a profile where the forehead protrudes beyond the eyebrows, and the chin protrudes beyond the infantine retrousse plane of the upper lip
Concave profile
a profile where the chin,forehead, and upper lip all project to an imaginary line, not any one feature protrudes or recedes more than the other two
