Abstract:
Rhinoplasty remains one of the most challenging aesthetic procedures to master. Astute surgeons must consider a continually evolving societal perception of beauty with their own sense of aesthetic proportion when planning surgical intervention. Optimal results are achieved when the outcome is anticipated and satisfying to patient and surgeon. This requires a careful, thoughtful, systematic approach to preoperative analysis. Patients should leave with a clear understanding of the surgeon's perspective of their nose, aesthetically and anatomically. Understanding the interplay of surface deformities and their underlying anatomic counterpart is critical, involving a systematic analysis to create a surgical plan that avoids landmines leading to a suboptimal result.

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...
