Abstract:
The success of a rhinoplasty is conditioned by a detailed preoperative analysis of the morphology of the nose and face of the patient. A good knowledge of the characteristic reference marks and nasal proportions authorize a detailed description of the nose. The position of the nasal tip is one of the principal characteristics of the nose. It is expressed by the combination of its projection and its height. A reflexion on the position of the tip and its ideal position post-operatively enabled us to work out a conceptual approach aiming at guiding the surgical project. The drawing of two circles centered on the nasal pyramid is the expression of this concept. Thus, a detailed analysis of the nasal pyramid and a biomechanical approach are the key to a relevant surgical plan.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
