New 3D camera method could transform facial reconstruction outcomes
NCT ID NCT06534970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to develop and validate a new 3D camera technique to objectively measure facial symmetry after reconstructive surgery. Researchers will enroll 50 adults who have had facial reconstruction due to tumor removal, trauma, or other causes. The goal is to identify factors that lead to poor aesthetic results and understand how asymmetry affects quality of life.
