title: The lines and grooves of the face: a suggested nomenclature.
abstract: The lines and grooves of the face commonly recognized and used by plastic surgeons, biological anthropologists, forensic medicine specialists, artists, and others are described. Proper Latin anatomical names for them are suggested. It is hoped that eventually these will be adopted by those who use them and published by the International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee.
