The presented 3D imaging system is reliable in recording facial deformity and could be utilized in recording cleft deformities and measuring the changes following surgery

The use of children with UCL as controls for UCLP studies is inappropriate. This technique overcame the limitations of direct measurement of infant faces to aid the surgeon in the planning and subsequent re-evaluation of surgical rationale.

3D stereophotogrammetry is a noninvasive, accurate, and archiveable method of assessing facial form and surgical change. Nasal symmetry can be quantified and measured reliably with this tool. Bone grafting to the alar base region of treated UCLP patients with volume deficiency produces improvement in nasal symmetry.
