The paper presents some of the anatomic and artistic relationships that must be known, appreciated and used by the reconstructive facial surgeon. The utilization of some of the instruments of artistic measurement for facial analysis are presented. The size, location, angulation and relationship of the ears, eyes, lips, nose and chin are specifically described. Demonstrative cases are presented.
