Among the terms related to face shape, “profile” refers to the side line of the face.
When viewing the face from the front, the elements that make up the side line of the face are the forehead - glabella - nose - philtrum - upper lip - lower lip - chin tip.
Therefore, surgery that changes the side line of the face is commonly referred to as “profile contouring,” and it can be carried out through a combination of several categories such as chin augmentation surgery, prognathism surgery, protruding mouth surgery, double jaw surgery, aquiline nose surgery, and forehead contouring.
