The Golden Ratio, first defined by Leonardo Da Vinci in the 1500s, is sometimes referred to as the “divine ratio” because of its apparently pre-planned beauty in nature. In short, it’s a mathematical formula used to determine how beautiful something is. This post outlines the relationship between the Golden Ratio and the perfect nose. The Golden Ratio and the Perfect Nose The Golden Ratio is used for determining the ideal nose shape. When combined with the competent, technical expertise of a skilled plastic surgeon, you can achieve your aesthetic goals. There is a reason why people seeking rhinoplasty, non surgical rhinoplasty, or revision rhinoplasty spend so much time evaluating different plastic surgeons before deciding on the surgeon who will operate on their nose. If only a few mathematical ratios were required to achieve the optimal nose form, plastic surgeons would not be nearly as crucial. Ideally, the ratio of 1 to 1.618 applies to the nose width and nose length, respectively. What Is an Attractive Nose? According to studies, a button nose is the ideal female nose shape. It is raised at the tip and has a narrower nasal bridge. A button nose is a small, round nose that resembles the shape of a button. This nose shape is highly feminine and is frequently wanted by ladies seeking a nose job. Its tip should be at a 90-degree angle with the top lip for the ideal male nose. Long, straight noses that point down are often seen as good-looking for men. If the end sticks out just a little bit (by two millimetres), it’s also liked by many. Who Has the Perfect Nose in the World? While this is regarded to be the ideal nose shape, it is vital to note that there is no such thing. Every face is unique, and we must examine each individual’s facial proportions. As such, individuals with a nose shape in terms of width, length, nose tip, nostril size, and angle are considered ideal. Does the Nasal Tip Matter for the Perfect Nose? The size, shape, and protrusion of the tip determine much of the nose’s aesthetics and beauty. However, for other people, the tip is perfectly good and should be left alone. You and your surgeon can decide on tip adjustments together. In some cases, the nasal tip has to be adjusted to achieve facial balance. In other cases, a chin implant is needed to match your nose. However, you should be careful of fake chin implant procedures and only work with certified cosmetic surgeons. Is a Perfect Nose Straight? This nose type is thought to be attractive, as it is ideal for both males and females and is regarded as the perfect nose by surgeons. However, beauty is always subjective and in some cultures, even noses that aren’t straight are deemed attractive. Plastic Surgeons Say These Are the Most Sought-After Celebrity Noses Bella Hadid Like Kate Beckinsale, Bella Hadid has a smooth nasal bridge with a slightly upturned tip. However, just because her nose is ideal for her doesn’t mean it’s perfect for everyone. Plastic surgeons claim she is frequently cited in their profession as well. She had a significant rhinoplasty with a clearly created ski-slope and ‘done’ look. Beyonce Beyonce has a nice nose with just enough fullness at the tip. For this reason, patients love her natural-looking nose. Repairing a bulbous nose tip to get a nose like Beyonce, which appears to have a slight ball at the end, is considered one of the most difficult cosmetic nose procedures. When executing this challenging procedure, the rhinoplasty surgeon either narrows or inserts cartilage for stability and better definition. Jodie Comer Patients admire Jodie Comer’s precise upturn of the tip. The secret to getting Comer’s nose is to not have too much of the nostrils exposed. A nice alar might also be needed to match the narrow bridge of the nose, just like Comer’s. For a patient to have this, rhinoplasty procedures may be required to strengthen the ligaments and repair the tip by adding, removing, or rearranging cartilage. However, no two noses are alike because it is determined by the patient’s cartilage and skin. Choosing a Nose Shape and Nose Size When Considering Rhinoplasty Surgery One of the most difficult problems for surgeons is identifying what the patient wants from their procedure. To acquire what you want, you must comprehend and adhere to a specific formula. Because everyone has a unique face, determining the qualities and characteristics of a nose that will suit a certain face can be challenging. In general, most people wish to adjust a few items that they regard as reference points. To begin with, most people desire a narrow nose. As a result, narrowing the overall breadth is a critical component of rhinoplasty. Another desirable trait is an ideal nasal tip. Many people have thick nasal skin, which causes the nose tip to be round rather than pointed. The nostrils are intended to transport air into the lungs. It does, however, play an important function in the aesthetic appearance of the face. Alarplasty can aid in the creation of identical smaller or symmetrical nostrils. The angle between the base of the nose and the top half of your upper lip is the main factor for defining an optimal nose. This can help distinguish a more feminine or masculine nose. Finally, your nose should complement the rest of your face. A beautiful nose with asymmetrical facial features wouldn’t make much of a difference. Ensure the Best Results From Your Rhinoplasty Prepare for a safe and smooth procedure by first studying how to prepare for rhinoplasty. It is critical to take any surgery seriously in order to minimise risks and enhance the outcome. A good recovery is dependent on preparing your body and mind ahead of time. Qualified and skilled plastic surgeons understand that each patient has unique requirements. They have significant expertise in performing rhinoplasty treatments and assisting the patient in preparing for successful procedures. Always consult your plastic surgeon about what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. Post-Rhinoplasty Patients This woman received filler therapy and was dissatisfied with the shape of her nostrils and the asymmetry of her nose. She went to me and underwent rhinoplasty under anaesthesia. At my clinic, every patient’s procedure is given enough time. It took time to remove the filler, and the procedure was over an hour longer than anticipated. The patient was delighted with the outcome though, and you can see how her nose became way better. This 20-year-old woman disliked the size and form of her chin and nose. She sought a surgeon with an aesthetic vision who could also enhance the appearance of her nose and face. She got rhinoplasty with chin augmentation under sedation anesthesia following a thorough consultation with me, Dr. De Silva. I corrected the lower third of her face with chin augmentation and contoured her nasal bridge by lowering the high bridge to create a smooth and level bridge. The after picture, which was taken six weeks following surgery, demonstrate enhanced facial harmony and balance as well as a more feminine nasal bridge and curved tip. The unusually large size and form of this woman’s nose tip worried her. In an open rhinoplasty, I shaped the cartilage in the patient’s nasal tips and added support for the bridge of her nose with sculpted grafts. The “post” shot reveals a more refined nasal tip, a mild elevation of her nose, and a shorter nose, all of which look natural and improve the harmony of her facial features.

Is it possible to define beauty? Why do we find one person more attractive than the other? Is it possible to enhance our face in a non-surgical way to meet objective beauty standards? These same questions led Dr Julian De Silva, world-renowned facial cosmetic and plastic surgeon, to a pioneering study and utilisation of the Phi Golden Ratio to scientifically evaluate the human face. As a result, he uses a customized facial mapping technique, along with non-surgical treatments, to enhance facial beauty in his Harley Street, London office. What is face mapping? Face mapping comes from a Chinese and Ayurvedic practice to assess overall health by looking at facial skin. The underlying belief is that facial skin issues are linked to other parts of the body, such as malfunctioning organs or imbalanced hormones. This technique has evolved over the centuries and is used today to accurately assess the condition of the skin to design the best treatment plan. How does face mapping work? Face mapping divides the skin into 14 different skin zones, such as forehead, eyes, cheeks, chin, and ears. It also takes into account the differences between the left and right side of the face, the spacing between the facial features, and analyzes symmetry. Combining this traditional technique with modern cosmetic expertise allows for a thorough skin evaluation and comprehensive treatment plan. Dr De Silva, London expert in advanced surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments, takes face mapping a step further to include the Phi Golden Ratio of beauty. Measuring beauty: the Phi Golden Ratio People have always been interested in beauty and making beautiful things. The ancient Greek used a mathematical ratio to measure beauty and harmony. This golden ratio was used in Greek architecture, famous renaissance paintings and is the basis for Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, his definition of the perfect male body. In his search for a tool to objectively measure beauty, Dr De Silva applied this Golden Ratio of beauty to the human face with customized face mapping at his Harley Street office in London. Mapping the beauty of famous people Dr De Silva´s pioneering UK study has led to interesting world-wide discoveries. According to this Golden Ratio, Robert Pattinson has the world’s most handsome face. Other actors such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt score high in meeting these beauty standards as well. The most interesting part about this striking research? It is not only possible to understand natural beauty, but also to effectively enhance it with non-invasive facial cosmetic treatments. Objective measurement in combination with skilled artistry makes natural beauty more accessible for everyone.

People typically experience the first signs of ageing in their late 20s and early 30s. Depending on your genetic background, lifestyle, and how much sun exposure you’ve experienced, you may start to notice fine lines and sunspots. The skin will also become less firm because of the natural decrease in collagen production that we experience as we age. Dr Julian De Silva has noticed that the average age for first-time cosmetic surgery is falling in his London practice on Harley Street. Here are 5 Reasons he believes you should consider cosmetic procedures in your 20s or 30s. 1. Beautification & Early Prevention Most cosmetic procedures are performed on patients between the age of 35 and 60 as this is when the ageing process is most visible. More frequently, non-surgical treatments can be used to rebalance facial characteristics to enhance or beautify your face with the application of the golden ratio and enhancing natural facial characteristics. The best time to start treating wrinkles is when they first appear. Today, the average age for cosmetic treatment is dropping and luckily, there are some effective London treatments that can prevent wrinkles from forming so your skin stays looking youthful. Baby anti-wrinkle treatment or mini anti-wrinkle treatment are good examples. Other treatments with dermal fillers are also very suitable cosmetic procedures to undergo in your 20s or 30s. 2. Boost Your Confidence There are a number of facial cosmetic procedures that people choose to undergo at an early age. Some of the most popular ones include: Nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) Lip augmentation Ear surgery (otoplasty) Some teens also feel uncomfortable with their appearance from an early age and dream about making a little adjustment to their nose or ears to restore balance in their faces. When they come of age and their bodies are full-grown they may decide to undergo surgery. 3. Enhance Your Collagen Production Collagen is a protein that is naturally present in your skin. It is one of the main building blocks of skin and tissue and can be described as the glue that holds the skin together. It is what gives our skin its youthful firmness. As we age, the production of collagen decreases. This process typically starts in a person’s 30s. There are various cosmetic procedures that can stimulate a person’s collagen production, most notably, laser resurfacing. In addition to activating collagen production, this procedure can even out discolouration caused by sunspots. 4. Desired Results With Less Invasive Treatments By committing to cosmetic procedures at a younger age, patients can enjoy their desired results without having to go under the knife. A non-surgical facial beautification is especially suitable for patients who wish to beautify their face (use of the golden ratio) or with early signs of facial ageing who have a loss of facial volume but minimal skin laxity. This procedure is: Less invasive than a surgical facelift Gives fast and natural-looking results Requires little to no downtime 5. Early Treatment Saves Time and Money Patients who opt for a cosmetic procedure in their 20s or 30s can save a lot of time and money. During each initial consultation, Dr De Silva creates a comprehensive plan outlining which procedure is best based on each patient’s individual goals. All cosmetic treatments are planned ahead so the investment made is smaller and recovery time is shorter. The right treatments and surgeries at an early age may rule out the need for corrective, more complicated procedures later in life. Find a Reputable Cosmetic Doctor in London Before you undergo any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to do your research. Plastic surgery or non-invasive cosmetic treatments should only be performed by a well-trained specialist that has a track record for providing his patients with excellent results.

The goal of any plastic surgery is to improve your appearance and in many cases it does just that. Everyone has imperfections that they wish they could change. Plastic surgery has become a common avenue to try and address these concerns. However, some plastic surgery gives patients an irreversible, fake, stiff, puffy, or unnatural look. Whether it be in the media, on TV, or a close friend, we have all seen someone that has taken plastic surgery too far, ironically adding years to their appearance instead of enhancing the way they look. Hopefully, these tips from Dr Julian De Silva and his London based practice can give you a better understanding and help you avoid the common mistakes in plastic surgery today. Avoid Overuse of Dermal Fillers The use of dermal fillers in plastic surgery has become a popular and effective tool to help tighten, lift, and fill sagging or droopy skin. When used properly, dermal fillers can transform a person’s appearance, eliminating wrinkles to rejuvenate the skin. Unfortunately, some patients inject too much filler in a given area causing extreme swelling and puffiness, making them look years older than they actually are. It is important to keep the face looking proportional when considering plastic surgery. If cheeks or lips are injected with too much filler, the face will look unsymmetrical and noticeably fake. When considering how much filler to use, keep in mind that less is more. The goal at our Central London practice is always to minimize the evidence of plastic surgery and maintain a natural, revitalized look. More dermal filler can always be added if a patient is dissatisfied with the changes, but it is very difficult to regain a natural, subtle look of the face after too much filler is injected. Bigger Is Not Always Better While a fuller face might be well suited for a sizeable lip augmentation, a narrow or slender face might be better suited for a more subtle lip enhancement. This also holds true when considering other parts of the body as well. When it comes to bodily features, it is important to have a realistic and natural vision of your intended results. For example, extremely large breasts do not always work with a slim and sleek physique. In any case, it is important to keep a realistic and organic proportionality to your appearance to avoid an overdone and older look. Always Consult a Specialist When choosing between doctors for any procedure, it is vital to understand the strengths and weaknesses of every practice. Dr De Silva, for example, is a face and neck cosmetic specialist. His Central London team of experts have been specifically trained to advise patients on areas such as the nose, cheeks, lips, forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids, among other facial features. We understand the best techniques to accent the natural aesthetic of the face without creating an irregular looking face.
