The human nose protruding as a pyramid from the midface is unique in the realm of mammals. In the earlier days, the nose was considered as an important structure in the middle of the face aesthetically and as a simple double tube for the passage of air to the lungs. It was also thought to have a relationship with the personality of a person. From the religious side, the nose was very important: “The life force within man came when God blew into his nostrils the soul of life and man became a living being” (Genesis 2:7).
