Abstract:
Objective: To develop a photographic standardization and technique of morphometric analyses of the external part of the nose to compare photographic images into an objective form of pre and post-operative. Methods: Eleven females patients were pictures bearers of negroid nose with age varying among 19 to 45 years old being 2 of white color, 5 of brown color and 4 of black color. The photographic technique was standardized in the anterior position, right profile and basal position. Pictures in paper were digitized and through common graphic software mensurations were accomplished by photogrammetry. It was used nine nasals measured, one were used in anterior position, three in right profile and five in basal position. Results: The patient's photographic positioning among the pre and post-operative were comparable. The identification of the anthropometrics points and chosen lines were clear, the obtaining of measures was of easy execution, and measures values could have approach of millesimal order, turning possible the comparison of the values. Conclusion: The procedures of photographic standardization and morphometric analyzed proposed were shown feasible, practical and necessary.
