Background: Facial implants have emerged as pivotal tools for both reconstructive and aesthetic skull bone augmentation. Contemporary manufacturing techniques, such as computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) systems, have revolutionized facial implants production, providing the advantages of high-level individualization. However, the absence of standardized facial measurements complicates the ability to accurately compare outcomes across various techniques.

This study aimed to reveal novel aesthetic facial measurements to provide tailored treatment concepts and advance patient care.
Methods: A total of n=101 study participants (46 females and 55 males) were presented with 120 patient portraits (frontal images in natural head posture; 60 females and 60 males) and asked to assess the facial attractiveness (scale 0-10; "How attractive do you find the person in the image?") and the model capability score (MCS; scale 0-10; "How likely do you think the person in the image could pursue a modelling career?").
Article Synopsis
- Balancing immune responses in solid organ transplantation (SOT) and vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) is challenging due to issues like acute and chronic rejection and side effects from immunosuppressants, which can increase cancer risk.
- There is a need for innovative therapies, such as cellular therapy, which aims to promote immune tolerance with fewer side effects by utilizing different cell types like CAR-T cells, mesenchymal stromal cells, and regulatory T cells.
- The review discusses the immunological roles and potential benefits of these cellular therapies in improving transplant outcomes, as well as the current state of their application and future research opportunities in transplantation surgery.
