Nasal septum
The nasal septum performs an important function in our nose, ensuring an even distribution of air flow between the right and left lobes of the nose. With the help of the nasal septum, the harmonious fulfillment of the following conditions is achieved: warming, cleansing, moisturizing. When the nasal septum is deviated, these functions are disrupted.
A deviated nasal septum is one of the most common diseases of the nasal cavity.

According to statistics, a deviated nasal septum is quite rare in young children; most often, almost half of all adults suffer from this disease, and in men, a deviated nasal septum is much more common than in women.
The baby's nasal septum is smooth and straight. Almost all of it consists of cartilaginous tissue, in which there are islands of ossification. Over time, the nasal septum turns into a bone one, and the bones grow together. As a person grows and certain processes in the body are disrupted, the nasal septum begins to bend.
Causes of a deviated nasal septum
- uneven growth of the skull bones, which leads to the fact that the dimensions of the nasal cavity also change, the nasal septum becomes crowded in the nasal cavity, and it has to bend;
- traumatic causes (most often they are typical for boys and men): as a result of a strong blow, the nasal bones are displaced, the nasal septum is deformed and the bones do not heal properly, which leads to a curvature of the nasal septum;
- the presence of polyps and tumors of the nasal mucosa, which leads to breathing problems in one of the nostrils, and then to a curvature of the nasal septum;
- hypertrophy (uneven development of one of the nasal conchas), putting pressure on the nasal septum.
Deviation of the nasal septum. Symptoms.
A deviated nasal septum can “give itself away” with the following symptoms:
- asymmetrical shape of the nose (especially noticeable when the nasal septum is deviated as a result of injury);
- constant chronic runny nose (impaired nasal breathing, mucous discharge from the nose);
- reflex headaches that arise as a result of constant touching of the nasal mucosa by the deviated nasal septum;
- loud snoring at night;
- nosebleeds that appear due to thinning of the mucous membrane in the direction of the curvature of the nasal septum;
- decreased performance, increased fatigue of the body due to reduced oxygen supply to the blood;
- discomfort during nasal breathing;
- frequent acute respiratory infections with coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever;
- sore throat, sore throat, cough;
- hearing loss as a result of inflammation in the ear;
- decreased olfactory abilities;
- absent-mindedness, memory impairment.

People with a hooked nose often give the impression of self-confident people with a tough character, but in reality they are much more vulnerable than they seem. People with such a nose are emotional, sensitive and vulnerable, but at the same time temperamental, generous and sincere. Due to their inherent incontinence, they often feel guilty, so throughout their lives they try to work on their character.
Types of deviated nasal septum
The vast majority of adults have slight deviations of the nasal septum. But they do not interfere with proper air circulation through the nostrils and proper breathing.
The following types of deviated nasal septum are known:
- deviated nasal septum;
- crest;
- thorn;
- a combination of various types of curvature.
Most often, people have a deviated nasal septum in the front part. Deformations of the posterior part of the nasal septum are less common.
Configuration of the nasal septum and turbinates with a deviated septum: a - slight curvature of the nasal septum; b — S-shaped curvature of the nasal septum; c — curvature of the nasal septum at an angle.
Perfect nose

A straight nose, average in all respects, is considered ideal. People with which nose clearly know what they want and confidently move towards their goal. It is pleasant to deal with them: they take into account the interests of others, know how to behave in society and have adequate self-esteem. They do not tend to create illusions, wish for the impossible and blindly trust people. It is quite difficult to mislead such a person.
Diagnostics of the nasal septum
To find out whether you need surgery on the nasal septum, you need to undergo a comprehensive diagnosis. Diagnosis includes an external examination by an ENT doctor, rhinoscopy, and the use of additional laboratory tests and tests.
An external examination by an otorhinolaryngologist allows you to determine the type of nose. In addition, the doctor evaluates nasal breathing. By bringing the cotton wool separately to each nostril, the vibration of the villi is examined during inhalation and exhalation.
An assessment of a person's sense of smell is also carried out for each nostril separately. The patient must identify the smell on the cotton wool with his eyes closed. If there is a curvature of the nasal septum, then the sense of smell is usually reduced.

Thanks to rhinoscopy, examination of the nasal cavity is achieved using special instruments. In his examination, the doctor may use anterior and posterior rhinoscopy.
Anterior rhinoscopy is used to better examine the nasal cavity and the formations there. It is performed using a nasal dilator and a special probe. Using anterior rhinoscopy, you can see nasal polyps, hematomas, abscesses and tumors in the nasal cavity.
Posterior rhinoscopy is an examination of the nasopharynx and nasal cavity from the mouth. This is done using a spatula and a special mirror.
Classic facial parameters
Correct facial features are primarily proportional. To understand whether this is so, visually divide your face into three equal parts. The height of the forehead, the length of the nose and the line from the end of the nose to the tip of the chin should be the same. Based on this, we can draw conclusions about the length of the nose, the height of the forehead and the size of the chin. If we talk about the width of the lower part of the nose, then it should correspond to the distance between the eyes.
Thin nose

Those with a thin nose do not have the easiest character. First of all, these people think about their own interests, and sometimes demand attention from loved ones too insistently. They are also prone to snobbery. They are not interested in communicating with people of lower social status.

Surgical nose
This is the name given to a nose that has been worked on by a surgeon. Many girls with low self-esteem undergo rhinoplasty. Their nose, as a rule, is ideal and symmetrical, but it indicates that its owner depends on public opinion, is not self-confident, dependent and vulnerable.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this; every person is the creator of his own body. But we encourage you to love yourself the way nature created you. After all, our appearance is our highlight!

Long nose with a curved tip

Such people always strive to change their lives for the better. They are also demanding of themselves and are not ready to be satisfied with the average result of their achievements. They are emotional and strive to find personal happiness. They don’t need relationships without high feelings. For the sake of a loved one, owners of a nose with a curved tip are ready to do a lot, but they expect complete reciprocity from him.
Character by nose shape
The nose is the most prominent part of the face, which is considered to be the starting point in determining the character of a person. The ideal length of the respiratory organ has long been considered to be approximately one third of the length of the face. A nose that does not reach this length is considered short, and a nose that exceeds it is considered long. So what can its length tell us?
- Short nose . General characteristics of the owner of such a nose: attractiveness, openness, impulsiveness. In work he needs constant recognition, in love he needs approval. Characterized by optimism, often the soul of the party
- A long nose . The owner of such a nose is a balanced person. Sexually he is quite active and strives for power. He has a wonderful sense of humor, delicate taste, and is proud. Stubborn disposition, responsible in business, serious.
- Large and long nose . The general characteristics of the character are stubbornness and self-will. Demanding of his surroundings.
How much does the operation cost?
At the Elena Malysheva Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic, two wonderful doctors receive patients and perform surgery.
- Branovan Igor Mikhailovich is a world-famous doctor who heads the Ear, Nose and Throat Institute in New York and also works in Moscow. Dr. Branovan is a brilliant surgeon, developing his own treatment methods and improving existing surgical methods. The cost of septoplasty with Igor Mikhailovich is 140,000 rubles.
- Gorin Dmitry Semenovich – ENT doctor and surgeon, Candidate of Medical Sciences. Dr. Gorin trained at the Ear, Nose and Throat Institute in New York City and works with children and adults. Septoplasty with Dmitry Semenovich costs 80,000 rubles.
How to determine character by the shape of the tip of the nose
- tip bent down - rancor, cunning, insight;
- the presence of a dimple indicates the sensitivity of its owner, responsiveness and diligence at work. Emotional when there are failures. Such a person spends a long time searching for his soul mate, due to excessive demands;
- snub-nosed - great willpower, capriciousness, intemperance;
- the chopped tip indicates the owner’s independence, self-confidence, and hypersexuality;
- bifurcated – aversion to noisy parties, indecisiveness, lack of self-confidence
We cannot say for sure whether the shape of the nose affects the character of a man and a woman. In particular, will these properties change after the reshaping operation? However, there is an opinion that by changing something in our body, we change our destiny. But is it possible to predict: for the better or for the worse? If you want to correct anything in the shape of your nose, we recommend that you think several times and weigh the pros and cons. Articles on our website will help you, which will tell you in detail about the operation called rhinoplasty. You will become familiar with the indications and contraindications, the progress of the correction, and possible complications.
Fleshy nose

A fleshy nose is found in optimistic people who know how to benefit from any life lesson. They make contact easily and treat other people kindly. Usually, owners of such a nose have a fairly extensive social circle and many useful connections acquired through their own generosity and ability to understand other people.
Short or small nose

People with a light and easy-going character have a disproportionately short nose. They treat other people with understanding, are patient and not prone to criticism. Sometimes they suffer because of their kindness and excessive openness, but this does not make them more withdrawn. Such people quickly forget about any troubles and almost always remain optimistic.
Da Vinci Code - ideal nose proportions
Da Vinci thought for a long time, calculated, and eventually created drawings that plastic surgeons around the world still rely on. These drawings describe the ideal relationship between the parts of a woman's face.
What is the formula for an ideal nose? And why did even such a beautiful woman as Angelina Jolie, having walked more than one red carpet and received a lot of film awards, change the shape of her nose at the age of 25?
For example, let's look at two actresses. Why does Elena Korikova’s face seem more harmonious to others than Sarah Jessica Parker’s face?
It is known that wide-set eyes and a small nose are considered beautiful. According to the classical canons
the distance between the eyes should be equal to the width of the palpebral fissure, and the boundaries of the nose should not extend beyond the lines drawn through the inner corners of the eyes.
The nose looks unsightly if it is wider than the prescribed formula. Also, close-set eyes visually make the nose wider than it actually is. Rhinoplasty can correct this deficiency - if the tip is too wide, the nose will become smaller and the eyes will appear wider. Note that Angelina Jolie initially had a wide tip of her nose. Cute - but not by Hollywood standards of beauty.
Ideal nose length
described by the equality a, b and c. This distance from the hairline to the eyebrows = the distance from the eyebrow line to the line drawn under the nose = equal to the distance from the line drawn under the nose to the chin line.
Ideal ratio between lips and nose.
We draw imaginary lines through the inner edge of the pupils. The boundaries of the lips should reach these lines. The mouth should be approximately one and a half (1.5) times wider than the nose.
The proportions of the nasolabial angle to the tip of the nose are also important
The nasolabial angle is, in profile, the angle from the protruding tips of the lips to the tip of the nose. The nasolabial angle > 90 degrees looks beautiful.
Let's explore the profile further... The line from the forehead to the bridge of the nose
should be 30-40 degrees. Other proportions create the shape of a nose, which is often called large, uneven, long, etc. If the specified angle is smaller, it also does not look aesthetically pleasing - the face seems expressionless, flat.
Nostril area or “column”, or, in professional language, “columella”
should be lowered just below the level of the wings.
All these formulas for a beautiful, proportional face are taken into account in the work of an experienced plastic surgeon . As you now understand, rhinoplasty is truly an artistic and at the same time precise work, comparable to the skill of a jeweler. Your face deserves the best master!

Wide nose
Latin Americans, Africans, and Mongols naturally have such noses. And there are many Russian girls with wide noses. Such a nose adds sexuality to many girls, because it conveys the image of a savage, and men are hunters by nature.
The character of a savage girl is very unstable, she can be playful and resemble a child in her mood, but at the same time, if it comes to something serious, the savage will show who is in charge and can even transform into a “tribal leader.”
