The Great Profile

The Great Profile refers to a detailed analysis of a person's facial features, especially the side view or "profile," to assess underlying structures like the bones, muscles, and tissues. Historically used in art and anthropology, it helps understand facial proportions, symmetry, and relationships between features. Modern applications include orthodontics and cosmetic surgery, where the profile guides treatment planning to achieve balanced, harmonious facial aesthetics. Essentially, it’s a comprehensive look at the side view of a face to evaluate and improve facial harmony and function.
