title: [Aesthetic profiloplasty: retrospective study of 101 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Aesthetic profiloplasty focuses on patients with normal dental occlusion and summarizes the association of a rhinoplasty and genioplasty. The aim of our study is to analyze the dysmorphoses overall profile, as well as different surgical techniques. This also allows to validate a method of analysis and construction of an aesthetic project based on a profile photograph.
  
  
  METHODS
  This is a retrospective study of 101 adult patients undergoing profiloplasty at our institution over a period of 35 years.
  
  
  RESULTS
  18 patients (17.8%) had an abnormality of the nasofrontal angle, 62 (61.3%) abnormal and the nasolabial angle 101 a chin dysmorphia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We studied profiloplasty focusing on its borders, first of all the nasal profile and then the facial profile with the chin. Our profilometric building is simple, didactic and to obtain a good cosmetic result. The Marseilles School Pech and Cannoni was intended, regarding rhinoplasty, trying to get a natural result for a consistent look. Through profiloplasty we continued this teaching of "natural reworked" to achieve the most harmonious profile.
