A Novel Study on Alar Mobility of HAN Female by 3dMD Dynamic Surface Imaging System. Y Zhong, Y Zhu, T Jiang et al.

3dMD Customer Research, Medical, Normative Study, Plastics

Asian alar anatomy has great distinction from Caucasian, processing conspicuous alar movement and damaging alar aesthetic dynamically. This novel study defined alar mobility by three-dimensional anthropometric analysis, providing objective references for alar dynamic aesthetic and arousing plastic surgeons’ attention on keeping balance of static and dynamic aesthetic in rhinoplasty.

Soft tissue asymmetry is predominately presented in the lower-third of the face in skeletal Class III patients and with various variations on other facial anatomical regions. Morphometric techniques and computer intensive analysis have allowed sophisticated quantification and visualization of the pointwise asymmetry on the full face.

This study believes 3D printed templates usage increases time efficiency, improves the match of skin flaps in donor and recipient arms, and allows us to control the amount of skin surplus without skin flap tip necrosis. In these procedures where time is of the essence, this team believes pre-operative planning is imperative for its success.

Three-dimensional virtual planning in mandibular advancement surgery: soft tissue prediction based on deep learning. R ter Horst, H van Weert, T Loonen, S Bergé, S Vinayahalingam, F Baan, T Maal, G de Jong, T Xi.
