Abstract

Objective: To evaluate changes in nasal morphology following anterior segmental osteotomy in Vietnamese patients, aiming to provide clinical data for improving orthognathic surgical planning. Subjects and Methods: A non-controlled clinical intervention study was conducted on 30 female patients aged 18–45. Nasal parameters including sn-prn, n-sn, n-prn, nasolabial angle, and nasofrontal angle were measured before and six months after surgery. Results: Nasal height decreased by an average of 3.75 mm, nasal length decreased by 2 mm. The nasolabial angle increased by 11°, and the nasofrontal angle increased by 4.5°. The decrease in nasal tip projection was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Anterior segmental osteotomy has a significant impact on nasal morphology, especially in terms of nasal height, nasal length, and the nasolabial and nasofrontal angles.
