| Requirements
for a Nose Prosthesis: |
| 1. |
In the case of a total
amputation, it is extremely important to estimate the measurements
of the original nose and its configuration |
| 2. |
If possible, provide
close-up photographs of the patient which were taken prior to the
amputation. The use of photographs is the best method by
which to duplicate the original nose |
| 3. |
The accuracy of detail
picked up in the cast will determine the degree of proper fit and
the patient's ultimate satisfaction with the restoration.
Refer to the Realastic Handbook for basic methods and techniques. |
| 4. |
Indicate all
measurements in millimeters. |
| 5. |
In addition to the
information that is required on this chart, please include any
additional information that will assist the sculptor, such as
comparative drawings. |
