title: [A morphology study on normal adult nasal appearance].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study is to explore figure characteristic of normal adult nose.
  
  
  METHODS
  Three hundreds (150 males and 150 females, 17-25 years old) students were analysized with human measurement of nasal appearance.
