The man with the biggest nose in the world. The longest nose in the world
The nose is the most prominent part of a person's face. Straight, with a hump, aquiline, snub-nosed, “potato-shaped” - all these are familiar nose shapes that give a person individuality. But for some people it simply amazes with its length and volume. Many people are embarrassed by such an outstanding size of their nose and even resort to the services of plastic surgeons to make it more modest. However, there are people who do not consider their large nose something strange or ugly. They are even ready to compete for the title of the person who has the most a big nose in the world.
Biggest Noses Championship
This may seem strange, but there is a real championship among those people who claim the title of the most nosed person. It takes place in the small Swiss town of Langenbruck (population only about 1,000 people). Here it is not customary to have complexes about the outstanding size of your nose. On the contrary, some are upset that it was not as long as the opponent’s. The championship in Langenbruck already has its own long history– it has been held since 1961 at intervals of once every five years.
Unusual records - the world's largest nose
Men and women from all over the world participate in this competition. The conditions for participation are the same for everyone - the person must have a nose by nature. Those who have changed the shape of their nose with plastic surgery, are not allowed to participate in the competition (although it’s hard to believe that there are people who would want to undergo surgery in order to win such an extraordinary championship). It is also prohibited to grimace while measuring parameters in order to artificially add length to the nose. A participant caught cheating will be immediately disqualified. In addition, in order to be admitted to the main stage of the competition, all participants undergo preliminary selection. Only those with noses with a length of 6 cm and a width of 4 cm or more are allowed to participate in the championship. For women, these parameters are slightly reduced - nose length fair half humanity can be from 5 cm. But they compete separately from men. According to the results of the competition, the winner is the person whose nose length and width turned out to be the most impressive. The top three are awarded cups.
The results of the above-described championship in Langenbruck are not recorded in the famous Guinness Book of Records. Therefore, even if the last winner of this competition, Hans Reust, has the most big nose in the world (unfortunately, with what parameters he won the championship is unknown), the leader of this rating will still be considered Mehmet Ozyurek. This man, who lives in Turkey, has one of the most prominent noses, measuring 8 cm and 8 mm in length. This result was officially recorded in 2011. It is noteworthy that in 2007 he already became the most “nosed” person on Earth, but with more modest results (84 mm), since in 4 years Mehmet Ozyurek’s nose had grown a little more. With such an impressive size of the respiratory organ, Mehmet does not look ugly at all - he has interesting shape a nose with a hump, which does not spoil the appearance of this Turk at all.
Mehmet Ozyurek
In the distant past, there were also people who had impressive noses. So was Gustav von Albach, a man of noble origin who lived in Germany in the 18th and 19th centuries. Albach was not too worried about his large (about 17 cm) nose. On the contrary, he took part in various balls with pleasure, entertaining guests with his appearance. There is an opinion that the famous German writer Wilhelm Hauff was inspired by the image of this man to write the fairy tale “Dwarf Nose”. A wax figure of Gustav is on display at Madame Tussauds.
Gustav von Albach
Another big-nosed man from the past is Thomas Weathers from Great Britain, who lived in the 18th century. According to some reports, his nose was 19.05 cm long! Unfortunately, we have not reached the details of the life of this man with outstanding appearance. It is only known that he performed in the circus, amusing the audience with his appearance.
Reasons for outstanding nose
More often main reason extremely big size the nose becomes a special disease known as rhinophyma. It affects the skin of the nose, increasing its size so that it begins to grow and can even block the respiratory passages, causing significant inconvenience to the patient. Scientists have not yet established the causes of such an unusual disease. It is only known that it affects mainly the male part of the population over the age of 40. Rhinophyma usually develops slowly, although it can subsequently progress quite rapidly. This disease can only be dealt with surgically. During the operation, all excess skin is cut off and the nose is shaped correct form. If everything was done efficiently, then this disease will no longer bother the patient. Relapses are possible if the affected tissue was not completely removed during surgery. In this case, the patient’s nose is left with skin containing glands, which are responsible for the spontaneous proliferation of the epithelium.
Most likely, all the big-nosed people we mentioned suffered from rhinophyma. And if you take ordinary people who do not have similar chronic diseases? Then representatives of the Kurdish ethnic group (they live mainly in Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria) can claim the title of “the world’s largest nose.” Average length the nose of these people is 5.8 cm.
In the fairy tale about Pinocchio, the main character's nose grew larger when he lied. Are people proud of the parameters of their external respiratory organ? Let's answer this question and find out who owns the largest nose in the world.
In order for the owner of an impressive organ to become famous throughout the world, he must submit an application to the editors of the Guinness Book of Records or to participate in the Big Nose Championship. The book is published annually. The competition is held in Langenbruck, Switzerland every five years.
A prerequisite is the following dimensions: length from 6 and width from 5 cm (for women at least 4 cm). Unscrupulous participants use various tricks to temporarily enlarge the nose. This threatens with lifelong disqualification. A person who appeared at the championship after rhinoplasty will suffer the same punishment.
In 2006, the Turk Mehmet Ozyurek won. The winner's nose grows at a rate of approximately 1 mm per year. The length increased by 2011 and amounted to 88, according to other sources 127 mm. The second number is the sum of the length and width. His figure was included in the Guinness Book of Things. No one has officially broken the record.
A matter of pride or complexes?
But the question of who has the biggest nose remains open. For example, Pakistani Faizan Agha has a lot of complexes because of his olfactory organ, the length of which exceeds 12 cm. Relatively recently, a video about an 81-year-old man conquered the Internet. Turkish Mehmet Gul, according to the video, he grew a nose 12.9 cm long. Men do not consider this feature their pride, and remain aloof from world fame.
It is also inappropriate for ladies to brag. The woman who won the 2011 championship wished to hide her name. It is known that the length of the nose was 10.16 cm. On October 17, 2013, Ksenia Gluntsova, a participant in the “Let's Get Married” program, stated that she is the owner of the largest nose in Russia. The girl did not confirm the words.
No need to be jealous!
Enlarging the sniffing apparatus is not a harmless physiological feature, and a rare disease is rhinophyma. It appears in men over 40 years of age. Only a small percentage of women are affected by the disease.
The disease is difficult to define initial stage no changes occur. Through certain time the nose suddenly loses its shape and becomes covered with purple and red spots.
The affected area includes blood vessels and sebaceous glands. The skin gradually sags, covering the nostrils. It is difficult for a person to breathe. You can get rid of symptoms through surgery.
Territorial feature
There are also natural causes nose growth Entire nations are distinguished by their majestic olfactory organs. According to the results of the Swiss championships, the leaders are Pakistan and Türkiye. Why Caucasian peoples Do they think that the right of primacy belongs to them?
In the 15th century, when human anatomy was poorly understood, the opinion arose: the larger the nose, the greater the manhood. Then these nations became famous. Despite the advances of science, the myth has not disappeared.
The mechanism is not completely clear to modern scientists. It is believed that this makes it easier to perceive the rarefied mountain air. This explains why Armenians have big noses. The nation ranks second in the world rankings. The Kurds are 1 mm ahead - 58 millimeters. It is curious that Georgians, who were previously outstanding in this part of the body, are approaching the average European indicators.
The generation is getting smaller
According to historical data, the Briton Thomas Wedars was famous respiratory organ more than 19 cm long. It is known about his work in the circus, but other information about the life of this man has already been forgotten.
Visitors to Madame Tussauds in London can see a wax figure of Gustav von Albach. The German had a nose 170 mm long.
Thanks to the Championship and the Guinness Book of Records, we became aware of some people with an outstanding external respiratory organ. However, most rhinophyma patients prefer to remain in the shadows.
Today we published photos of a girl with very beautiful, but incredibly long legs. What else can surprise us? human body? Let's look at people who are included in the Guinness Book of Records due to their anatomical or other features related to appearance.

The science of physiognomy
The main advantages and disadvantages of a person can be most accurately described by his eyes, eyebrows, mouth, ears and even nose. And although many things change with age, the main features remain unchanged.
The science of studying a person's character from his face originated in China. A long time ago, local shamans believed that a person’s fate lies in the basic features of his face. This is how a science appeared that studies such questions - physiognomy.
So what can he say? small nose person? If we are based on such a parameter as length, then we can say that a wide and large nose, first of all, indicates stability and calmness of character; such people are often overly conservative. For those with a small and short nose, the world opens up in radically different colors. These people are full of openness, optimism, and friendliness.
Describing people by nose
The nose is the most convex part of the face and therefore it can still be considered based on its shape. People suffering from poor concentration most often have a skinny and bony nose of small size. If it is present small hump or an inflection, then this already characterizes the person as proud, stubborn, aggressive and decisive. A small narrow nose can tell a person hard fate, since in life he will have to work hard and exhaustingly in order to achieve results. Even the degree of a person’s jealousy can be determined by a small nose, because if its proportions are much smaller than the rest of the face, the other half will certainly not be lucky, because she will have to be under constant close control.
By the way, the smallest nose in the world is in last time was noted in a girl of Slavic nationality. It is typical for intelligent, sensual and aristocratic people. The smallest size of this organ speaks of the ambition and audacity of its owner’s character. Such people are also perky and cheerful, which helps them move through life with ease, finding new interlocutors and friends almost every day.
Physiognomy of the nose
But not only the nose, but also his nostrils can tell about the basic qualities of a person. Small nostrils are characteristic weak people who have a timid, compliant and weak-willed character. Of course, you cannot judge a person only by the parameters of his nose. We must not forget that the science of “physiognomy” studies all facial features and, based on their characteristics, puts together an overall picture of the personality. Therefore, this does not mean at all that people having the same size and shape of the nose should be almost identical in their characteristic features. Not at all! The principle of physiognomy is that a person’s fate is influenced by the entire complex of basic features of his face.
Important facial detail
The nose is important detail face and its analysis should be based on a comparison of its sizes, shapes and other features. Only in this case can you find harmony and proportionality in the overall picture. The ideal woman for most men would be one who has a small nose with an upturned tip and slightly raised above the back. Such a nose not only rejuvenates a woman, but also speaks of her flexible character. These are favorable criteria for assessing the nose, which tend to change depending on age parameters.
Physiognomy once again proves that you can learn a lot about a person without saying a word to him. Human nose is a facial feature that can tell about many personality secrets.
