“…For simulating nose surgery, the most common approach is the simulative system based on alter-image technique, e.g., AlterImage Cosmetic Surgery Simulation system in US, which inputs a lateral face photograph of patient and stretches and contorts local nose zone[1] [2].…”

This paper presents an intuitive nose surgery simulation system, to provide high quality prediction of postoperative appearance. The key component is a novel volumetric Laplacian deformation tool inspired by the state-of-the-art differential surface deformation techniques. Working on the volumetric domain and incorporating inhomogeneous material from CT data make the new approach suitable for soft tissue simulation. In particular, the system employs a special sketch contour driving deformation interface, which can provide realistic 3D nose surgery simulation with intuitive and straightforward 2D manipulation. Clinical validation using post-operative CT data demonstrated that the system can provide prediction results of high quality. And the surgeons who used the system confirmed that this planning system is attractive and has potential for daily clinical practice.

“…Development in different methods of imaging, computer technology and engineering sciences can account for a massive part of current concerns and challenges in this regard. Accurate measurement of human face, before and after surgery and predicting the morphology of human face along with its form changes after the surgery are important issues in facial surgery which can play significant roles in improving its quality [1]. As the first step, it is required to segment face skin accurately and appropriately in order to extract its different features.…”

Human face has a fundamental role in the appearance of the person. Today, the importance of facial surgeries is clear for everyone. Thus, there is a need for the appropriate and accurate facial skin segmentation in order to extract different features. Thus far, many methods have been presented for detecting skin under different illumination conditions. In this paper, an algorithm was proposed which was capable of accurate skin segmentation by modifying varying illumination in color images. The proposed algorithm was robust to determine the accurate border of facial skin in the color images taken from front and side perspectives and its 94.34% accuracy on the tested data indicated its efficiency relative to other algorithms including standard EM algorithm.

“…The surgery is performed for surgical correction of nasal air passages, for correcting structural defects and for giving nose a more aesthetic look. Whatever the reason behind the surgery, the most difficult aspect in rhinoplasty is to produce a predictable outcome which aesthetically conforms to the whole face [1]. The correction of nose tip in a manner which is aesthetically pleasing is a very difficult operation due to the fact that there are many coupled parameters that determine the angle and the projection of the nose tip.…”
