Abstract
Objectives
To provide further insights into the preferences of Brazilians concerning nasal tip projection.Methods
Observational analytical study. Answers from the general population and plastic surgeons from all regions of Brazil were collected using a form that randomly presented 5 different models of nasal tip projection and asked the informants to select the image that they considered the most beautiful.Results
Base projection was the most chosen one (48.2%), which corresponds to the Crumley 2 projection. There was no significant difference between the choices of surgeons and those of the general population. The analysis by regions showed a tendency in the southeast region for the informants to choose a less projected nose (projection -1), which corresponds to the Goode projection, unlike the informants in the South and Northeast regions, which opted for the base projection.Conclusion
The projections most chosen by the population were Crumley 2 and Goode, which correspond to less pronounced projections, unlike the results found in the US. In the southeast region, there was a tendency for a less projected nasal profile in comparison to other regions.Level of evidence
Level 3.
