A flat nose is generally characterized by a lower nasal bridge.
Understanding the Flat Nose
A "flat nose," often referred to as a low nasal bridge, is defined by the reduced height of the bony structure at the top of the nose. Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Lower Nasal Bridge: According to our reference material, a flat nose is generally a result of a lower nasal bridge, which is the bony part at the top of the nose where glasses would sit.
-
Prevalence: The reference material notes that "The nasal bridge is lower for many people, particularly those of Asian or African descent, leading to a flatter side profile and broader nasal base."
Characteristics of a Flat Nose
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Nasal Bridge Height | Lower than average, resulting in a less prominent projection from the face. |
| Side Profile | Appears flatter due to the reduced projection of the nose. |
| Nasal Base | Often appears broader. |
