Individual identification is one of the research hotspots in the practice of forensic science, and the judgment is usually built on the comparison of the unique biological characteristics of the individual, such as fingerprints, iris and DNA. With the dramatic increase in the number of cases related to video image investigations, there is an increasing need for the technology to identify individuals based on the macroscopic comparison of facial appearance biometrics. At present, with the introduction of computer three-dimensional (3D) modeling and 3D superimposition comparison technology, considerable progress has been made in individual identification methods based on macroscopic comparison of facial appearance biometrics. This paper reviews individual facial appearance biometric methods based on macroscopical comparison, comprehensively analyzes the advantages and limitations of different methods, and puts forward recommendations and prospects for subsequent research.

This cross-sectional observational study aimed to investigate the relationship between satisfaction with facial appearance among young women, as measured by the FACE-Q tool, and facial asymmetry quantified through stereophotogrammetry. A total of 50 women aged 18 to 30 years with a normal body mass index were recruited for the study. Participants were categorized as either symmetrical or asymmetrical based on facial asymmetry assessments obtained through clinical examination and stereophotogrammetry using the Vectra M3 system.

Patients with localized scleroderma on the face typically exhibit asymmetrical linear or patchy skin lesions and indentations on areas such as the scalp and forehead, with a smooth, waxy surface. In the early stages, medication is used to control the progression of the disease. In later stages, plastic surgery is performed to repair facial skin lesions.

Introduction: Non-surgical alternatives to rhinoplasty are gaining interest but, despite its popularity, research on the long-term psychological impact and post-rhinofiller patients' satisfaction is limited. This study evaluates patient-reported satisfaction and quality of life immediately after and 6 months post-non-surgical rhinoplasty using the FACE-Q questionnaire.
Patients And Methods: This prospective study was conducted from May 2023 to March 2024, involving 83 patients who underwent rhinofiller treatments for esthetic purposes.
