Background:

Established facial analysis methods lack a standardized, stepwise approach in otolaryngology education.
A practical guideline is needed for assessing facial deformities due to various causes.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a practical, stepwise methodology for facial analysis in otolaryngology.
To integrate existing guidelines into a preliminary assessment framework.

Main Methods:

Distillation and integration of previously established facial analysis guidelines.
Development of an eight-step methodology for initial facial assessment.

Main Results:

A preliminary, practical eight-step methodology for facial analysis has been proposed.

Related Experiment Videos

The guideline aims to assist those less familiar with facial assessment techniques.

Conclusions:

The proposed eight-step method offers a structured approach to facial analysis for otolaryngology trainees.
This methodology facilitates the initial assessment of facial deformities from traumatic, neoplastic, or developmental origins.
