The nose is an organ thanks to which a person is able to breathe and distinguish smells; in addition, the nose is an individual feature and makes the face unique . A large nose immediately attracts attention, but, unfortunately, often only because it disrupts the proportions of the face and deprives it of harmony and charm. Women, more often than men, worry about the size and shape of the organ of smell, believing that a large nose, if not disfiguring, at least deprives a girl of attractiveness and makes her feel self-conscious about her appearance. Little consolation for the weaker sex is the opinion of experts who believe that airborne
pathogens In fairness, we note that a large and wide nose does not always “spoil” the owner’s life and, for example, looks good on a wide, high-cheekbone face, and also organically combines with large eyes, wide eyebrows and plump lips. The situation changes radically if a person has small facial features and against their background the nose looks large, having an optimal ratio of length and width. It is no coincidence that rhinoplasty, during which the size and shape of the olfactory organ is changed, has been one of the most popular plastic surgeries for several decades . Experts say that bones and soft tissues grow up to 18 years of age, and sometimes the formation of the nose continues until 21 years of age, so before this age it is premature to talk about its size, especially since it is not worth correcting an organ that has not yet formed. Interestingly, with age, the nose begins to appear larger due to age-related changes in the face, including muscle ptosis and decreased skin turgor.
Wide nose, distinctive features
The size of the nose is determined by the ratio of the tip, dorsum, root and base to each other. An organ is considered large if its length exceeds a third of the length of the entire face. The height and width of the nose can affect the perception of strangers.
Visually, the organ looks large if the ratio of the dorsum of the nose to the plane of the face is more than 35°. Most often, a person in this case has a deep (sunken) bridge of the nose. In addition to visual, there is a scientific method that allows you to determine the size of the respiratory organ.
The modern pop culture star Rihanna also has a wide nose, but the rest of her facial features make this feature of her appearance not so noticeable.
In anthropology, the term “nasal index” is used (the width of the nose is divided by the length, the result is expressed as a percentage).
An organ is considered large if the result is:
- 80-100% - chamarinia;
- 100% and above – hyperchamarinia.
Large noses are often found among representatives of the Mongoloid or Negroid races. The shape of an organ sometimes becomes hereditary. Size can also change as a person ages.
Long nose in men and women: the gender of the patient matters
A long nose can seriously ruin the life of its owner. However, if for men a long nose in general does not interfere with communicating with people and does not deprive them of self-confidence, then women sometimes refuse an active life due to low self-esteem. The requirements for a new respiratory organ are also different: women dream of a slightly snub nose with a raised tip, while men prefer a straight nose, emphasizing masculinity . The operation sometimes gives a pleasant “side” effect: it seems that the patient received a lift along with rhinoplasty, the face looks so young and fresh after correction of a long nose.
When is nose shape correction needed?
Conventionally, indications for nose correction can be divided into 2 types:
- medical;
- aesthetic.
The first category includes:
- fractures;
- frostbite;
- burns;
- injuries.
The following are considered aesthetic indications:
- deviated nasal septum;
- irregular shape of the organ;
- narrowing of the back;
- wide nose “potato”;
- presence of a hump.
If there are medical indications, rhinoplasty is performed. The procedure allows you to restore breathing and return the organ to its anatomical structure.
Nose contouring with hyaluronic acid filler
Just a few years ago it was difficult to imagine that anyone other than a surgeon could correct and improve the shape of the nose. Surgical rhinoplasty is a rather complex operation that requires long-term rehabilitation. Of course, for people with impaired nasal breathing or the need for global changes in the shape and size of the nose, this is in any case an inevitable option. But for those who need only external improvements and, in comparison, very insignificant ones, they always wanted a softer version of the correction. And for this it is not enough to watch a cosmetologist’s blog on the topic of facial cleansing. Here the thing is much more serious in all respects. We are changing our face!
Nose correction with hyaluronic acid is a method that helps correct several features on the nose without surgery:
- smooth out or eliminate a hump
- smooth or eliminate nasal asymmetry
- raise the tip of the nose
- straighten the shape of the nose after injuries, surgeries
Before the procedure, the doctor conducts a consultation and examination to determine whether contour plastic surgery will give the expected result and find out the presence of possible contraindications.
Rhinoplasty – changing the shape of the nose. The intervention can be purely aesthetic, that is, work with the external, visible part - correction of the hump, narrowing, raising the tip of the nose. Or maybe for medical reasons, that is, in addition to correcting the shape, also restoring full nasal breathing.
Ways to quickly disguise a wide nose without surgery
Wide noses in girls can be visually reduced without surgery. The fastest method of camouflage is to use shadows to play with the shape of the organ. Every woman can visually reduce the size of her nose if she has certain skills.
First of all, you need to choose a foundation that is closest to your skin tone. To create a shadow, you will need 2 more products: one is darker and the other is lighter than the skin.
Wide noses in girls can be corrected with cosmetics
The base product is selected based on texture. It should be as dense and natural as possible. If a woman has age spots or freckles on her face, they will have to be masked separately. In this case, a mattifying foundation is applied to the skin.
Gustav von Albach is a good-natured man with a rather large nose
In the distant 18th century for modern people, there lived a German gentleman and nobleman by blood, Gustav von Albach, originally from Bremen. He really had a very large nose - one of the most remarkable in the entire history of the world, about 18 cm long. And although there is no photo of this feature, for obvious reasons, wax copies of this unique person are kept in many collections around the world.
By the way, Gustav was never ashamed of such a feature: on the contrary, he was proud of it. Due to the fact that he had such a large organ, he did not need masquerade masks, and children sincerely loved him for his goodwill, light humor, and many funny jokes and fictional stories. And his adult comrades admired Gustav for his meekness and ability to laugh at himself.
Makeup to disguise a wide nose
A wide nose on girls will help disguise makeup. If the darkening technique is used, then first of all you need to choose a contour that suits your skin type. Experts recommend starting with powder: it applies well and is easy to shade.
When applying shadows, you must use a brush with natural bristles - only in this case the transition will be the smoothest. The product for lightening should be 2 shades lighter than the skin, for darkening - 1 shade darker.
The skin must be properly prepared for contouring: first it is cleansed and moisturized, and then a base is applied (light foundation or concealer). The base visually evens out the tone and hides roughness. After this, apply powder (it is advisable not to use cream textures).
You can also visually reduce your nose using self-tanning: apply it to a clean face and carefully shade it.
Before contouring, it is necessary to determine the correct shape of the nose. To do this, a detailed analysis of the appearance is carried out, determining the necessary proportions. The product is applied in a thin line to the bridge of the nose. Its width should not exceed 5 mm. The rest is darkened smoothly and shaded well. After contouring, the nose will look sleeker and thinner.
WHAT DOES A “FASHIONABLE FACE” LOOK NOW?
Apart from the extreme options described above, it seems that people have come to their senses.
Surgeons note that patients do not seek to radically change their appearance. In the facial micro-optimization trend, it’s as if a doctor has photoshopped you, but in reality. Tighten it a little, correct it a little, make it more neat, but at the same time so that it doesn’t catch the eye.
Shift of emphasis
Visually, the nose will appear smaller if the accents are correctly shifted. Makeup artists recommend highlighting your lips. eyes and eyebrows. You can also highlight your cheekbones. Bright lipsticks and eyeliners are used to accentuate lips and eyes. You need to highlight one thing, otherwise the makeup will look vulgar.
Emphasizing your cheekbones helps draw attention away from your wide nose. You can use bronzer or blush. Makeup artists do not recommend using glitter powder. Shimmering products, on the contrary, will highlight imperfections. Girls with a wide nose need to clearly define their eyebrows. You can give them a round shape with a slight bend.
The right hairstyle
Every person's body parts are asymmetrical. A wide nose can be disguised with the right hairstyle. In combination with makeup and accessories, the flaw will be almost invisible. Short haircuts are not suitable for girls with wide noses. They focus on “imperfect” facial features. Volumetric, “cascading” hairstyles will help shift the emphasis.

Ksenia Gluntsova - a small nose on a global scale, but noticeable in Russia
The unofficial, but most famous owner of a long nose in Russia is an ordinary woman, Ksenia Gluntsova. She gained fame after participating in the program “Let's Get Married,” where she stated that she associates all the failures of her life with the disproportionate size of her face.
Although no one has taken measurements, in appearance its feature does not reach the official Guinness records or the championship in Germany - it is too small. Although, of course, the nose looks somewhat longer than current beauty standards proclaim.
Accessories
Using accessories, you can not only highlight your facial features, but also hide possible flaws, such as a large nose. You can experiment with earrings or glasses. Wide-brimmed hats will help draw attention away from your face. The headdress should slightly cover the shoulders.
Earrings
The ears are on the same plane as the nose, so experts recommend focusing on them. It is recommended to abandon small earrings, giving preference to large, bright accessories. They can be shaped like rings or thin threads.
In specialized stores you can purchase earrings decorated with feathers or artificial stones. Accessories of unusual shapes (square, rhombus, polygon) will help distract attention from a large nose.
Glasses
Glasses can also visually reduce the size of your nose. Preference should be given to accessories with rectangular or oval frames. It is desirable that it be as bright as possible: white, red, golden.
Glasses with large frames and a wide bridge will divide the organ into 2 parts, and it will appear smaller. Experts advise people with poor vision to switch to contact lenses. Glasses, even with thin frames, will draw attention to yourself.
Surgical methods for nose correction
Wide noses in women and girls are corrected through surgery. Most often this is an operation - rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty is a last resort measure, which is accompanied by a number of indications:
- asymmetrical, abnormally located nostrils;
- curvature of the organ due to mechanical trauma;
- a thin or crooked nasal septum causing breathing problems.
A person who is not satisfied with the shape of his nose can resort to rhinoplasty.
Children's age is considered a contraindication to surgical intervention. This is due to the fragility of cartilage. If the operation was performed on a child, then the risk of complications after rhinoplasty is quite high. Mature age is also considered an absolute contraindication: surgeons usually refuse to perform it on patients over 40 years of age.
Photos before and after rhinoplasty
Chronic pathologies are considered limitations:
- hemophilia;
- severe renal or liver failure;
- sexually transmitted diseases (including syphilis, gonorrhea, AIDS);
- tuberculosis;
- diabetes.
Rhinoplasty has a number of advantages and disadvantages. After the operation, the patient gains self-confidence. The lack of embarrassment in front of others is considered the main advantage. Disadvantages include breathing problems caused by improperly performed surgery.
Girls with a wide nose are offered two types of surgery:
- back correction;
- wing correction.
The first type of surgical intervention includes several methods of correction: if the back is high, then it is shortened, if the back is short, it is lengthened, and if the back is wide, it is narrowed, displacing the cartilages.
Correction of the nasal wings is indicated for people with asymmetrical or wide nostrils.
Rhinoplasty is performed using two methods:
- contraction of the nasal openings;
- removing excess tissue.
There may be a small seam at the incision site.
There are also 2 methods of rhinoplasty (by type of intervention):
- open;
- closed.
Open plastic surgery involves dissection of organ tissue, allowing access to the internal structure. Scars after this operation are more noticeable. With closed plastic surgery, marginal incisions are made. There are practically no scars left after surgery: the arteries are not damaged during the operation.
To eliminate aesthetic defects, a closed type of rhinoplasty is more suitable. To reduce a wide nose, laser intervention is performed.
The operation has many advantages:
- short rehabilitation period;
- almost complete absence of edema;
- minimal risk of bleeding;
- the most accurate and rapid tissue excision.
In most cases, patients are allowed to go home after 12-24 hours. To minimize the risk of complications, it is necessary to regularly treat the sutures and adhere to a gentle regimen. During the rehabilitation period, you should not go to the pool, wear glasses, sunbathe, or overload the body.
Possible complications include hematomas, edema and hypertrophy. Bruises go away on their own within 45-60 days. Hypertrophy with adequate treatment disappears within 2 weeks.
Lips
If the lips are fleshy, full, with softly rounded upper corners , you have an ambitious, serious and intelligent person. People with such lips usually live to a ripe old age in perfect health, have a developed intellect, a gentle and delicate character, but not without a certain firmness, and are capable of achieving considerable success in life.
Lips of medium fullness, elongated, with raised corners indicate the intelligence of their owner. Such people perfectly master everything new and are able to cope well with the most complex jobs, which helps them reach career heights.
Those with thin lips with stretched corners love to gossip and slander.
Soft, relaxed lips indicate that their owners are modest people, reliable and able to keep secrets. They are loyal and firm in their beliefs.
Quite full lips, elastic, but with transverse wrinkles - a sign of calm, pragmatic people. However, they are prone to pessimism and disappointment.
