Chapter  Digital Imaging and Standardized Photography in Rhinoplasty 125

Smiling Frontal and Lateral View
e dynamics of smiling produce several changes in the anatomic relationships of the nose, particularly the relationship of the tip and alar base. e smiling frontal and lateral views highlight these changes and can help to identify an overactive depressor septi nasi muscle. is can cause excessive tip and alar base movement, resulting in a displeasing appearance.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING
Currently, most rhinoplasty analysis is carried out using direct measurements of two-dimensional photographs in the frontal, lateral, oblique, and basal views. However, the nose is a three-dimensional structure, and subtle irregularities can be dicult to visualize in two dimensions, particularly in the frontal view.
Variations in lighting and positioning with two-dimensional imaging can lead to inconsistencies, including changes in the appearance of tip-dening points. Despite the implementation of standardized protocols, a change of photogra­phers can cause signicant variations in image acquisition and interpretation. Furthermore, lenses typically used for rhinoplasty imaging ( and mm) pro­vide maximum depth of eld to ensure that the whole face is in focus, but these lenses can potentially distort the image.
,
To obtain absolute measurements with two-dimensional images, photographs may require recalibration to actual life size with the use of manual measure­ment tools such as rulers or calipers, and measurements of known distances in the two-dimensional image. Many of these obstacles can be overcome with three-dimensional imaging that employs linear and spatial parameters in a pre­cise manner to outline the shape of the nose. ese images are reproducible and maintain the proportions of the face independent of technique, photographer, camera, and lighting.

In general, three-dimensional systems consist of an optical system, a computer, and analytic soware. Several forms of three-dimensional imaging modalities have been developed for anatomic study. CT, three-dimensional ultrasonography, Moiré topography, laser scanning, and stereophotogrammetry are a few of these techniques. By far, stereophotogrammetry is the safest and most commonly used three-dimensional imaging modality that does not require laser beams and radiation. is involves taking multiple synchronous photographs with cameras at various angles. ese images are then digitally merged to generate a three­dimensional image. Examples of these commercial imaging modalities available today include Vectra D (Caneld Scientic, Inc.) and dMD System (dMD Inc., Atlanta, GA). ese machines are easily placed in a small room in the oce and do not require special lighting. Aer the images are captured and uploaded, the key landmarks are selected on a three-dimensional model automatically or manually. Uploaded images are analyzed with special soware, and image mor­phing and manipulation can be performed immediately with the patient. Various nasal parameters such as nasolabial angle, tip shape, dorsal height, nasal length, supratip break, alar shape, vertical and horizontal proportions, and nasal and facial symmetry can be assessed and manipulated either with the patient pres­ent or at a later time using the saved images. Unlike two-dimensional imaging soware tools, the image can be rotated and the degree of alteration visualized in multiple planes in real time. Preoperative and simulated postoperative images can be saved and printed for the patient or for intraoperative use.

To verify alignment and fully conceptualize the operative changes, the soware can alter the transparency of either the preoperative or postoperative images. Su­perimposition of these images allows precise evaluation of the operative changes.
e soware can also calculate volume changes. is is done by color coding, which demonstrates areas of volume change by way of a color gradient.

Furthermore, rather than measure straight point-to-point distances, which is possible with two-dimensional photographs, the distances from point to point can be measured along the contour of the nose with three-dimensional imaging soware. For example, postoperative changes in dorsal width performed via me­dial osteotomies or dorsal gras on a stable, wide nasal base will not yield visible changes in a two-dimensional frontal image. However, with three-dimensional imaging the topographic change in distance can be measured. erefore three­dimensional scanning can help in preoperative planning by providing the insight to anticipate the degree of resection necessary to achieve desired postoperative changes.
Facial analysis using three-dimensional imaging in conjunction with two­dimensional imaging may oer new potential for understanding and standard­izing aesthetic proportions of the face and nose. Advanced imaging technology is evolving rapidly and has allowed the use of four-dimensional systemsto create unprecedented, realistic facial animation (DID; Dimensional Imaging, Glasgow, Scotland). With this technology, angles and animations can be manipulated and measured aer capture to aid in the analysis of the dynamic tip and the dynamics of nostril movement before and aer rhinoplasty. Currently, these images take a long time to generate aer capture, and more practical documentation of these movements can be obtained with videography.
INTRAOPERATIVE IMAGING
Intraoperative images are essential for preparation of peer-reviewed presen­tations, resident education, and self-assessment. Although the portability of a point-and-shoot camera oers convenience for intraoperative use, a DSLR is preferable and will produce the most consistent images. Advantages of the DSLR are compatibility with interchangeable lenses, and high-powered external ashes for close-up images and optimal illumination.

Prime/xed focal length macrolenses are preferred over zoom lenses for intra­operative photography. is allows all settings to remain constant except for ne focus when images need to be obtained rapidly during the procedure. A prime lens with a focal length between  and mm is preferable.

An externally mounted macroash such as a ring ash can provide the porta­bility, even lighting, and power necessary for intraoperative photography. Ring ashes are powerful enough to facilitate the use of a small aperture, thus increas­ing the depth of eld and producing sharp close-up images. It may be necessary to make minor adjustments to the shutter speed and lens aperture during an in­traoperative photography session, particularly if shooting from various distances. Bracketing, which is the practice of taking two to three shots at dierent adjacent f-stop settings, is a helpful technique to ensure proper exposure.
Optimal intraoperative images are taken close up and framed with fresh surgi­cal towels to provide a clean background. Care must be taken to keep the eld free of blood, which absorbs a large amount of light and can aect exposure. e use of hooks and retractors helps to provide a clean background and is highly encouraged.

DIGITAL IMAGING AND MORPHING
Morphing soware can be an excellent tool for patient communication and edu­cation. Some examples of digital morphing soware include Adobe PhotoShop (Adobe Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA) and Aperture (Apple, Inc., Cupertino, CA). is allows a patient to point out areas of concern and communicate desired aesthetic goals. At the same time, the surgeon can educate the patient about re­alistic goals and limitations. It is extremely important to be cautious and judi­cious when using morphing soware to avoid creating unrealistic expectations. Patients need to be informed that morphed images are merely a simulation and do not guarantee a result. Moreover, surgeons should not generate imprudent or overzealous representations of postoperative outcomes. As is so oen stated: “e surgeon must underpromise and overdeliver.” Communication facilitated by digital imaging can alert surgeons to patients who have unrealistic expecta­tions and may help to discourage these patients from undergoing surgery.

LEGAL ISSUES
Clinical photographs have the potential to violate patient privacy. ey are con­sidered part of the medical record and are protected by federal laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and state privacy laws. erefore it is critical to understand the legal and ethical issues involved before undertaking clinical photography. Consent should be obtained for all pho­tographs and should include consent for publication and display (see the sample consent form in Chapter ). For publication in a journal, textbook, or Website, specic expressed consent for the particular publication should be obtained in addition to the standard consent form. Images published in these forums should be devoid of all patient information. As part of the medical record, patient pho­tographs should not be destroyed, until aer the legal medical record retention period as elapsed. ese images should be stored on a secure server with pass­word protection compatible with institutional guidelines. Storage of images on personal computers that are not encrypted is highly discouraged.
If patient consultation includes digital imaging and morphing, it is imperative to counsel patients and ensure that they understand that the images are a simulation and in no way guarantee the actual surgical result. is information needs to be included on all morphed images given to a patient. To ensure image legitimacy and minimize image tampering, all images given to a patient should be authen­ticated with a time-date stamp or signature.

CONCLUSION
High-quality, consistent imaging is an essential tool for rhinoplasty surgeons. Standardized imaging fosters communication, education, documentation, plan­ning, and mastery, thereby promoting patient and surgeon satisfaction alike.

KEY POINTS
Portrait lenses are recommended for rhinoplasty. ey have a focal length range of  to mm and prevent barrel distortion that oen occurs with shorter focal lenses.
Lighting is critical to the production of high-quality, standardized photographs in rhinoplasty.
To prevent a projected shadow, the ash should be on the same side as the anterior part of the patient, eectively casting the shadow behind the patient.
For high quality and consistency in rhinoplasty photography, we advocate the quarter light system as a major studio system.
Most experts agree that a medium or light blue tone is ideal for the back­ground, because these colors are nondistracting and generally complement all skin tones.
e six standard views necessary to critically evaluate nasal anatomy and the underlying nasal framework are the frontal, prole (le and right), oblique (le and right), and basal views.
It is extremely important to be cautious and judicious when using morph­ing soware to avoid creating unrealistic expectations. Patients need to be informed that the morphed images are merely a simulation and do not guar­antee a result.
Communication facilitated by digital imaging can alert surgeons to patients who have unrealistic expectations and may help to discourage these patients from undergoing surgery.
It is imperative to counsel patients and ensure that they understood that digital images are simulations and in no way guarantee the actual surgical result. is information needs to be clearly stated on all morphed images given to a patient.

Postoperative Management
of the Rhinoplasty Patient
Rod J. Rohrich  Jamil Ahmad
P
ostoperative management of rhinoplasty patients is an important component of rhinoplasty and an extension of what was performed in the operating room. Successful postoperative care begins in the preoperative period with a thorough review of the expected recovery with the patient. Patients should receive detailed written and oral postoperative instructions. Review of these instructions prepares patients for what is to be expected, claries and reinforces the details, minimizes anxiety, and helps involve them in their own care. A clear understanding of what activities are allowed and what restrictions should be followed in the postopera­tive period can help patients plan for the recovery period and may reduce the occurrence of certain complications.
-
Patients should receive detailed postoperative instructions before surgery. Review of these instructions prepares the patient for what is to be expected, claries and reinforces the details of the procedure, minimizes anxiety, and helps involve pa­tients in their own care.
Dressings, medications, and management of complications are the key elements of the postoperative period. Our preferred postoperative management protocols are outlined in this chapter.
POSTOPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
All patients undergoing surgery receive both general postoperative instructions and postoperative instructions specic to the procedure that they are having. ese instructions should be given to patients preoperatively so they have an opportunity to review them and prepare accordingly.

Patients should be given instructions as to when they should call their surgeon. Warning signs of potential emergencies should be reviewed. is includes both general problems such as fever nausea, vomiting, dizziness, shortness of breath, rash, rapid heartbeat and rapid breathing, and specic problems related to rhi­noplasty including excessive pain at the surgical incisions and bleeding. Patients should be given specic instructions as to how to contact their surgeon and when to seek emergency medical treatment.
Patients are routinely prescribed pain medication, anxiolytics, sleeping pills, and antinausea medication. Postoperative instructions should describe when it is ap­propriate for the patient to take these medications. It is particularly important to instruct patients to keep the head elevated and to apply cold compresses to the eyes and cheeks frequently for the rst hours aer surgery to decrease postop­erative swelling, which is normal and may not reach its peak until  to hours aer surgery. When doing this, it is important not to saturate and/or apply sig­nicant pressure to the external splint, because this can lead to premature splint removal or displacement. Most of the postoperative edema will be resolved by weeks. However, complete resolution of edema generally occurs  months to year aer surgery, and this is part of the normal recovery process. In addition, patients may notice increased edema when outside temperatures are warmer and with high salt consumption or aer alcohol consumption. To avoid unnecessary anxiety and premature evaluation of the results, patients should be told—initially during the preoperative consultation and again as a reminder postoperatively— about the time necessary for complete resolution of edema.
Patients must be instructed to keep the head elevated and to apply cold com­presses to the eyes and cheeks frequently for the rst 48hours aer surgery. ese measures are useful for decreasing postoperative swelling, which is normal and may not reach its peak until 48 to 72hours aer surgery.
Patients should be informed of activity restrictions, because these restrictions will oen inuence when they can return to their normal daily activities and to work. Strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for at least weeks af­ter surgery. Normal activity should be gradually resumed starting hours aer surgery. Strenuous activity and heavy liing of objects greater than  to  pounds should be avoided for  to weeks aer surgery. ere should be no trauma or pressure on the nose for weeks postoperatively.
