INTRODUCTION:

The size, angle, shape, and type of nose is a signature indicating race, age, and sex.

OBJECTIVE:

Describe and compare nasal angles, nose types, nostril models, and nasal profiles in young Turkish males and females.

METHODS:

The study group consisted of university students, 56 males and 59 females. Nasal measurements were obtained from all subjects, using anthropometric methods.

RESULTS:

The nose types of females and males were 78% and 70% narrow nose, respectively. The means of females' nasofrontal, nasal tip, nasolabial, and alar slope angles were 133.16 ± 8.88; 77.91 ± 9.80 ; 98.91 ± 10.01 , and 80.89 ± 8.33 , respectively. The means of males' nasofrontal, nasal tip, nasolabial, and alar slope angles were 123.85 ± 13.23 ; 82.16 ± 9.98 ; 97.91 ± 8.78 and 85.98 ± 8.72 , respectively.

CONCLUSION:

The average values of the nose in this population may be used as a guide to plan corrective aesthetic-cosmetic surgery and for burn scars of the nose.
