Nares, Anteverted

Definition:

Subjective: Anteriorly-facing nostrils viewed with the head in the Frankfurt horizontal and the eyes of the observer level with the eyes of the subject

Comments:

The tip of the nose is upturned and is positioned superiorly to the nasal base, allowing the nares to be easily visualized from the front. With maturation and growth of the nasal ridge and tip, the nares usually become more downwardly directed.

Synonyms:

• Nasal Tip, Upturned

• Pug Nose
