Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but what is it, exactly, that makes one thing more appealing to the eye than another? Although art and beauty seem to go hand-in-hand, the answer to this question actually lies within a quite famous mathematical equation, known as the \u201cgolden ratio\u201d or the \u201cphi ratio.\u201d This ratio seems to be the key to understanding why we tend to view certain things as more aesthetically pleasing than others, and in fact, it can actually play a part in cosmetic procedures like nose reshaping, or <\/span>rhinoplasty<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s All about Balance<\/span><\/h3>\n

The so-called \u201cgolden number,\u201d 1.618, represented by the Greek letter Phi, stands at the heart of the golden ratio. This number comes up quite frequently in nature, and thus, many artists, sculptors, and architects have since used it in their works of art to create the most aesthetically pleasing symmetries in their subject matter. In nature, things like flowers, seashells, and pinecones all follow this magic number of symmetry, and these structures have been imitated to create the Parthenon in Greece, the Great Pyramid of Giza, Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s <\/span>Mona Lisa<\/span><\/i>, and many, many others. <\/span><\/p>\n

It might not be so surprising, then, that the golden ratio also applies to the human figure. Michelangelo famously used the golden ratio in the creation of <\/span>David<\/span><\/i>, a life-size sculpture of a nude man, and Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s <\/span>Vitruvian Man<\/span><\/i> even outlines the exact dimensions that each part of the human body should be in relation to each other to create the \u201cperfect\u201d human form. (<\/span>International Journal of Arts<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>The University of Georgia<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Because there\u2019s actually a very methodical, mathematical approach to what we consider the \u201cperfect\u201d body or the \u201cperfect\u201d nose, when performing cosmetic surgeries to enhance the shape and\/or size of a person\u2019s natural features, plastic surgeons need to be both aware of and experienced in using the golden ratio to create the most natural-looking results. A skilled plastic surgeon will take into account a person\u2019s ethnic background and the natural balance of his or her facial features when tailoring a <\/span>rhinoplasty<\/span><\/a> surgery to suit the needs and desires of that person in particular. Thus, choosing the right plastic surgeon for your rhinoplasty procedure is the most important step in achieving a beautifully balanced and natural look.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon<\/span><\/h3>\n

While any plastic surgery needs to be performed with care and a keen attention to detail, a <\/span>rhinoplasty<\/span><\/a> procedure is especially delicate because it involves the natural balance of the face. That\u2019s why committing to do plenty of research to find the right plastic surgeon to perform your nose reshaping is of the utmost importance. Here are three important qualities to look for when choosing a plastic surgeon:<\/span><\/p>\n
