The Indian Nose: An anthropometric analysis

Anthropometric measurements of nose are of great importance in planning aesthetic nasal surgery. Abundant literature is available on anthropometric analysis of Caucasians and Orientals, without similar references on Indian nose and its regional differences. Thus, we conducted a descriptive cross sectional epidemiological study of one thousand volunteers, with equal number of subjects derived from five geographic groups namely North; Central; West; South; and Himalayan region to determine differences in nasal morphology of Indian population and amongst its various regions.
