Summary: | Ensuring uniformity in the nomenclature standardization of facial creases is important
to enable the scholarly community to follow and debate the advancements in
research. This review highlights the prevailing disparity in the nomenclature that
refers to the same facial crease by researchers and laypeople, and suggests uniform
names for the facial creases based on available literature. The previous and current
trends in facial crease classification are also discussed. The nomenclature of the
facial creases considered for this review include the following: the nasolabial fold,
corner of the mouth lines, upper and lower lip creases around the mouth region,
the mandibular folds, the bifid nose, the transverse nasal line, the vertical glabellar
line, chin crease, the mental crease, four type of creases around the eyes, forehead
creases, and periauricular creases. A figure illustrating the above facial creases is
included as reference. It is hoped that the proposed standardization of nomenclature
would ensure a more scientific referencing of facial creases enabling more
effective scientific interaction among the scholarly community as well as the laypeople
interested in the research and application of facial creases. |
