Biometry, a New Method to Objectively Evaluate Results After Facelift Surgery.

Purpose: The increasing popularity of cosmetic surgery and its effect on facial recognition software has attracted the attention of many researchers. Indeed, after having undergone cosmetic surgery procedures, nonlinear modifications that are made to facial biometric landmarks may lead to difficulty in recognizing individuals, who received a surgery, by facial biometric systems. This finding motivated us to discuss this topic differently and take advantage of these modifications to objectively study the results of cosmetic surgery.

Long-term therapeutic outcomes of facial arteriovenous malformations: A retrospective bi-centric study of 30 cases.

Introduction: Among vascular malformations, arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are potentially the most invasive and destructive especially when located on the face. Their management is still subject to controversy and yet no consensus exists. Our aim was to report long-term therapeutic outcomes for patients with facial AVM managed either by embolization alone or by resection with/without preoperative embolization.
