This study examines facial asymmetry, desire for revision, and patient-reported outcomes at school age in children who received either endoscopic strip craniectomy with helmet therapy or fronto-orbital advancement.

A Three-Dimensional-Based Morphometric Analysis of a Standardized Overcorrection Technique for Fronto-Orbital Advancement in Metopic Craniosynostosis. MJ Pfaff, MK Bruce, S Erpenbeck, et al.

Neurosurgery, 3dMD Customer Research, Medical, 3dMDhead, Craniofacial/Cleft, Multimodal (CT/CBCT), Plastics

he purpose of this study is to describe in detail a standardized technique to fronto-orbital advancement utilizing the concept of “overcorrection” and objectively evaluate intermediate results.

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.

This study applied the transfer learning model with a convolutional neural network based on 3-dimensional (3D) contour line features to evaluate the facial symmetry before and after OGS. A total of 158 patients were recruited in a retrospective cohort study for the assessment and comparison of facial symmetry before and after OGS from January 2018 to March 2020. Three-dimensional facial photographs were captured by the 3dMD face system in a natural head position, with eyes looking forward, relaxed facial muscles, and habitual dental occlusion before and at least 6 months after surgery.
