A small nose is typically characterized by a short nasal bridge and narrow nostrils.
Here's a more detailed look at what defines a small nose:
-
Short Nasal Bridge: The nasal bridge, the bony part of the nose connecting the forehead to the rest of the nose, is relatively short. This can give the nose a less prominent profile.
-
Narrow Nostrils: The nostrils tend to be narrower than average, which may affect airflow to a small degree (though generally not significantly).
-
Overall Size: The overall size of the nose is proportionally smaller in relation to other facial features.
It's important to note that nose shapes vary significantly across different ethnicities. For example, people of Southeast Asian heritage, such as Vietnamese, Thai, and Filipino individuals, often have this type of nose shape. The perception of "small" is also subjective and often depends on cultural beauty standards and individual facial proportions.
