostrils because an enlarged nostril diameter tends to reflect an angry expression.
Then, the vertical axis of the face is evaluated. When the vertical nose axis is too long or short, patients often request an elevation or change in their nose tip positions.
Nasofrontal Angle: The nasofrontal angle shows how the nasal bone is articulated with glabella and eyebrow. In an ideal nose, there should be a small indentation at the point where the nose meets the glabella (the area on the forehead, between the two eyebrows) and eyebrow.
Nasofacial Angle: It helps to measure how much nasal bone and cartilage must be removed to reduce the nasal hump. Unlike the nasofrontal angle, this angle is evaluated from the upper part of the nose down to the lips. In order to provide the best possible aesthetic appearance, this angle should be much sharper than the nasofrontal angle.
Nasal Angle: The nasal angle gives information on how the nose tip structure fits the rest of the nose. It is of great importance to evaluate this angle in patients who want to change the shape of their nose tips. Poor protrusion of the nasal tip causes an unwanted facial appearance.
Nose-Jaw Angle: Following the evaluation of the nasal angle, the chin itself is evaluated for the ideal nose. The chin is directly evaluated as the mentocervical angle. This angle is directly evaluated since this angle is related to chin protrusion, lip protrusion, and nasal protrusion. This angle should be 80–95 degrees for ideal facial aesthetics.
The main objective of rhinoplasty surgery is to create a natural, well-fit nose and facial aesthetic results. Considering all these angles, the ideal nasal structure occurs and a comprehensive plan is made for rhinoplasty.
