caption: Creating the appropriate aesthetic contours of the nose requires an understanding of the ideal boundaries of light and shadow of the face. Notice how the asymmetry of the brow-tip aesthetic lines are improved on the frontal views of this lovely patient. On the side view, notice the improved nasal length, created by adjusting the ``nasal starting point'', or radix height, of this patient. As the saying goes, ``The eye can't see what the mind does not know''...a combination of technical skill, knowledge, and an aesthetic eye is required for successful rhinoplasty.
