TABLE 3.
General face shape assessment with anthropometrical measurements of facial height and width; criteria used for facial height and width measurements are described and surveyed.
ASSESSMENT ITEMS | % | |
---|---|---|
Do you take anthropometrical measurements of facial height before and after treatment? | ||
No | 30 | |
Yes; if yes, do you: * | 70 | |
Check facial trisection proportions (trichion to glabella, glabella to subnasale, subnasale to soft tissue menton) | 60 | |
Check that the anterior lower facial third is slightly greater than middle third, especially in male patients | 20 | |
Divide the anterior lower facial further into thirds [one-third for upper lip (subnasale to stomion), two-thirds for lower lip and chin (stomion to soft tissue menton)] | 50 | |
Check that vertical face heights is one-tenth of standing height. | 0 | |
Measure the adjusted relative positions of facial landmarks (e.g., trichion, glabella, subnasale, menton, zygion) | 40 | |
Do you take anthropometrical measures of facial width before and after treatment? | ||
No | 50 | |
Yes; if yes, do you: * | 50 | |
Check that each fifth is roughly the width of an eye (i.e., rule of fifths) | 40 | |
Check that the alar base width equal to the intercanthal distance. | 40 | |
Measure the adjusted relative positions of facial landmarks (e.g., trichion, glabella, subnasale, menton, zygion) | 20 | |
0–3 physicians agree with statement (low) | 4–7 physicians agree with statement | 8–10 physicians agree with statement (high) |
Numbers derived from proportion of respondents answering ‘yes’ and will not add up to 100%
