Measuring face symmetry after facial reconstruction with 3D photos
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study checks how well the face looks balanced (symmetrical) after people have surgery to rebuild the middle or lower face. It uses a 3D camera to measure results, and the goal is to help improve future surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had surgery to rebuild the middle or lower part of your face using a flap (a piece of skin, muscle, or bone moved from another part of your body).
- Your surgery was done because of a tumor (benign or cancerous), jaw bone infection, or a facial injury.
- You had your surgery and follow-up care at one of the three surgical departments (maxillofacial, ENT, plastic surgery) at Marseille's CHU Conception hospital.
- You can understand and read French well enough to give your permission to be in the study.

This study uses regular front and side facial photos to help doctors better understand facial features in people with genetic conditions or after surgery. It may help improve how we diagnose and care for these conditions.
This study is testing a new French questionnaire to measure how satisfied people are with their nose reconstruction after skin cancer removal. It will help doctors better understand what matters most to patients after this type of surgery.
This study looks at how well “smile reconstruction” surgery works for people with facial paralysis, using 3D measurements that reflect patient experience and movement. You may be able to help test which nerve-connection approach leads to better smile outcomes.
This trial tests whether using a handheld 3D scanner is as accurate as a standard optical scanner for predicting soft tissue changes after corrective jaw surgery. It aims to find a more convenient and accessible way to plan surgery for patients with an underbite.
This study uses 3D face scanning to see how well your own fat, taken from another part of your body, can restore fullness to your face. It might help if you have a sunken or uneven look from a birth defect, injury, or aging.
This trial tests whether a full 3D computer-assisted approach helps better diagnose and correct jaw and facial deformities during orthognathic surgery. It may benefit patients who need surgery to realign their jaws.
