Abstract

The author summarizes the general rules of the facial harmony. These measurements and proportions are an aid to the reader to rapidly evaluate a face and detect any anomaly. No sophisticated devices are necessary. The study of profile photographs following the Charles Baud-principles (circular sectors) is detailed as is a simplified cephalometric study.
