“…Studies by Ofodile et al 11 and Leong et al 7 showed that Afro-American males and Chinese women had a higher mean nasal width than Saudi Arabian participants in this study. This study determined that the mean cutaneous upper lip lengths in male and female participants were very similar to those observed in the study population of Al-Qattan et al 15 According to a study conducted by Shinde et al 18 , both Indian men and women had a higher mean nose height than Saudi Arabian participants in this study. The mean nasal bridge lengths in men and women in this study were 50.36 (3.64) and 43.92 (2.82), respectively.…”

Anthropometric measurements are essential for diagnosing and treating various craniofacial disorders during nasal reconstruction and esthetic surgery. Different people have unique individual esthetic features that are a mixture of different races and backgrounds. This study aimed to compare 12 different anthropometric measurements in the Saudi Arabian population with those in other local and international studies. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 420 volunteers from December 2022 to August 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Study samples were drawn from the general population, and 12 nasal anthropometric variables were measured, including 7 linear and 5 angular variables, by taking digital photographs from frontal and lateral views. Anthropometric landmarks and measurements were obtained as previously described by Farkas et al. Photographs were analyzed using Adobe Photoshop CS4 software, and facial landmarks were identified. Data were analyzed using an independent sample t test to assess the mean and SD with differences (P<0.05 indicated a significant value). After statistical analysis, the results were compared with previously published standards for other races. Exactly 420 Saudi Arabian volunteers were examined to compare nasal anthropometric variables. All 12 nasal anthropometric variables differed significantly between male and female individuals. Anthropometry of the nose has an enormous miscellaneous relationship between sexes and populations of different geographic areas. It is important to create average anthropometric measurements for different groups for successful plastic surgery and rhinoplasty.

“…The shape of human face and head is affected by several factors like age, gender, race, ethnicity, climate and genetic factors. 1 Cephalo-facial morphometry reviews the anatomical complexes of the head and face of human being living within a similar geography. 2 It provides considerable information about physical conditions and development during growth.…”

Background:The description of the human face has been a major concern since long time. Individual identification is one such field where anthropometric parameters, especially cephalo-facial measurements, are an important tool in determining the various shapes of head and face. Hence the objective of the study was to determine the shapes of head and face. Methods:The present study was a cross-sectional and observational type which consisted of 222 individuals (115 female and 107 male). It was conducted from January to June, 2019 after receiving ethical approval. The cephalic and facial indices were derived after measuring length and breadth of head and face. The collected data was entered in excel and analyzed with SPSS (22.0). Results:The present study observed that the most common type of face was hyperleptoprosopic 168 (75.68%) followed by leptoprosopic 43 (19.37%), mesoprosopic 10 (4.50% female only) and euryprosopic 1 (0.93% male only). Similarly, the most common type of head was dolicocephalic 165 (74.33%), followed by mesocephalic 51 (22.97%), and brachycephalic 6 (2.70%). Conclusions:This study concluded that the hyperleptoprosopic face was most common type and the least common type was euryprosopic face. The most common type of head was found to be dolicocephalic and the least common type was found to be brachycephalic.
