A surgeon and TikTok doctor has gone viral with a video reveling a surprising connection between the size of a man’s nose and his penis.
Dr Anthony Youn, a plastic surgeon and popular YouTuber from Troy, Michigan, shares his experience and knowledge with his 7.1 million TikTok followers.
In one of his recent clips, Dr Anthony told his followers that men with larger nose have bigger penis, while men with smaller ones had smaller attributes as well.
The video was based on a Japanese study in the Basic and Clinical Andrology, published earlier this year, and he used fictional characters incudes The Hulk and Pinocchio to illustrate the study’s findings.
His comments, shared on the social media platform, left his followers in bits, as some claimed the study was true based on the men they dated.

Dr Anthony said men who have bigger noses tend to have bigger penises. This is based on a study from Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine
‘Did you know the size of your nose correlates to the size of your penis?,’ Dr Anthony said in the video. ‘A study in Basic and Clinical Andrology found this to be true.’
The report was published in February of this year and was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine.
The research investigated how nose size could correlate to the length of a stretched penis.
The physician joked men like the fairytale character Pinocchio, pictured, are more likely to have big penises
Dr Anthony used popular culture characters to illustrate the study, saying the Hulk, left, had a small penis and Butt-head, from Beavis and Butt-Head, right had a big one
Dr Anthony summarised the finding in simple terms, saying: ‘Men with larger nose had an average wiener length of 5.3in, whereas men with shorter noses had an average length of 4.1in.’
In a bid to help comfort those who may now be feeling self-conscious of their genitals, he confirmed that this means Marvel’s ‘The Hulk’ will in fact have a ‘tiny wee wee’ whereas ‘Butt-Head’ from the comedy television show, Beavis and Butt-Head, would pack out his trousers.
The study also concluded that penile length may not be determined by age, height or bodyweight – but actually before birth as a result.
It also stated that the penis stops growing during men’s teenage years.
Dr Anthony then used a filter to make his nose appear bigger, to end the video on a tongue-in-cheek note.
The Dr put a filter on his face to joke he actually had a bigger penis than people thought in the video
The physician, pictured, has more than 7 million followers on TikTok where he dispenses advice and shares his experience
The popular post was viewed more than 7.2 million times, racking up 723,400 likes.
Although shocked, many of Dr Anthony’s followers confirmed this fact.
One person commented: ‘Speaking from experience, this is true.’
Another added: ‘I actually started to notice this a while ago with guys I go out with!!! It is almost 90% true.’
Another viewer said: ‘Squidward becoming squidwood.’
Someone else wrote: ‘So sorry for Voldemort.’
Another viewer, who said that the discovery has changed their life forever, added: ‘OMG thanks!!! Now I’m gonna be looking at every guys nose!’ followed by two laughing face emojis. [sic.]
People found the video hilarious, and others said they also believed the study’s findings to be true
Other viewers were able to see the funny side, and one person said: ‘I snort laughed so bad I woke my husband in the other room,” followed by three laughing face emojis.
Japanese researchers studied the corpses of 126 middle-aged men within three days of their death as part of the study.
A host of measurements documented their height, weight, flaccid penile length, penile circumference, right and left testicular weights, and prostate weight.
A scientist was also tasked with laying each cadaver down and pulling the penis up vertically as far as it would go to get a measurement for stretched penile length.
This, researchers say, is an accurate way of replicating a penis’ length when erect.
Nose size was also documented by measuring the distance from between a person’s eyes to where the nostril starts near the tip of the olfactory organ.
Statistical analysis revealed nose length was correlated to the size of a person’s engorged member.
They found men with noses smaller than 1.8 inches had a penis size of up to 4.1 inches.
However, for people with a nose that is 22 per cent bigger and measures 2.2 inches long, their penises were larger, measuring 5.3 inches long.
For people with noses which fall into the middle of this range, the average penis size was 4.5 inches. In Japan, the average penis size is 4.5 inches, according to previous research.
The new study also found, unsurprisingly, a strong link between a penis’s flaccid length and its erect length.
However, there was no connection between the size of a man’s nose and the length of his penis when soft.
The researchers put this down to variability in how efficient a penis is at swelling, with some people being ‘growers’ and others noted ‘showers’.
In the study, published in Basic and Clinical Andrology, scientists from the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine did not look at why nose and penis length is linked.
Instead, their observational study only found a connection between the dimensions of the body parts.
‘This study is the first to demonstrate the relationship between stretched penile length and nose size but is limited in Japanese male cadavers, and the reason why stretched penile length and nose size are related is still unclear,’ the researchers write.
‘Therefore, we consider it an interesting subject to pursue from now on.’
However, previous studies have found that an unborn baby’s level of exposure to androgens while in their mother’s womb can influence penile length.
They also say that androgens — a group of hormones which includes testosterone — has been previously linked to the 2D:4D ratio.
This states that androgen exposure can alter the length of a person’s index and ring fingers and therefore the size ration of the two digits.
Previous studies have indicated the 2D:4D ratio and the speculated androgen link can can be used to predict food choices and even a person’s sexuality.
