    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Facial Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Profile disharmony, characterized by an unattractive forehead-to-chin contour, can cause significant patient distress.
    • Patients often seek rhinoplasty believing it will resolve profile issues, unaware of concurrent skeletal or soft tissue abnormalities.
    • Complex evaluations and multistaged procedures are often impractical for profile correction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a simplified approach for correcting profile disharmony.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of polyamide mesh for nasal and mentum augmentation.
    • To demonstrate the utility of minor adjunctive procedures in profile enhancement.

    Main Methods:

    • Augmentation of the nose and chin using polyamide mesh in over 200 cases.
    • Modification of the nasofrontal angle.

  • Cheiloplasty as a minor adjunctive procedure.

    • Main Results:

    • Polyamide mesh proved to be a simple and safe material for facial augmentation.
    • The described techniques effectively improved forehead-to-chin contour.
    • Adjunctive procedures were readily combined with rhinoplasty for comprehensive profile correction.

    Conclusions:

    • Profile disharmony correction can be achieved with straightforward augmentation techniques.
    • Polyamide mesh is a reliable material for nasal and mentum augmentation.
    • A comprehensive approach involving rhinoplasty, augmentation, and minor adjunctive procedures offers effective profile enhancement.
