    AbstractAn anatomical and anthropometric study was conducted that compared nasal pyramid measurements of Negroid with Caucasian skulls and surface measurements of black with Caucasian controls. Eight external surface measurements were used to develop a classification system to show the range of the female black American nose. This classification will be described along with the range of measurements on which it is based. This classification may provide a better understanding of the anatomic characteristics of the normal variation of Negroid noses, and thus improve the surgeon's ability to evaluate black patients for rhinoplasty.
