Three-dimensional facial soft-tissue changes after L-shaped Reduction Malarplasty: A pilot retrospective study. X Sun, Y Wei, H Younis, Z Zhou, H Ge, J Li.

Study aims to evaluate the quantitative facial soft tissue changes in relation to the underlying skeletal tissue following L-shaped RM using CT and 3dMD analysis and to investigate the patient’s pre- and post-operative satisfaction as well as surgical outcomes.

A new method to orient a 3-dimensional facial model to natural head position: A preliminary report on accuracy and reproducibility, AA Yin, Y Dong, X Zhang, BQ Song, SZ Bai.

To establish and validate a novel method to orient a 3-dimensional (3D) facial model to natural head position (NHP) in a stereophotogrammetric system using a 2-dimensional frontal full-face photograph of NHP.

Fully automated landmarking and facial segmentation on 3D photographs. B Berends, F Bielevelt, R Schreurs, et al.

A deep learning-based approach for automated landmark extraction from 3dMD facial photographs was developed and its precision was evaluated. The results showed high precision and consistency in landmark annotation, comparable to manual and semi-automatic annotation methods.
