Can nasal base shape be objectively characterized and classified?

This cohort of 420 patients who were evaluated for possible facial plastic surgery analyzes images of the nasal base of each patient and uses a parametric model to characterize nasal base shapes.

Shape-defining numeric data from the model showed adequate concordance with the predictions of facial plastic surgeons.

 Numerical description of the nasal base can be derived and potentially used in objective preoperative and postoperative assessment of nasal appearance and in clinical communication.
