Abstract

Facial analysis is a critical skill in the pre- as well as post-operative assessment of patients undergoing facial surgery. A successful approach is based on familiarity of normal anatomy, its clinical variance, and developing a systematic approach. In an an effort to develop a comprehensive and methodical approach, we have segregated out nasal elements from facial analysis. Progressive skill refinement requires a combination of foundational anatomy, a critical eye for facial harmony, and routine practice. This review contains 8 figures and 9 references Keywords: nasal analysis, facial analysis, Fitzpatrick, dental occlusion, cephalometrics, MRD-1, MRD-2, chin position, nasal tip projection
