A major problem for many rhinoplastic surgeons is the ability to predict, before surgery, the difficulty of the procedure (whether the rhinoplasties will be technically easy or technically difficult to perform) and the success rate of the result (whether the rhinoplasty will likely give good results or poor ones).The present paper outlines a systematic approach to nasal analysis, allowing the surgeon to consistently estimate, before surgery, the degree of technical difficulty of each rhinoplasty, as well as predicting its future result in terms of patient satisfaction. This preoperative evaluation is based on the analysis of the skin texture and the osteocartilagenous framework on lateral and frontal views.

In the first of this two-part article on the 'optimum mobility' facelift, facial tissue mobility was analyzed, and three theories or mechanisms emerged: 'intrinsic mobility', 'surgically induced mobility' and 'optimum mobility points'.In this second part, these three theories are applied to a rhytidectomy procedure termed 'optimum mobility' facelift. Before surgery, 'optimum mobility points' are marked on the skin.
