Abstract

A somatometric analysis of the digitized image and a subsequent confrontation of the gained information with the standard parameters create a methodical approach to evaluate morphological structures of face and their objectification. Application of methods of geometric morphology allowing multidimensional evaluation of structural data is a perspective in this field.

The mentioned methodologies were used for planning of rhinoplasty optimization on the basis of facial profile type, assessment of nasolabial folds symmetry as a related screening symptom of spinal asymmetries and also for evaluation of facial expressions while expressing particular emotions as a basis for subsequent standardization of facial surgeries effect.
