Comparative Study
Journal Article
A comparison of aesthetic proportions between the Oriental and Caucasian nose.
Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences 2004 December
Differences in aesthetics between the Oriental and Caucasian nose were examined from a cohort of 118 healthy volunteers of which 61 had an Oriental and 57 had a Caucasian racial origin. The oriental nose projected less from the face, and was broader at the intercanthal level (P < 0.001) and the alar base (P < 0.001), but not at the bony base. The oriental nose projected less at all levels: nasion projection (P < 0.001) and tip projection (P < 0.001). The naso-labial angles for the Orientals in this study exhibited a wider range of variation than the Caucasians, with the oriental male exhibiting the most acute angle (average 86.2 degrees ), because of the forward angulation of the upper lip. Many of the average aesthetic parameters obtained from these two cohorts of healthy subjects did not conform to the published aesthetic standards, set out as the ideal goals for rhinoplasty.
