The nose is a significant facial feature for the identification of individuals and is also considered to be an aesthetic feature. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in two vital functions; respiration and olfaction.[1] It is a complicated three– dimensional organ, with various convexities and concavities due to the distinctive characteristics of the underlying soft tissue, which results in differences in form and appearance.[1][2] Therefore, the nose is a cardinal structure in both the craniofacial reconstruction surgeries and the forensic field.[2]
