Indian females the average value is 42.5%71,79. This study obtained a mean value of 32.8%, males having a higher figure of 33.4% and females 32.4%. The lower figures obtained in this study compared to others is because we used cutaneous upper lip height which is smaller than full upper lip height. The cutaneous upper lip height is more likely to be of value in lip reconstruction and cleft lip repair58.
According to Vegter and Hage14, “ It is more practical to compare a patient’s anthropometric value to the range of values found in a large group of normal subjects” than to rely strictly on the canons as stated, because “there is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion”80.
54 6.3 CONCLUSIONS
1. Igbos resident in Umuahia have nasal features that are mostly similar to other black ethnic groups with platyrhine features of wide nose and thick columella.
2. Lip features are more variable with some parameters like Cupid’s bow width tending towards Caucasian values.
3. There are gender based differences in all the measured parameter, with males always having higher figures. However, age related variations could not be clearly established.
4. Treatment of patients should be individualised but can be guided by the data generated here.
55 6.4 RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A community based study is recommended to give a broader and better sample of the target population.
2. Similar studies could be conducted in other locations populated by Igbos to get a wider picture and to compare results
3. Another study designed to capture younger age groups will be useful to observe those variations associated with growth .
