The overlooked importance and role of the periorbital contour in craniofacial aesthetics

Credit to @RealSurgerymax / Giant Implants

● The periorbital contour or so-called naso-orbital contour is the silhouette that can be traced reaching out from the supraorbital rim down to the alar crease of the nose, as such:

1684015871660
1684016330735


● These contours in specific are aesthetic and look attractive, as opposed to this:

1684019074463
1684019660578


● Upper eyelid exposure actually doesn't contribute to this failo:

1684020522735

(still looks like shit)

● Poor periorbital contour also implicates in lack of angularity in the orbital region:
1684021058014
angle peaks at 1/2 of the supra rim and has a curved contour


1684021465553
angle peaks at 3/4 of the supra rim and is more linear predominant

● So what exactly makes or breaks an ideal contour?

● Wide frontal bone breadth

● Good brow ridge protuberance

● Alar width (ideally should be 1:1 ratio to intercanthal width)

● Proper facial fifths

● Symmetrical dorsal line figure

● Positively tilted and thick brows

● Strong soft tissue ligament anchorage

● Tissue composition and supraorbital fat pads

● Craniofacial skeletal support

● Forward grown skeletal nasion and glabella

● Positive orbital vector (more likely to not have a recessed upper maxilla)

● What peak contour looks like:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

● How can I improve?


Supraorbital fat grafting and implants
Facial yoga and gua sha (?) probably cope tho idk
Theoretical facial bone growth
Facial muscle hypertrophy
Botox
Rhino and septoplasty
Eyebrow lift or transplant
Forehead and brow bone implants
