Stereophotographic measurement of change in facial soft tissue morphology following surgery.
Changes in soft tissue morphology induced by surgery are generally analysed using midline profiles only, derived from photographs and cephalometric radiographs. Full face photographs supplement these records. Soft tissues and their changes can be measured in three dimensions using stereophotography. This report described how the three dimensional changes produced by facial surgery were measured for a patient undergoing surgery to the mandible.
