Morphometric analysis of base of the Nose in relation to aesthetic conceptsa One year observational study in kle Dr prabhakar kore hospital

Abstract

Background: The morphology of the nose varies greatly between races and between individuals within the same race. Age, sex, and cultural background are factors that affect anthropometric parameters. Attempting to determine normal values may act as a guide for medical professionals doing reconstructive and cosmetic nose surgery. Few publications have been written about the basal view of nose, despite several articles being written about the frontal and lateral perspectives. This study examines the structural elements of base of the nose to see if they possess the ideal aesthetics. Objectives: 1. To analyse the various aesthetic morphometric structural components contributing to the formation of base of the nose. 2. To analyse the variations of the base of the nose in relation to each other in the study population.
