The purpose of this study is to utilize an eye-tracker to assess how facial deformities change the way casual observers direct attention to the face, to utilize eye-tracking to measure the impact of facial reconstructive surgery on social facial perception, and to assess correlations between objective (eye-tracking) and subjective (questionnaire) perceptions of facial deformity.

The objective of this study is the application of regenerative medicine techniques for advanced and individualized nasal reconstruction. Using pre-operative 3D facial scanning, the patient can choose the desired nose shape. The data can then be used to create patient-specific templates for both the nasal tip reconstruction mold and the skin/soft tissue reconstruction template.
