Summary
The Morpheus 3D scanner effectively aids in planning augmentation rhinoplasty by simulating results and meeting patient aesthetic needs. This technology enhances preoperative counseling and patient satisfaction in rhinoplasty procedures.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Medical Imaging
- Facial Anatomy
Background:
- Three-dimensional (3D) scanning is increasingly utilized for facial morphologic analysis in clinical settings.
- Its application in augmentation rhinoplasty planning has not been previously reported.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of the Morpheus 3D scanner for preoperative planning in rhinoplasty.
- To demonstrate the utility of 3D scanning in achieving desired aesthetic outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective review of 241 patients undergoing primary and secondary rhinoplasty (September 2018 - August 2020).
- Preoperative augmentation degree determined using Morpheus 3D scanner based on patient aesthetic needs.
- Silicone implants were carved and implanted according to 3D simulation results via closed or open rhinoplasty.
Main Results:
- Rhinoplasty operations were successfully performed based on the 3D simulated shapes.
- Patients reported high satisfaction with the aesthetic outcomes achieved.
Conclusions:
- The Morpheus 3D scanner is a valuable tool for planning aesthetic rhinoplasty.
- It facilitates preoperative customized patient counseling by visualizing current anatomy and aesthetic goals.
