Above and below we see
the three-quarters view of the patient we saw on the previous page. This
view is also called the "oblique" view. She is not looking
directly at the camera, and she is not looking directly off to one side, showing
her profile. The oblique view is the most important view in evaluating a
nose, because it's the view you see people in most frequently. Page
through a women's fashion magazine and see how often you see a model in direct
profile. Answer: not very often.

As we see in these
photographs, wide tip cartilages create a bulge around the tip of the nose on the
oblique view. As on the previous page, the black arrow points to the place
where the tip cartilages start controlling the line of the nasal contour, making it
bulge out away from her face. In the after pictures, the profile line is
straighter, and the profile curves don't draw unwanted attention to the
nose.
Since this is such an important concept, I have placed close-ups of these pictures below, for your more detailed perusal. |
