Who this may help
A patient with more than one profile concern may benefit from a proportion-based consultation after each feature is evaluated independently.
Profile Surgery
Features considered in proportion—not in isolation.
Profile surgery considers how the forehead, nose, lips, chin, and jaw relate from the side. When more than one feature contributes to imbalance, a coordinated plan may be more natural than changing one feature in isolation.

At a glance
What to know before deciding.
02 Recovery overview3 phases
01
Early: the recovery follows the most extensive procedure in the combined plan.
02
Routine: combining procedures can increase swelling, care needs, and time away from activity.
03
Maturation: each treated structure settles on a different timeline.
03 Realistic goals3 points
- Prioritize the feature that contributes most to the concern
- Avoid unnecessary combined procedures
- Understand how one change alters perception of another

- Treat one feature only
- Temporary simulation or filler for selected concerns
