The evaluation of facial symmetry is important, the more symmetrical a face, the more appropriate the parameters "said accepted as more beautiful". So the goal of this analysis is the balance of the face to the maximum that medical resources can give.
First the median line should be made and analyzed.
Then analyze the facial thirds- upper middle and lower. The lines of the capillary implant and position of the eyebrows being important.
We divide it into horizontal and vertical lines.
The examination of the eyes and the orbits begins with measures of the distances between the pupils and the corner of the eyes, the average value of this measurement is 4 mm, and may be higher in blacks, a little.Already in childhood between 4 and 8 years Is established.
The width of the base of the nose should be approximately the same distance between the inner corners of the eyes. While the width of the mouth should be close distance between the pupils.
In the vertical plane we divide from ear to ear, dividing in five parts, Each fifth must have the horizontal measurement, almost equal, with respect to another. Generally the ratio of head width to head height is 3: 4.
Another relevant fact in the middle third, it is important to observe the malar eminences, the reference is the infraorbital margin and the paranasal area.
The normal vertical length of the lower third of the face is approximately equal to that of the middle third of the face when there is good aesthetic balance. The proportion of the subnasal vertical distance to the cutaneous margin of vermilion of the inferior lip and of this to the soft tissue of the mentum.
The upper lip should be about 25% larger than the upper lip, and with a good aesthetic, the face fully resting, the interlabial space should exist between 1 and 5 mm.
Well, with these parameters it is possible to help give a greater aesthetic balance to the patient's face, with surgical resources and associated cosmetic treatments.
Let's get the figures for better understanding- ret. Of Maria Sandoval and Eloysa Aires.
