“…In a comprehensive study conducted on our population, Doğru et al pointed out that several measurements of the nasolabial region increase with age (15). Özkoçak et al indicated that several measurements (nasal bridge length, nasal tip protrusion, anatomic and morphologic nose width, and root width) were statistically different between age groups (16). However, although structural changes continue throughout life in the nose, nasal development and modifications progress at a slower rate in adulthood.…”

Background: In this study, the purpose was to obtain normal anthropometric data of the nose, and to determine the changes in age and gender. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the nose anthropometric measurements were made with a caliper in 874 healthy individuals who were between the ages of 5 and 64, and the nose types were de-termined for adults. The individuals were divided into 8 groups as 5-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15, 16-17, 18-40, and 41-64-year-old. The nasal length, nasal height, morphological nasal width, anatomical nasal width, nasal root width, nasal depth, lengths, nostril widths, face width, and face heights of the individu-als were measured; and the external nasal surface area, nasal volume, nasal index, nasofacial index, and nose-face width index were calculated. According to Martin and Sallar, the types of noses were classified in adults. The SPSS 20.0 Program was used for the statistical analysis of the data. Results: The most common type of nose was determined to be Mesorrhine. Statistically significant differ-ences were detected between the genders in all measurements except nasal depth. Statistically signifi-cant differences were detected in all groups in terms of all length and height measurements, morphologi-cal and anatomical nasal width values, external nasal surface areas, and nasal volume and indices. Conclusions: It is expected that detailed data about age-sex-related nose morphometry in our study will contribute to the creation of a database of our population. It is thought that these detailed data will be helpful in the determination of age and gender in forensic medicine, the reconstruction studies in anthro-pology, and the treatment plan and post-surgery evaluation to surgeons.

“…Nasal anthropometric data are needed in many medical fields including forensic medicine, orthodontics, molecular genetics, maxillofacial surgery and plastic, and reconstructive surgery. 1,7,9,15,16 Although the maturation of the nose is completed at different ages in males and females, it is almost completed after the end of puberty. 17 Changes in the shape and dimension of the nose continue in young adulthood.…”

“…Today, nasal anthropometric measurements along with surgical practice play a significant role in reconstructing nasal morphology for congenital, post-traumatic, or esthetic purposes, in a variety of races and ethnic groups. Nasal anthropometric data are needed in many medical fields including forensic medicine, orthodontics, molecular genetics, maxillofacial surgery and plastic, and reconstructive surgery 1,7,9,15,16 …”

“…2,5 Moreover, nasal reference data are commonly used to determine sexual and ethnic differences in anthropology and forensic medicine. 6,7 The nose's dimensions and shape are regarded as potential indicators of ethnic origin, race, age, and gender. [8][9][10][11] The human nose displays anatomical and morphological variations among different ethnic groups.…”

The nose has a tremendous effect on facial esthetics and overall facial harmony, accordingly it contributes to the physical appearance of individuals. The aim of this study is to establish sexrelated nasal soft tissue norms for preadolescents, adolescents, and young adults in Anatolian population. A total of 300 volunteers (150 males and 150 females) with ages varying from 10 to 24 years were divided into 6 subgroups according to gender and educational status. The anthropometric measurements of the nose in preadolescent, adolescent, and young adult males and females were performed on digital photographs. A total of 16 nasal parameters, 13 linear and 3 angular measurements, were analyzed for sex-related variations. A significant sexual dimorphism was observed for nasofrontal and nasolabial angles in adolescent and young adult groups (P < 0.001, P ¼ 0.011, and P ¼ 0.007, respectively). All linear measurements of the nose were larger in males as compared to females, except for left alar thickness, which were similar between males and females in young adult group. Of the 16 nasal measurements, 13 were found to be sexually dimorphic in certain age groups (P < 0.05). In Anatolian population, the nasal shape and dimensions displayed significant sexual dimorphism in preadolescents, adolescents, and young adults. The average values of nasal soft tissue in this population could serve as a database for the planning of cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty in the pediatric and adult population and obtaining the desired outcomes.
