The development of the nose and face begins in early embryogenesis with the formation of nasal placodes, frontonasal prominence, and maxillary and mandibular prominences. These structures fuse to create the external nose, nasal cavity, and facial contours. Abnormal fusion can result in cleft lip or palate. The nasal septum, cartilage, and associated bones form the adult nasal framework, providing airway patency, olfaction, and support for surrounding structures. Understanding embryological development is critical for plastic and reconstructive surgery, cleft repair, and congenital anomaly assessment. It also informs facial growth patterns, guiding interventions in pediatrics and craniofacial reconstruction. Development of the Nose and Face Diagram - Chart - diagrams and charts with labels.
