Facial Harmony: A Matter of Balance & Proportion
The ideal nose is never understood in isolation: it depends on the overall proportions of the face.
In other words: there is no one-shape-fits-all.
This being said, some of the best sculptors in history have crafted astonishing figures respecting patterns of facial harmony.
These proportions seem to be particularly alluring to the human eye:
- Artistic faces have a 1:1:1 forehead-eyebrow-nose ratio*
- Aesthetic noses draw a 25-40º angle over the face*
- The ideal nose length is approximately 1.6 times its height (golden ratio)*
- The ideal nose has a flat bridge with a slightly rounded tip*

What is an Open Rhinoplasty?
An open rhinoplasty is a surgical technique used in nose reshaping to improve the appearance and function of the nose. It is called “open” technique because it involves making an incision on the outside of the nose between the nostrils (columella) to access the underlying nasal structures.
✅ Advantages: the “open technique” allows greater visibility to the surgeon, allowing for more precise and accurate alterations.

What is a Closed Rhinoplasty?
A closed rhinoplasty, also known as endonasal rhinoplasty, is a surgical technique used to improve the appearance and function of the nose. It is a “closed” technique because incisions are made inside the nose, without any external incisions. This technique is typically used for minor to moderate changes and does not require the same level of dissection or exposure as an open rhinoplasty.
✅Advantages: it typically results in less swelling, bruising and faster recovert than an open rhinoplasty, as there are no external incisions.
❌Disadvantages: it may be more difficult for the surgeon to access the nasal structures, making it more challenging to achieve certain types of changes.
