With the rapid advancement in techniques of correcting multiple facial anomalies, surgical planning has become more sophisticated and knowledge of the exact relationship between the various areas of head and face is now indispensable.A general baseline data for facial analysis would be helpful to plan orthodontic, otorhinolaryngological and cosmetic surgeries which can significantly enhance facial harmony and balance with regards to his regional morphology.Also,such data helps the forensic investigations ,such as,whether the deceased belonged to that region or not or if his face is destructed then finding nasofacial parameters with the linear regression equations and revealing his regional identity.
Aims: The purpose of this study is to obtain and correlate regional nasofacial parameters for aesthetic treatment and medicolegal purposes.
Settings and Design: This study was conducted on 200 persons in the regional area of Pune, Maharashtra.
