“…Although facial analysis in whites is widely available and much has been written on African Americans [4][5][6][7] and Latinos, 12,13 only a limited number of Asian facial analysis studies exist. [8][9][10][11] These studies have been similar in their methodologies and results, consisting of anthropometric measurements using subjects residing in Asia and comparing them with the published norms of Farkas et al [1][2][3] In our study, the traditional template for horizontal and vertical facial proportions was a poor guide to facial analysis for KA women. Only 1 subject (1%) validated the neoclassical orbitonasal canon, and 3 subjects (4%) validated the "middle third = lower third" facial canon.…”

“…Although facial analysis and proportions are well discussed in whites [1][2][3] and African Americans, 4-7 only a limited number of studies exist for Asians, [8][9][10][11] and none exist for Asian Americans. Aesthetic surgery on Asian American patients relying on white norms may result in dissonant facial proportions.…”

“…Nine of the 17 nonsignificant facial measurements were very similar to those of the NAW women; many of these facial features centered around the midface. Although facial analysis and proportions are well discussed in whites [1][2][3] and African Americans, [4][5][6][7] only a limited number of studies exist for Asians, [8][9][10][11] and none exist for Asian Americans. Aesthetic surgery on Asian American patients relying on white norms may result in dissonant facial proportions.…”

“…Nasal index is very useful in anthropology in distinguishing racial and ethnic differences [12]. It also exhibits sexual differences [16] and it has become a useful tool in Forensic Science [17]. The quantitative data for the piriform aperture that exist are mainly restricted to conventional linear caliper measurements used to determine the nasal index.…”

Piriform apertures from skulls in the Bass Collection at the University of Tennessee were examined. The morphology of the perform aperture from digital images was captured using Adobe Measuring Tool 9.0 and data analyzed with SPSS 17.0. Twenty-four linear measurements from a central point of the aperture as well as the perimeter were evaluated to quantify a difference between Black and White populations. The statistical analyses employed Discriminate Functional Analysis followed by Stepwise analysis. Discriminate functions were generated to predict to which group a skull belonged. A discriminate function produced an accuracy of 77.4%.Step-wise discriminate function analysis, using only three variables, produced an accuracy of 79.0%.

“…The nose and facial profile were similarly measured in the Han people of China [Xuetong et al, 1990]. Conventional anthropometry including these measurements does not require any complex apparatus, and these methodologies are con-venient for the study of large samples.…”

To quantify the shape of cleft lip noses and to evaluate the outcome following rhinoplasty objectively, a three-dimensional measuring system for the nasal shape was developed using a contact-type measuring apparatus. In this system, the surface data for a face could be obtained accurately, and facial landmarks could be identified semiautomatically. A new method for evaluating the nasal shape, which regards the nose as a polyhedron constructed of triangles which consist of facial landmarks, has been subsequently devised. Facial plaster models of 129 Japanese volunteers, 61 men and 68 women, were made. The nasal shapes were characterized by linear and angular measurements using semiautomatically identified landmarks, and the new polyhedral system of measurement was applied. The polyhedron was constructed of 10 triangular planes each consisting of three landmarks. The normal vector of each plane was calculated, and the angles described by these normal vectors were calculated. Consequently, the nasal shapes of males and females were characterized as follows: (1) the proportion of the size of the nasal ala to that of the nasal dorsum was larger in males than in females; (2) a more outward projection of the nasal ala was observed in males than in females; (3) the so-called ‘nasal tip angle’ was more acute in males than in females; (4) the transitional area from the nasal dorsum to the face was steeper in females than in males; (5) the upper compartments of the nasal ala were steeper in females than in males.
