Objectives: There are subjective and important evaluation tools obtained through experience, such as the vision of harmony and the aesthetic proportions of each element in the nasal structure and it is essential for the analysis of the immediate postoperative result, evaluating part of the structural and aesthetic changes achieved with the surgical procedure and if these meet the expectations of the surgeon and patient raised before surgery.
Introduction: Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure of restructuring the nasal architecture with an artistic touch, the vision of the nasal profile and the proportions that the structures keep is fundamental for the correct evaluation of the result.
Materials / method: In the nasal profile view the main elements that are taken into account are: radix, the bony and cartilaginous dorsum line, the lower lateral cartilages and their maximum projection point (domes), and the columella. Likewise, the relationship keeps the nose with the facial structures and the facial plane (rotation and projection).
Results: Dorso-Domal Discrepancy (DDD) is defined as the difference between the height of the lowest point of the dorsum line (dorsum-tip transition point) and the point of maximum projection of the nasal tip at the level of the domes, from a side view of the nasal pyramid, expressed in millimeters.
Conclusion: A D.D.D. between 5 and 10 mm a nasal profile with a harmonic and aesthetic appearance is considered, one of the objectives of rhinoplasty is to achieve these proportions between the dorsum and the nasal tip. This discrepancy is also variable and changes with each type of nose in which the back and the tip have defined characteristics such as racial diversity, for example caucasian, asian, ethnic noses, etc.
