Abstract

To evaluate the role of soft tissue nasal parameters on the perception of facial attractiveness in profile view. Study Design: 152 profile photos were rated by 50 laypersons. Parameters evaluated for each profile photo were 6 Angular (Nasofacial Angle, Nasal Tip Angle, Nasofrontal Angle, Nasomental Angle, Inclination of the Nasal Base and Nasolabial Angle) and three linear (Nasal Prominence, Subnasal depth and Canut’s Nasal Prominence). Needful statistics were then applied. Results: Based on the categorization of individuals into less attractive and more attractive groups, it was observed that individuals with higher perceived attractiveness had a smaller Nasofacial Angle when compared with the less attractive individuals. Nasofacial Angle & Average Aesthetic Score, shows an Excellent Negative Correlation. Nasolabial Angle & Average Aesthetic Score shows a Moderate Positive Correlation. Conclusion: Nasal parameters are of great importance in treatment plan and diagnosis in Orthognathic surgery and cosmetic surgeries as well. Nasofacial Angle significantly defines More & Less Attractive Profiles.
