Photoshopping the face: simulated outcomes of orthofacial surgery
Corrective facial surgeries are highly elective procedures. Outcomes depend largely on the nature of the surgery performed (requiring an in-depth knowledge of surgical techniques and anticipated soft tissue changes) and should be predictable in terms of risk and outcomes, in...How developments in maxillofacial surgery have contributed to improved quality of life for patients
The patient perspective, functional outcomes and morbidity are key factors that influence ‘quality of life’ [1,2]. There are many examples of how developments in oral and maxillofacial surgery have improved the outcome and ‘quality of life’ for patients with head,...Could a left-sided facial perceptual bias affect satisfaction with oculoplastic procedures?
