Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Anteroposterior differences, in millimeters, of facial soft tissue points in the paranasal region. Timepoint: pre op, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. Method of measurement: Soft tissue points, determined reproducibly based on facial anatomical landmarks, are analyzed in the STL files obtained from patient facial scans using Geomagic Control software. The anteroposterior differences of these points are then determined.	—
