Nasofacial Proportions
and Systematic Nasal Analysis
Rod J. Rohrich  Jamil Ahmad  Jack P. Gunter
Attractive faces have certain proportions and relationships in common.
make an accurate diagnosis and establish the best treatment plan for a rhinoplasty patient, these proportions and relationships must be thoroughly analyzed. When disproportions and poor relationships are present, correction may only be pos­sible with major orthognathic or even craniofacial procedures. However, these discrepancies should be discussed with the patient and taken into consideration when determining the surgical procedure best suited for that particular patient.
In addition, the shape, proportions, and relationship of the dierent parts of the nose itself should be thoroughly studied. Closer scrutiny of these areas has taught us that instead of performing a routine reduction rhinoplasty, better results may be obtained in some cases if we augment certain areas of the nose. For example, enhanced nasofacial balance may be achieved by increasing tip projection, dorsal augmentation, lowering retracted alar rims, or lengthening a short nose.
In this chapter we will illustrate the nasofacial proportions and relationships found to be helpful in evaluating a patient for rhinoplasty. is is not meant to be a complete compilation of facial measurements and proportions but instead should provide a framework for the rhinoplasty surgeon to use as reference. e relationships and proportions detailed here can serve as a foundation for ana­lyzing a face and help in understanding what gives a face its individual appear­ance. Rhinoplasty surgeons should keep in mind that these relationships are not absolute; many attractive faces have harmonious nasofacial relationships despite

having less than ideal proportions. Sex- and ethnic-specic aesthetic ideals and proportions as well as considerations in the aging population are discussed in the respective chapters. In addition, we present our approach to nasal assessment, which allows systematic and comprehensive nasal analysis to identify nasofacial disproportions and imbalances and helps to identify the goals for rhinoplasty surgery.
NASOFACIAL PROPORTIONS
Proportions of the Face
Facial symmetry should always be assessed. Most patients’ faces are not sym­metrical. It is very common for patients to be unaware of their facial asymmetries and nasal deviation. Because most patients are highly critical of their appearance aer surgery, any asymmetries or other preexisting aws should be pointed out preoperatively to prevent patients from attributing them to the surgery.
is is a frontal view of a face drawn with aesthetic proportions. e face is di­vided into vertical hs by lines drawn adjacent to the most lateral projection of the head, the lateral canthi, and the medial canthi.

e width of the mouth approximates the distance between the medial limbi of the corneas. e lower third is equally divided by a horizontal line adjacent to the lowest point of the lower lip vermilion.
A horizontal line through the labial-mental groove divides the distance from the stomion to the menton (lowest point of the chin) into a : ratio. e width of the mouth and the distance from the stomion to the menton are equal.

e distance from the brows to the menton (B) is equal to the width of the face at the malar level. e distance from the infraorbital rim to the base of the nose is equal to the width of the nasal base and one half the distance of the middle third of the face.
e facial skeleton should be evaluated for deformities such as maxillary or man­dibular hyperplasia and hypoplasia, periapical hypoplasia, and malar promi­nence or recession. Adjunctive procedures such as orthognathic surgery, piriform aperture augmentation, or malar augmentation may be considered.

e relationships between the mandible and maxilla are of utmost importance and are determined next. e face is divided into thirds by horizontal lines drawn adjacent to the menton, the nasal base, the brows (supraorbital notch level), and the hairline (the upper line varies with hairstyle, so this landmark is least im­portant). e lower third is divided into an upper third and lower two thirds by a line drawn through the oral commissures.
When these relationships are outside the normal ranges, optimal improvement of the patient’s appearance may require orthodontics or orthognathic surgery as well as rhinoplasty for the best aesthetic results. In addition, the prominence of the dierent areas of the maxilla should be observed. In some patients with periapical hypoplasia, the upper lip may appear prominent. Augmentation of the piriform aperture may be indicated as an adjunct to rhinoplasty. Malar promi­nence should also be assessed. Weak malar eminences detract from the facial appearance, and augmentation may need to be considered.

Given the importance of lip position and contour in assessing nasal tip projection and rotation, the lip-chin complex should be evaluated before proceeding with the nasal analysis. e desired relationship of the lip-chin complex is an upper lip that projects approximately mm more than the lower lip. In women, the chin lies slightly posterior to the lower lip. In men, it is slightly stronger. If the upper lip is not in good position or does not have good contour, it may be corrected at the time of rhinoplasty. Some patients have a “tension lip,” which is characterized by fullness at the columellar-labial angle and a thin lip and vermilion surface that appears slightly retracted. is is most oen seen in patients with overprojecting noses and can oen be relieved by setting the nasal tip back closer to the face. Tension lip is occasionally seen in patients with decient tip projection. When this is the case, it is usually best to relieve the tension by releasing the base of the nose, allowing it to settle posteriorly, and augmenting the tip with a gra to gain as much projection as possible.
e upper lip should be evaluated for position and contour; specically, a tension lip can be associated with an overprojecting nose as well as an underprojecting nose. e rhinoplasty procedure can be designed to help decrease the tension lip appearance.

Another cause of an abnormal looking upper lip is a prominent posterior caudal septum. is creates fullness at the columellar-labial junction and gives the ap­pearance of pseudorotation of the nose. is is corrected by resecting a portion of the posterior caudal septum. e anterior nasal spine is usually not involved in this deformity, and it is seldom necessary to resect any portion of the anterior nasal spine.
Pseudorotation is observed when there is a prominence of the posterior caudal septum, which provides fullness in the columellar-labial junction.
Increased projection of the upper lip may be caused by prominent or improperly inclined central incisors. Reducing the projection will require orthodontics or orthognathic surgery. Such a deformity should be discussed to see if the patient is interested in having it corrected before rhinoplasty. If not, at least the patient will be aware that the overall result of the surgery will be somewhat compromised.
Proportions of the Nose
Clinical analysis and diagnosis of external nasal deformities are performed us­ing the measurements and proportions described herein as standard references. e skin type and texture should be evaluated rst. If the skin is thick and se­baceous, it does not drape as well as thin skin and takes longer for the edema to subside before the nal result is seen. On the other hand, thin skin sometimes drapes too well and aer the edema subsides it shows small deformities under­neath the skin. ick skin will also have less capability to retract aer signicant reductions in the osteocartilaginous framework. Although most sebaceous skin is thick, occasionally a patient will have sebaceous, oily skin that is thin. e thickness of the skin is more important than its sebaceous character in predict­ing the way it will drape.
e thickness of the skin should be evaluated because thick skin will not drape over the reconstructed osteocartilaginous framework as well as thinner skin and will be edematous for a longer period. When thin skin redrapes over the osteo­cartilaginous framework, it is more likely to show deformities than thick skin.
Aer the skin is analyzed, the nose is evaluated for possible deviation. A line from the midglabellar area to the menton should bisect the nasal bridge, the nasal tip, and Cupid’s bow. If deviation is present, the cause must be determined. Some deviations will require septal surgery for correction,

­sessed. If the distance between the nasal-cheek junction is more than % of the normal alar base width, the bony base should be narrowed at the time of osteotomy. If the bony base width is within the normal range but the bony dorsum is wide, mobilization of the nasal bones will be required to narrow the dorsal portion of the bones while keeping the bony base width the same. Maintaining the bony base width may require packing between the lateral osteotomy sites and the septum. In a nose that has never been operated on, it is

whereas others may be corrected with osteotomies or cam ouage.
Next, the width of the body and the tip of the nose are as
seldom necessary to try to widen the bony base.
e width of the bony vault of the nose should be 80% of the width of the nose at the alar bases, assuming the width at the alar bases is normal.
e width of the alar base should be approximately the same as the intercanthal distance, which should be the same as the width of an eye. If the intercanthal distance is smaller than the width of the eye, it is better to keep the nose slightly wider than the intercanthal distance. If the nose is wider than the width of the eye, alar base resection for narrowing

should be considered.
e alar base width should approximate that of the intercanthal distance and palpebral ssure width.
e alar rims should have a slight outward are in an inferior direction. e na­sal dorsum should be outlined by two slightly curved divergent lines extending from the medial supraciliary ridges to the tip-dening points.
