A Comparative Study of the Aesthetic Outcome of Two Techniques for Unilateral Complete Cleft Lip Repair.

Background: Cleft lip repair aims to create symmetric nasolabial morphology with minimal scarring. Poor aesthetic outcomes may have damaging psychosocial implications. Determining the optimal method of recreating lip symmetry is a major goal of applied cleft clinical research.

Prospective Patient-Related Outcome Evaluation of Secondary Cleft Rhinoplasty Using a Validated Questionnaire.

Objective: To evaluate patient satisfaction and quality of life following secondary cleft rhinoplasty.

Design: Prospective consecutive patient, single unit, single surgeon study.

Setting: Spires Cleft Centre, Salisbury, Wilshire, United Kingdom, and private practice.

Assessment of the reproducibility of facial expressions with 3-D stereophotogrammetry.

Objective: There is little research into analyzing whether facial expression changes are secondary to actual treatment or normal day-to-day variation. This study aims to ascertain whether nine-facial expressions were reproducible.

Subjects And Methods: Thirty-nine white subjects performed nine-facial expressions, captured by three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry in three sessions.

3D stereophotogrammetry quantitative lip analysis.

Background: Reduction in lip volume is a stigmata of the aging face. There are many lip augmentation techniques but very few studies analyzing how these techniques change the three-dimensional structure of the lips. Furthermore, there is no consensus about whether the lip position should be standardized to either the lips closed or parted.

Misdiagnosis of burns: herpes zoster ophthalmicus.

Many conditions can mimic the presentation of burns. We present an interesting case in which the initial diagnosis of a chemical burn was later confirmed to be herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
