“…This conclusion is supported by Alharethy, who revealed that a straight nasal dorsum is the most desirable nasal profile in the Middle Eastern region, and that a posterior nasal dorsum within 2 mm is the most approved male nasal dorsum. 25 The findings of a study conducted by Yu et al also corroborate ours by showing that a straight dorsum is the most acceptable nasal form among both males and females. 17 The neoclassical cannons suggest that the most esthetically pleasing AW is equal to the intercanthal distance, 26 but we found that this ideal does not hold true for the female nose in the Middle Eastern region.…”

Background Though in facial plastic surgery, the ideal nasal characteristics are defined by average European-American facial features known as neoclassical cannons, many ethnicities do not perceive these characteristics as suitable. Methods To investigate the preferences for nasofrontal angle, nasolabial angle, dorsal height, alar width, and nasal tip projection, manipulated pictures of one male and one female model were shown to 203 volunteer patients from a tertiary university hospital’s facial plastic clinic. Results The most aesthetically preferred nasofrontal angles were 137.64 ± 4.20 for males and 133.55 ± 4.53 for females. Acute nasofrontal angles were more desirable in participants aged 25 to 44. The most preferred nasolabial angles were 107.56 ± 5.20 and 98.92 ± 4.88 respectively. Volunteers aged 19 to 24 preferred more acute male nasolabial angles. A straight dorsum was the most desirable in both genders (0.03 ± 0.78 mm and 0.26 ± 0.75 mm, respectively). The ideal male and female alar widths were -0.51 ± 2.26 mm and -1.09 ± 2.18 mm, respectively. More 45- to 64-year-old volunteers preferred alar widths equal to intercanthal distance. The ideal female and male tip projections were 0.57 ± 0.01 and 0.56 ± 0.01, respectively. Conclusions Results indicate that the general Iranian patients prefer thinner female noses with wider nasofrontal angles for both genders. However, the ideal nasolabial angles, dorsal heights, and tip projections were consistent with the neoclassical cannons. Besides ethnic differences, the trend of nasal beauty is also affected by gender, age, and prior history of aesthetic surgery.

“…5 Three-dimensional computed tomography-based cephalometric measurements have been used to determine the variation in bone and soft tissue angles among men and women. 6 Moreover Alharethy 7 emphasized the integral role of the degree of nasal height on facial balance and harmony. Herein, we measured the angular anthropometric values of rhinoplasty seekers and compared them with the anthropometric measurements from the general population, previously collected by Al-Qattan et al 2…”

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.

“… 1 To the best of our knowledge, there has been no radiological analysis of nasal bone angles measurements in Saudi Arabia. 2 People of Arab origin have characteristic nasal features 2 and the popularity of rhinoplasty procedures has increased, so it is important for clinicians to understand not only ethnic differences but also the bony structures of the nose. Analysis of preoperative CT scans has shown a wide variation in lateral nasal wall anatomy and angulation.…”

BACKGROUNDThe nose plays a critical role in determining the external appearance of an individual. We studied the craniofacial anthropometrics by CT scanning since previous studies in the field were conducted in Saudi populations using photometric analysis.OBJECTIVESObtain objective and quantitative data that can help surgeons plan cosmetic procedures for the nose.DESIGNA cross-sectional analytical study.SETTINGDepartment of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, King Abdulaziz University Hospital, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from February 2015 to December 2015.PATIENTS AND METHODSFacial CT scans were performed on native Saudis who underwent CT of the paranasal sinuses.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S)Three anthropometric parameters: the nasofrontal angle, the pyramidal angle, and the linear distance between the nasion and the tip of the nasal bone.RESULTSIn 160 native Saudis (86 males and 74 females) who underwent CT, the mean nasofrontal angle was 125.3° in males and 135.6° in females. The mean linear distance between the nasion and the tip of the nasal bone was 23.0 mm for males and 20.9 mm for females. The mean nasal pyramidal angle was 110.8° in males and 111.9° for females at the level of the nasal root, 105.6° in males and 104.8° in females at the mid-level of the nasal bone, and 116.8° males and 107.9° in females at the level of the tip of the nasal bone.CONCLUSIONNasal bone lengths and angles can be obtained accurately from CT scans. These angles differ in different ethnic groups.LIMITATIONSThe sample represents native Saudis but not a cross section of the Saudi population. The relatively small sample size is a limitation of the study, but we consider these to be initial findings.
