“…In the literature, it is seen that the studies about nose measurement are carried out in methods such as direct measurement, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] two-dimensional (2D) photogrammetry, 1,4,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and three-dimensional (3D) [35][36][37][38] methods. Also, in some studies, more than one method was used.…”

Although many studies in the literature examine distances and angles about the nose, there are no clear standard values for different races and ethnic groups. The aim of this study is to determine the anthropometric measurement standards related to the external nose in Turkish young adults between the ages of 18 and 25. The subjects participating in this study were 100 female and 100 male volunteers. Six landmarks (nasion, subnasale, pronasale, alar, subalar and maxillofrontale) on the nose were chosen, and these landmarks were identified on the photographs. Then, using these landmarks, a total of seven distances (nose height, dorsum of nose length, distance between the subnasale and pronasale, nose width, right nostril floor width, left nostril floor width and root of nose width) and four angles (nasofrontal, nasofacial, nasomental and nasolabial angles) measurements were made. There were statistically significant differences between gender in nine parameters. One parameter (nasofrontal angle) is higher in females, and seven parameters (nose height, dorsum of nose length, nose width, right nostril floor width, left nostril floor width, root of nose width and nasofacial angle) are higher in males. It is accepted that distances and angles about the nose differ according to race and ethnicity. The authors believe that the results obtained in this study will help determine the standard values that can be used for the Turkish population between the ages of 18 and 25.

“…Understanding the characteristics of the human nose, the different angles and measurements, and the diversity of the noses among different ethnicities is important for rhinoplasty surgeons during the perioperative planning phase so that the esthetic appearance of the face could be achieved and culturally accepted outcomes could be ensured 3. Although the noses of Middle Eastern individuals can be applied to 4 races (Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and North African), previous studies have described them with a focus on the Persian nose4,5,8–10 Only 1 study measured the anthropometry of Arabian women noses 2. In this study, we compared the angular variables of Arabian women patients undergoing rhinoplasty with previously measured angular variables in the general women population.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the average values of the angular nasal anthropometric variables in Arabian women seeking rhinoplasty and compare them with the normal values. A total of 150 female patients, who underwent rhinoplasty between January 2018 and November 2021, were enrolled in this study. The exclusion criteria were a history of nasal trauma, previous rhinoplasty, and a cleft nose. Data were obtained from standardized digital photographic images. Lateral and basal views were analyzed using landmarks defined by a single observer and measurements were performed using Adobe Photoshop Software SC6. All data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 software (IBM) and compared with the normal values obtained from a previous study. All facial angles, except for the nasofrontal angles, were significantly different between the surgical and nonsurgical normal groups. The values (means ± SDs) in the surgical group were as follows: nasofacial angle, 29.7 ± 3.4 degrees; nasofrontal angle, 146.2 ± 2.8 degrees; glabella-nasal angle, 169.8 ± 5.8 degrees; nasolabial angle, 113.5 ± 11 degrees; nasomental angle, 130.6 ± 6 degrees; nasal tip angle, 102.3 ± 8 degrees; ala-slope angle, 95.4 ± 13.6 degrees. The nose characteristics of Arabian women seeking rhinoplasty were as follows: (1) shallow radix, (2) under the projected tip, and (3) normal tip rotation. Surgical planning is important upon consideration of any procedure or modification of the nose among Arabian women.

“…Other studies have shown significant differences in nasal characteristics and nasolabial area measurements between races and ages. 17,18 These measurements are important in the field of plastic surgery to study facial proportions and aesthetics but are still far from being applicable to the design and clinical application of total nose reconstruction surgery. In the future, total nasal reconstruction will show a personalized development trend, but personalized reconstruction must be based on the parameters of normal noses.…”

Background: The nose is an unpaired facial structure. Applying three-dimensional rapid printing to total nose reconstruction is difficult because no paired structure is available for reference. In this study, three-dimensional laser scanning was used to create a database of normal external noses of Han Chinese individuals in East China to assist in total nose reconstruction. Methods: Three-dimensional laser scanning was used to create a database of normal external noses. Patients scheduled for nasal reconstruction had their measurements scaled according to head circumference and facial proportions to simulate a new reconstructed shape for the residual nose using this database. The personalized new shape was produced using rapid three-dimensional printing for preoperative evaluation and surgical design. Results: In the database of external noses, the medium nose type was the main type among Han adults in East China (64.15 percent), followed by the narrow nose type (26.34 percent). Quantitative analysis showed that blood loss and operative times were lower in the study group than in the traditional surgery group (p < 0.05). A postoperative nasal appearance satisfaction questionnaire showed that the appearance satisfaction rate, daily life measures, and perioperative comfort were significantly better in the study group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The database of external noses can bridge three-dimensional printing with total nasal reconstruction. The database has important clinical significance for optimizing the shape of the nose, reducing intraoperative blood loss, shortening the operative time, and improving patient satisfaction. This study provides new insight for the application of computer-guided three-dimensional scanning and rapid printing in organ reconstruction.
