Abstract:
In this article, authors mainly introduce new digital technology in facial bone contouring surgery. In our experience, these new technologies are crucial in ensuring the satisfaction of surgical accuracy. Our previous studies have shown surgeons can use precise pre-operative design to reduce operative time, reduce bleeding during surgery. Additionally, augmented reality can enhance the perspective perception of surgeons combining virtuality and reality. What's more, robot-assisted surgical technology also has a strong application prospect in facial contouring surgery. In the future, the combination of soft tissue contouring surgery will make the facial bone contouring surgery safer and more effective.
