Preoperative Assessment Of Rhinoplasty

Nasal Aesthetics

The nose creates the facial balance as it occupies a central position on the face and a slight facial asymmetry is considered to be an attractive trait on the face to a large extent. The main aim of the sruergy, is to create a attractive nose which is harmonious with the rest of the face and emphasizing with the beauty of the eyes.

Nose As An Integral Part Of The Face

Prior to Rhinoplasty, there should be complete assessment of all the facial components for knowledge of accurate detection of the deviations from the existing standard of surgical correction in establishing the aesthetic shape of the nose, which will be facial balance with the rest of the face. Gender, race and individual anatomical features are the factors on which the correction of the face depends. According to few studies, attractive woman has much less marked jaws, bigger eyes and smaller nose as compared to men and the distant between the nose and lips are small in contrast to men who has bigger nose and the distant is wider.

Nasal Aesthetic Subunits

The areas of skin with identical properties such as colour, elasticity, texture and thickness are the facial surface dividends which are called aesthetic units and often they are limited by the curvature of the surface of body. This serve as the guidelines for reconstruction of lot of tissues, and the surgeon must have sufficient knowledge which is helpful in understanding the nasal anatomy. There are nine aesthetic sub-units of the nose which are as alar bases, columella, tip, dorsum, alar side walls and dorsal side walls and any kind of surgical units placed between the sub-units leaves behind least visible scars.
