INTRODUCTION
Photography is integral to the practice of facial plastic surgery. We describe a new 3-D photography system, the 3dMDface System (3dMD, Atlanta, Ga), which provides a high-resolution 3-D image that can be viewed from any angle; has the ability to accurately measure surface distance, area, and volume; and performs profile adjustments that can be viewed in 3 dimensions. We describe specific applications of this system to facial plastic surgery, namely, to that of the aging face.
In facial plastic surgery, photography documents results, aids in educating surgeons and patients, and provides medicolegal documentation. Standard, 2-dimensional (2-D) photographs taken from multiple orientations provide a representation of the 3-D structure of the face. With recent improvements in digital photography and computer applications, however, 3-D photography has become a practical reality. We describe the 3dMDface System and its applications in this article.
METHODS
The 3dMDface System includes 6 digital cameras, 3 . . . [Full Text of this Article]
