Soft tissue variables assessed in the frontal photograph. (1) interpupillary distance: the distance between left and right pupils; (2) alar width: distance between left and right alars. (3) nose length: distance between the midpoint of the pupils and subnasale; (4) upper lip length: distance between subnasale and stomion; (5) lip chin length: distance between stomion and menton; (6) upper lip vermilion: labrale superius to stomion; (7) lower lip vermilion: stomion to labrale inferius. Vertical measurements including nose length, upper lip length, lip chin length, upper lip vermilion, and lower lip vermilion were measured as a distance parallel to the vertical bisector of the pupils. The unit is the percentage of the interpupillary distance
