What is the significance of a “negative vector” profile?

Describes pts w/ protuberant eyes and hypoplastic malar eminence – fat should not be removed from these pts during blepharoplasty

Perfectly

What measurement can be used to determine deficiency in the malar area

The distance from the malar prominence to the nasolabial groove on lateral projection (ideally > 5 mm)

What is Hering’s law?

Unilateral ptosis with CONTRA lid retraction – if you cover the ptotic eye with a patch for 30-60 mins, the retracted eye will settle into the nl position and the ptotic eye will reveal itself

What are 2 angles used to determine chin projection

Legan angle (nl 12 deg +/- 4)
Merrifield Z angle (nl 80 deg +/- 5) (uses the Frankfort horizontal)

Where should the chin lie in relation to a vertical line dropped from the lips

In men, chin should meet the line. In women, the chin should lie 2-3 mm posterior

What is the difference b/w microgenia and micrognathia?

Microgenia is a small mandible with nl occlusion. Micrognathia is an underdeveloped mandible w/ class II occlusion

What is retrognathia

Nl sized mandible with class II occlusion

What is the nl position of the lower lip in relation to the upper lip and chin

The most anterior portion of the white roll should lie slightly posterior to the upper lip and lie in the same plane as the soft tissue chin point

What is the nl angle b/w the ear and the head

25-30 deg

What is the nl incline of the vertical axis of the auricle

20 deg

What is the nl superior limit of the auricle

The level of the brow

Skin that rarely burns and tans more than average is what Fitzpatrick's class

Merkel Cell Carcinoma - A: asx/nontender (88% of pts) - E: expanding rapidly (63%) - I: immune suppressed (8%) - O: Old (over 50) - U: UV exposed site (81%) 89% will have 3 of these features at presentation

On PE, the nose and maxillary alveolar process are found to be free floating. What type of fx has occurred

LeFort II

What is the bowstring sign

An obvious give that occurs with lateral tension on the lower lid, indicating disruption of the medial canthal tendon

What is the nl intercanthal width

30-35 mm in caucasians or roughly the width of the alar base

On PE, digital pressure on the nasal tip causes prolapse of the distal nose into the pyriform aperture. Which type of NOE fx is this according to Gruss' classification of NOE injuries?

Type II
