“…5 U n c o r r e c t e d P r o o f results were in line with those of Naini et al (12,13), as they reported the average nasolabial angle was the most attractive one, and the level of attractiveness decreased as the angle increased. The current study results were also in agreement with those of McArdle et al (14); they found that the least attractive nose shapes were the ones with an increased nose projection. The current study results were also consistent with those of Valentine et al (15), as they reported attractive nose shapes were the ones with average dimensions.…”

Background: Achieving a high facial attractiveness is the main reason why Iranians tend to undergo such a surgery. Accordingly, the current study aimed at investigating the relationship between age, gender, education level, and perceived attractiveness of various nose profiles. Methods: Various nose profiles were created by making changes in the 4 variables of the nose including alar width, tip shape, tip projection, and columella. Three images were provided in respect to each variable; a nose with a standard value, a nose with a more than standard value, and a nose with a lower than standard value. A total of 400 people (200 males and 200 females) were asked to rank each set of images based on their perceived attractiveness. In the next step, the effect of various factors such as age, gender, and education level on the perceived attractiveness was assessed. Chi-square test and SPSS software were utilized to perform statistical analyses. Results: A standard profile had the highest level of attractiveness among participants. Moreover, profiles with values higher than the standard were the least attractive. There was no significant association between gender of participants and the perceived attractiveness of the nose profiles. The associations between education level and the perceived attractiveness of such variables as alar width in males, tip shape of males, columella in males, and tip projection in females were significant. Conclusions: In conclusion, Iranian people prefer the average and standard nose. Age and gender had no effect on the perceived nose attractiveness, while the effect of education level was significant.

“…The findings of our study add to the current literature describing the nuances of nasal profile preferences across various demographics. 8 , 9 Our results specifically identified the variance of the preferred radix projection and NLA across 4 generations and multiple ethnicities. This added information may aid surgeons in providing more individualized and specific surgical options in the consultation process and beyond to patients based on their demographic.…”

“…Ethnicity and culture are significant factors to consider in rhinoplasty planning, as standardized definitions of beauty may not align with non-Caucasian patients’ goals. 9 Sinno et al described significant variations in NLA preferences among certain ethnic groups. 8 Their group found ethnic groups with more prognathic features, such as West African and Brazilian Black populations, preferred more acute NLAs.…”

Background Aesthetic norms fluctuate over time and often result in generational differences in preferred ideal nasal aesthetics. While some traditional concepts in ideal nasal aesthetic have been suggested in our literature, there is no study to date which has identified contemporary preference across different age groups. Objectives To understand the general population’s current perception of ideal nasal profiles. Methods Two dimensional (2D) images of female noses (n=10) of varying ethnicities were simulated to alter either the radix height or nasolabial angle (NLA) independently. Radix height was manipulated by increasing or decreasing the height by 5 mm relative to baseline. For NLA, 3 images were created with the following measurements: (1) 90, (2) 100, and (3) 110 degrees. Groups were categorized by generation and age at the time of completing the study: Generation Z (age 18-23), Millennial 20s (age 24-30), Millennial 30s (age 31-39), and Generation X (age 40-55). Each figure consisted of either 3 variations in radix height (n=10) or 3 variations in NLA (n=10). Within each figure, volunteers were asked to choose their preferred nose. Results The younger generations, Generation Z (Gen Z) and Millennial 20s and 30s, preferred a more augmented radix compared to Generation X (Gen X) which preferred baseline radix height. Gen Z, Millennial 20s, and Gen X preferred a 90-degree NLA while Millennial 30s preferred a NLA of 100-degrees. Conclusions The authors found that younger populations (Gen Z, Millennial 20s, and Millennial 30s) preferred a more augmented appearance to the nasal radix and, on average, a more acute NLA than published data suggests.

“…Some supratip break is the aesthetically pleasing configuration for nasal tip, but excessive supratip depression can be considered undesir-able. 7 When using an implant, the caudal end of the implant can fill the volume of the supratip depression, reducing the difficulty in creating a smooth nose line. However, even in this case, it is necessary to fill the empty space between the implant and the upper lateral cartilage with cartilage or soft tissue.…”

A Novel Technique for Autologous Supratip Augmentation: Septal Gap Graft

Background: Although it has been common to use artificial implant to augment nasal dorsum in Asian rhinoplasty, the demand for not using it is increasing due to the long-term complications of implants. However, if only the tip is raised without raising the dorsum with implant, it is difficult to avoid supratip depression, so it is difficult to obtain good cosmetic results. The authors would like to report good results, performing an augmentation rhinoplasty that raises the supratip area using the nasal septal cartilage without using an implant. Methods: Septal gap graft was used in 22 patients undergoing nasal tip surgery from January 2019 to April 2021. Septal gap graft refers to a graft that increases the height of the supratip area by using septal cartilage. Firstly, the authors perform a septal extension graft using the septal cartilage, then the authors fix the lower lateral cartilage in an ideal position, and lastly the authors heighten the nasal tip with onlay graft. The height difference between the nasal bone and the nasal tip, is solved by placing the septal cartilage. Before, during and after surgery, photometric analysis was done by taking clinical pictures. Results: Through the septal gap graft, the supratip depression index was decreased and the nasal tip projection was increased. It was confirmed that the septal gap graft was well maintained at long-term follow-up, and the patients' postoperative satisfaction was also high. Conclusions:The authors presented a new technique for augmentation rhinoplasty in Asians. Septal gap graft can be used safely and effectively to raise supratip area without using implant.
