Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) scanning-based morphologic analyses of facial structures are becoming more popular in several clinical settings. However, the application has not yet been reported in augmentation rhinoplasty. The purpose of the study is to show the efficacy of the Morpheus 3D scanner for preoperative planning in rhinoplasty. In this retrospective review, 241 patients who underwent primary and secondary rhinoplasty from September 2018 to August 2020 were reviewed. The authors determined the degree of augmentation preoperatively using the Morpheus 3D scanner based on patients' esthetic needs. According to the simulated 3D embodiment result, the Silicone implant was carved and implanted with closed or open rhinoplasty approach. The operation was performed based on the simulated 3D shape, and the patients were satisfied with the esthetic outcomes. Morpheus 3D scanner can be a valuable tool for esthetic rhinoplasty planning. This tool also provides preoperative customized patient counseling based on their current anatomic characteristics and esthetic needs.
