Etiology, Distribution, and Classification of Craniomaxillofacial Nasal Deformities

Abstract

The nose is the central feature of the human face, both anatomically and aesthetically. The normal, natural nose is made up of thin mucosal lining, sculptured alar cartilages, bone, and cartilage struts that buttress the dorsum and side walls and a conforming canopy of thin skin which compliments the face in color and texture [1].
