FIRSTLY - What is the nasion?
- The nasion is the point that dips in at the top of the nose , right between the inner ends of the eyebrows.
WHY is this important for facial aesthetics?
- The nasion is one of 3 landmarks used to measure the facial convexity angle (when not using the browridge of course)
- Having a recessed nasion can make ur side profile resemble that of a neanderthal and throw off the entire facial convexity angle.
- P.S. A recessed nasion can distort almost every single angle that references the cranial base. It makes the midface look more convex and retrusive, even if the jaws themselves look normal.
- Here I circled the point of the nasion and as you can see, the neanderthal skull has a much more acute facial convexity angle due to the nasion.
- So, a recessed nasion appears to be neanderthalian , but on a person how does this actually look?
- Using the power of morphs , I have warped jordan barrets side profile to have a recessed nasion.
-His facial convexity actually falls out of the ideal, prior to his 169° due to the nasion being warped back
- This shows how much ONE small point makes a significant difference, look at how much more complete the side profile looks.
HOW TO TELL IF YOUR NASION IS RECESSED:
- Touch test:
- You can get a rough idea through getting a feel of the area.
- Feel the bone between the eyes at the nasal root and if it feels set back compared to the browridge and mid-nose it may be recessed.
- Visual analysis:
- look at the bridge of your nose
- normal nasion: smooth + blends well, slightly convex line from forehead to nose
-recessed nasion: noticeable dip or flattening at the top of the nose to the eye level.
-How does one fix a recessed nasion?
COSMETIC PROCEDURES ARE THE ANSWER!!
(disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong, it is up to YOU and everything I say should be taken with a grain of salt. Do your own research)
-Non surgical rhinoplasty
( filler injected in the nasion )
-Augmentation rhinoplasty
(surgical bridge/radix augmentation using grafts or implants)
-Cartilage/bone graft rhinoplasty
(autografts)
*TBH- I used chat gpt to find these options cuz I am NOT very informed with cosmetic procedures*
CONCLUSION: NASION=UNDERRATED
Well thats all for my first thread, I hope it wasnt a boring word salad and that some of you found it useful!
-lmk if i made any mistakes or if I shouldve formatted differently
Ask any questions and ill try my best to answer
