P115 : Facial profile alteration following filler rhinoplasty: analysis by overlay of before-and-after 3D images
2014
Background: The
noseis the most prominent feature of the face being located in the center.
Noseaugmentation, either through surgery or filler injection is a popular procedure in East Asian countries but the assessment of its outcome remains highly subjective. 3D imaging has been developed to enable more precise evaluation of the changes of the
noseafter
rhinoplasty. Objectives: In this study, we have used a 3D imaging system (Morpheus 3D scanner) to identify the anthropometric changes of the face following filler
rhinoplasty. Methods: A total of 40 patients who underwent filler
rhinoplasty(20 patients with a
cannulaand 20 patients with needle) were included in the study. 3D images were obtained before, immediately after, 1 day after and 2 weeks after the procedure and superimposed using the common facial landmarks. Results: The volume increase of the
noseat 2 weeks was 3.12 ml per 1ml of filler injected. The change in sellion depth was 3.65 mm per ml of filler material. There were also significant changes in the nasofrontal, nasofacial, nasolabial and the nasomental angles following filler
rhinoplasty. Differences in the measurements between the
cannulaand the needle group were also identified. Conclusion: Based on the results of our study, we suggest the 3D imaging system to be a reliable and promising tool for quantifying the changes in soft tissue dimension of the face.
