Photogrammetrics and clinical features of nasal siliconoma in Asians

BACKGROUND Nasal silicone injections have been a common procedure among Asians. However, this can lead to severe complications. Unfortunately, there are limited data available on the distortive characteristics of nasal siliconoma in Asian population. This study aimed provide objective be reference for treatment outcome.
 METHODS cross-sectional was conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from June 2017 March 2018. The included 30 females with siliconoma, and photogrammetric measurements were taken using portable mirror stand device analyzed formulate characteristics.
 RESULTS mean (standard deviation) intercanthal width 3.33 (0.25) cm, root 2.70 (0.30) alar 4.48 (0.31) two tip-defining points (TDP) distance 2.09 (0.22) nasofrontal angle 141.10 (8.40)°, length nose 3.10 (0.48) nasofacial 32.94 (4.51)°, nasion projection 0.64 (0.36) pronasion 2.00 (0.25–2.46) tip 122.7 (4.52)°, nasolabial 78.81 (15.93)°, columella (n = 20) (0.20) lobular portion 1.12 extend extended 0.47 base 3.98 cm.
 CONCLUSIONS Asians had certain such as wider root, TDP distance, projection, acute angle, hanging columella, long tip.
