Genetics of Nose Shape with Dr. Randy Sanovich, Board-Certified Surgeon at Dallas Surgical Arts

Many patients are curious about the genetics of nose shape and how that contributes to their facial aesthetic. Understanding that genetic factors influencing nose shape can shed light on the potential for cosmetic alteration through rhinoplasty. Dr. Randy Sanovich, a board-certified surgeon at Dallas Surgical Arts, is here to help patients achieve their desired appearance.

Inheritance Patterns

Research suggests that specific genes determine the size, length, width, and projection of the nose and that nose shape can be influenced by both dominant and recessive genes. After studying the characteristics of certain nose shapes, researchers from the University of London identified DCHS2, RUNX2, GLI3, and PAX1 as the genes responsible for changing nose shape and other facial features. These genes contribute to the development of cartilage and bone, which form the structural framework of the nose, and variations in these genes are what lead to differences in nose shape among the population.
