A novel standardized approach for the 3D evaluation of upper eyelid area and volume.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging and morphometrics are becoming the preferred craniofacial surface imaging modality. However, as a unique advantage of 3D imaging, areal and volumetric measurements have been rarely conducted and validated for evaluating soft tissue change in the periocular region, especially the upper eyelids. Therefore, based on an existing periocular landmark identification strategy, we proposed a novel modified method to define a standardized upper eyelid region for areal and volumetric measurements and validate its reliability for future clinical application.

Methods

Forty-four healthy adult volunteers were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Three-dimensional facial images were taken with a 3D imaging system. Subsequently, the upper
