Abstract
Aim: Nasal bone anatomy is a frequent target of rhinoplasty procedures. This study aims to examine the nasal bony anatomy of rhinoplasty-seeking patients, and compare it with the recent literature. Materials and Methods: 138 patients seeking rhinoplasty were examined with CT scans. Nasal bone length, width, osteotomy line bone thicknesses on three separate levels, aperture width and lengths were measured. 87 female and 51 male patients, aged between 16 to 58 years, were included in this study. Results: Nasal bone lengths were measured as 2.47±0.42 cm, widths were measured as 1.06±0.19 cm on right and 1.06±0.21 cm on left, aperture widths were measured as 2.31±0.2 cm and heights as 3.16±0.43 cm, osteotomy thicknesses were measured as 1.61±0.33 mm, 1.79±0.37 mm, 2.05±0.45 mm on inferior, medial and superior parts, respectively. Conclusion: Measurements of nasal skeletal properties showed unsimilar results with studies from adjacent areas. Therefore, it may be wise to say that surgeons should not approach every patient as a standard patient with similar anatomical structures.
