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)
