Aesthetic assessment of the nose might not be limited to the nose as an isolated facial unit but might be the result of a broader perception of the whole facial image. The aim of this study was to investigate if the aesthetic evaluation of a nose is made by sole observation of the nose or influenced by the other features of the face.
Nose and face photographs of 20 voluntary models were taken from five different angles and merged into a single image of just the noses and whole faces of each model. First the nose and then the face photos were sent to a reviewer group consisting of 100 individuals from different professions to evaluate the nose's beauty on standard questionnaires with a four-week interval to complicate the recall process.
Aesthetic evaluation of the isolated nose (Group 1) and the nose with the whole face (Group 2) were compared through Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores ranging from 1 to 10 (1: the least, 10: the highest). The mean VAS score of the Whole Face Group (5.26 ± 1.28) was significantly higher than the score of the Isolated Nose Group (4.50 ± 1.32) (p 0.001). There was no significant difference between the scores of reviewers considering their gender, profession, or experience of having an aesthetic operation previously.
Current study revealed that in the evaluation of the beauty of the nose, the holistic perception of the face is as important as the perfection of the angles and proportions within the nose itself.

对鼻子的审美评估可能不仅局限于鼻子作为一个孤立的面部单位，而是可能是对整个面部形象的更广泛感知的结果。本研究旨在探讨对鼻子的审美评估是否仅通过单独观察鼻子来进行，还是受到面部其他特征的影响。
从五个不同的角度拍摄了 20 名自愿模特的鼻子和面部照片，并将这些照片合并成每个模特的鼻子和整个面部的单一图像。首先，将鼻子和面部照片发送给由来自不同职业的 100 人组成的评审团，让他们在标准问卷上对鼻子的美丽进行评估，两次评估之间间隔四周，以增加回忆过程的复杂性。
通过范围为 1 到 10 的视觉模拟量表 (VAS) 评分，比较了单独的鼻子（第 1 组）和带有整个面部的鼻子（第 2 组）的美学评估。全脸组的平均 VAS 评分（5.26±1.28）明显高于单独的鼻子组（4.50±1.32）（p<0.001）。考虑到评审员的性别、职业或之前是否有过美容手术的经验，他们的评分之间没有显著差异。
本研究表明，在评估鼻子的美丽时，对面部整体感知的重要性与鼻子本身的角度和比例的完美程度一样重要。
