Upper Face

Forehead

Forehead Contour:

Evaluates the smooth curve and projection of the forehead frame.

Frontalis Activity:

Tracks horizontal movement lines caused by raised eyebrows.

Structural Volume:

Detects subtle hollows near the brow line or temples as fat pads change.

Eyebrows

Arch & Position:

Assesses the natural height and shape of the brow arch relative to the eye socket.

Lateral Brow Support:

Measures outer brow descent that can make eyes appear tired.

Symmetry & Frame:

Ensures both eyebrows frame the eyes evenly for an open, refreshed look.

Eyes & Periorbital

Canthal Tilt:

Evaluates the upward or downward slant of the outer eye corners.

Tear Trough & Hollowing:

Pinpoints under-eye shadow depth and volume loss over the orbital bone.

Upper Lid Hooding:

Checks for excess eyelid skin that creates a heavy or tired appearance.

Temples

Temporal Volume:

Checks for temporal fossa hollowing ("skeletalization") that occurs with age.

Smooth Transition:

Ensures a continuous curve from the forehead to the cheekbones.

Structural Lift:

Restoring subtle temporal volume often lifts the outer brows and eyes.

Midface

Cheeks

Malar Projection:

Evaluates the high-point highlight of the cheekbones for youthfulness and lift.

Midface Fat Pad Support:

Checks the volume of deep fat compartments that keep the center of the face lifted.

Nasolabial Prevention:

Restoring midface support helps soften deep lines running from nose to mouth.

Nose

Nasal Contour & Bridge:

Assesses the smoothness of the bridge, dorsum humps, and straightness.

Tip Projection & Rotation:

Measures tip angle and support (preventing a drooping tip when smiling).

Nasolabial Angle:

Checks the angle between the nose base and upper lip for ideal profile balance.

Lips & Perioral

Volume Ratio:

Measures the balance between upper and lower lips for a natural 1 : 1.6 proportion.

Border & Cupid's Bow:

Evaluates the sharpness of the lip line to prevent lip feathering or bleeding lines.

Oral Commissures:

Identifies turned-down mouth corners to restore a rested, positive expression.

Lower Face

Smile Dynamics

Gummy Smile Line:

Evaluates how much upper gum tissue shows during a full, natural smile.

Dental Frame:

Checks how the lips frame your teeth during speech and laughter.

Dynamic Muscle Balance:

Ensures smiling movements remain symmetrical and effortless.

Chin

Projection & Profile:

Measures chin strength relative to the nose and lips along the profile line.

Mentalis Strain:

Checks for a "golf ball" dimpled texture on the chin when closing the mouth.

Lower Face Proportion:

Balances chin height and width to ground the overall jaw shape.

Jawline & Mandible

Mandibular Definition:

Assesses the sharp, clean line along the edge of the jawbone.

Masseter Balance:

Checks for jaw clenching or enlarged masseter muscles that broaden the lower face.

Jowl Formation:

Detects early soft-tissue descent along the jawline.

Submental Area (Double Chin)

Fat Compartment Distribution:

Distinguishes between surface fat and deeper tissue contours under the chin.

Cervicomental Definition:

Evaluates the sharpness of the angle where the chin meets the neck.

Platysmal Support:

Assesses underlying muscle tightness to maintain a firm neck contour.

Important context

A marker is not a diagnosis or score.

Natural variation is expected. Your health, anatomy, priorities and comfort remain central.
