A dominant, protruding forehead and chin with a small nose are characteristics of a:

• A. A Concave Profile
• B. A Convex Profile
• C. A Straight Profile
• D. A Balanced Profile

Answer: (A)

In profile analysis, you look at how the forehead, midface, and chin project relative to each other. A concave profile occurs when the middle of the face sits back compared with the forehead and chin, creating an inward curve along the side of the face. Here, the forehead and chin are prominent while the nose is small, so the midsection recedes, making the overall silhouette curve inward. That inward dip is what defines a concave profile. The other profiles would show the line bowing outward (convex), remaining straight, or being balanced without an extreme forward point, which isn’t the case here.
