The New Fad in Beauty: Kate Middleton’s Nose

Women from the U.S. to the U.K. are lining up for the cosmetic procedure that will redefine their nose to reflect the likes of royal beauty Kate Middleton. This procedure, technically known as rhinoplasty, is one of today’s most common and accepted facial plastic surgery procedures. While the Duchess of Cambridge is widely recognized for her beauty, the idea that her nose, or any celebrity beauty’s nose, may be the perfect nose is often not the reality for many.

Each individual has his or her own understanding of beauty, including how their particular features resemble or detract from that standard. No matter what our different notions may be or how they change over time, the nose remains the focal point of our face and is therefore the single feature that collectively balances our overall facial attractiveness.

The goal of the cosmetic surgeon in performing rhinoplasty is to combine realistic expectations with natural results that enhance overall facial appearance. In order to do this, many factors must be considered by a facial plastic surgeon, such as individual nasal bone density, nasal length, nasal bridge width, nostril size/shape, skin thickness and even skin color. The objective is to maintain facial harmony between all features, not create an overly operated look. For this reason, it is essential that the nose be customized to your individual features. The reality is that the nose you desire may or may not be the nose that best complements your face. In other words, Kate Middleton’s nose may not look as good on you as it does on her.

Today, many plastic surgeons offer computerized digital imaging to help communicate patient desires and realistic goals. Consult with Dr. Haitham Masri, an experienced facial plastic surgeon for guidance and a personalized recommendation. Every face is different, every feature unique. There is no simple definition for the perfect nose – only the perfect balance.
