The nasofrontal angle and profile in rhinoplasty: Case presentations

Abstract

Current anthropometric measurements establish the nasofrontal angle. However, it is unwise to establish the lines and equilibrium of volumes of the face within fixed geometrical parameters. Even the data given by various forms of rhinometers do not seem to be suitable since they do not take into account the inclination and curvature of the forehead.

The authors thus prefer to study the individual to be treated within a program of harmonization of the three areas of the face, the upper, middle, and lower thirds. The results of treatment utilizing this concept are depicted.
