To date, there is no universal standard for preoperative and postoperative evaluation of outcomes after surgical rejuvenation of the face and neck. This circumstance largely explains high patient dissatisfaction with surgical rejuvenation of the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. The causes of unsatisfactory outcomes are often few available methods and insufficient preoperative analysis of individual anatomical features. Cephalometric analysis is essential in preoperative diagnostics and planning of interventions on the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. Cephalometric analysis allows evaluating the proportions and symmetry of the face, identifying the imbalances of soft tissues and bones. Colummetry focuses on morphology of the neck and submental area that is critically important when planning correction of the lower third of the face and neck. Standardized assessment protocols based on objective anthropometric indicators contribute to better prognosis and patient satisfaction with results of rejuvenation surgeries.
