factor–related challenges can be faced upon manual measurements that include errors and associated manual calculations and results being observer dependent. An android-based smartphone application called Facekit is developed and tested for clinical settings in [1] using a head tracking device and an ML Kit. The cellular application is tested on 15 patients for digital and direct measurement methods’ comparison by collecting orbital, orbitonasal, naso-oral, and naso-facial ratio data. The authors concluded that Facekit’s highest intraclass correlation accuracy of the two methods was 0.32, which is very low compared to the benchmark value of 0.75, which is considered to be an excellent agreement between the digital method and manual method. Even though the results attained are weak, this first version of Facekit can be the first step toward further advanced versions in the future.
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) as deep learning is applied for wrinkle detection in the literature for plastic surgical purposes. Facial feature recognition prediction depends on wrinkles on the forehead, corner and under-the-eye regions, and cheeks, while forehead wrinkles have been used frequently for age estimation [29]. This is due to possible age progression indicators such as skin texture, face structure, and skin color, noting that face features change with age progression of a human. Wrinkles that are present in the cheek region that relate to the curvilinear nature of the nasolabial line, which extends from the nose to the mouth region on both left and right sides, are used in age analysis [30, 31]. Figure 1 displays the age progression of a child using a computer algorithm.

Complete face detection method is utilized in [2] using CNN to determine wrinkles that can be easily identified even if some parts of the face are not recognized by the algorithm. A classifier is developed and used by the authors to reduce weaknesses for outcome advancement. Efficient identification of skin flaws was the key for analysis of wrinkle prediction; insufficient skin flaws are eliminated in the facial region of interest by

analyzing at what stage the wrinkles appear. The elements that are determined to be weak are removed from the associated region. A dataset of Kaggle data source [32] containing a total of 754 facial images with and without wrinkles is used by the authors with the associated CNN training and testing sets developed. The Hough transformation method is used to process images for detecting shapes with their mathematical representations. The designed CNN contained two hidden layers. Upon testing using Python IDE, a wrinkle detection accuracy of 95.85% is attained [2].
Facial anthropometry data and analysis of such data have been used for plastic surgery applications and the design of facial protective equipment. Facial morphology requires a large amount of associated morphology data based on the 3D facial specs, and the database classification is accomplished by using the measured facial parameters. The classic method of 3D points’ selection on facial landmarks is through manual observations and the associated manual calculations upon patient interaction. Advancement of this classic method is accomplished by using deep learning algorithms with automatic point selection/marking and measurement of the facial features. Fuzzy clustering method is a way to classify data points in which each data is allowed to be a member of different clusters; Fuzzy clustering algorithmic analysis can be used for classification and counting, and calculations related to the facial data according to the morphological key facial points can be accomplished along with the length calculations including nose width, face width, and eye width. Effectiveness of the algorithmic approach in comparison to classic method is conducted by comparing the two methods’ outcomes through different statistical analysis, such as regression or correlation analysis with error terms’ determination. A CNN model that has such a classification is designed to obtain facial feature points containing a convolution layer, a pooling layer, and a fully connected layer in [3]. Rectified linear unit activation function is used by the authors for fully connected layers and L2 loss function is used for optimizing the entire model for attaining the coordinate positions of the facial points. For the application of the CNN on a dataset, image enhancement using rotation and translation is applied on 5000 facial images containing manually marked 10 key points: four of the points associated with the tip, middle, and corners of the nose; four points attained from left and right corners of the eyes; and two points attained from the corners of the mouth. Using DL for
https://t.me/medicina_free
automatic facial measurements and fuzzy clustering analysis of facial images into 65 groups, the authors of [3] concluded that the developed CNN had an average error rate of less than 0.8% and an average failure rate of less than 4.5% in the feature point positioning when compared to other existing algorithms.
A plastic surgery dataset is used for training, testing, and validating a CNN developed in [14] in order to perform facial recognitions after plastic surgeries by extracting features with the associated feed forward (input to output progressing) model’s classification of both normal and surgically altered images. Noting the computational complexity of calculations related to the associated network’s architecture, it is paramount to reduce the GPU and computational requirements for the training process along with the minimal time usage to train the network over the CPU. A loss function can be used to describe how much closer the current model gets to the accurate model and helps in adjusting the parameters of the model to further decrease the loss in next iteration. A loss function used by the authors helped to drop the number of incorrect positives for each iteration to increase the accuracy of the model, and such an accurate model reduces the computational requirements and complexities of the system without compromising the precision value that is linked to accuracy. Figure 2 displays the general structure of a CNN with multiple layers and their image correspondences.

The authors reported a training accuracy of 100% and validation accuracy of 82% over plastic surgery images. From a theoretical framework standpoint, the authors concluded that a CNN-based facial recognition model can work with minimal GPU requirement by using a single CPU, making the method of calculations more efficient. Establishment of a real­time robust identification system is needed.
Machine learning has been applied in ophthalmology and evaluation of eyelid contours [3438]. A deep learning-based image analysis to automatically compare eyelid morphology corrections upon blepharoptosis surgery using pre- and postoperative images in [39]. Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) is used as a part of plastic surgical procedures in [4].
Two neural networks are generated and compete with each other in a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) in the machine learning theory to improve accuracy of their predictions. In the associated GAN generation, training and testing of the developed deep learning is based on the pre- and postoperative blepharoptosis surgery–related facial image data collected between 2016 and 2021 at an oculoplastic clinic. There are four modules: data processing module, ocular detection module, analyzing module, and prediction module, which are used in the designed postoperative appearance prediction system with the GAN model. The goal of the authors was to
https://t.me/medicina_free
design an automated deep learning model that can accurately predict postoperative appearance of blepharoptosis surgery patients. This approach is expected to result in displaying patients their appearance after the surgery and reduce their concerns. The absolute errors using predicted and actual marginal reflex distances are calculated for determining the accuracy of the model. Additionally, feedback is attained from 750 pairs consisting of experts and patients, and the analysis indicated a high satisfaction rate of 56% and satisfaction rate of 35.7%.
A deep neural network (DNN) with two stages of cascaded fully convolutional network (FCN) is developed for facial landmark detection in [6] facial palsy from coarse to fine. In an FCN, only locally connected layers (such as convolution and pooling) are used; avoiding the use of dense layers allows the network to be trained faster due to the reduced number of parameters. The authors of [6] developed a database containing annotated facial landmarks for facial palsy for testing of the developed DNN.
Recognition of faces that experienced plastic surgery is conducted in [11] by using a Deep Feed Forward Neural Network (DFFNN). The back propagation of this developed neural network to update the weights of the model is the key feature of such an approach to optimize the training ability of the model with a reduction on the computational complexity of the solution.
Bootstrapping sampling with a confidence interval of 95% is used for application on the plastic surgery facial database. The authors used metrics such as Recognition Rate, mean square error, F-score, and regression coefficient for comparison purposes with the existing models. The developed DFFNN results are determined to be equivalent to the existing CNN-based models, such as Deepface (Alexnet), FaceNet (GoogleNet), VGGface (VGGNet-16), Light CNN (Light CNN), SphereFace (ResNet-
64), Cosface (ResNet-64), Ring loss (ResNet-64), and Arcface (ResNet-
100). Recognition rate values of 98.2% obtained for local surgeries and
97.9% obtained for global surgeries are the best results attained when compared to the commercial CNN methods mentioned above. Each facial image of the 88 subjects in the database is independently and manually annotated with 68 facial landmarks and 16 classes of asymmetric facial expressions, including right eyebrow, left eyebrow, right smile, left smile, right snarl, left snarl, right wink, left wink, gentle eye closure, tight eye closure, brow raise, close smile, frown, funny, open smile, and snarl. The

authors of [11] used conventional methods such as Emotrics [39], an open­source software utilizing machine learning for automatic facial landmark detection for patients with facial palsy, and Supervised Descent Method (SDM) [40], a widely used algorithm for facial landmark detection. Proposed DNN by the authors of [11] performed better than the Emotrics and SDM based on the dataset developed by the authors; hence, landmark comparison of normal and palsy faces indicated the importance of the developed facial landmark database specifically for facial palsy for further performance improvement.
From a technological standpoint, there are commercially available facial recognition and analysis software AI-driven tools, including the following:
Amazon Rekognition by Amazon [41] FaceMe AI Facial Recognition Engine by Cyberlink [42] Google, Vision AI [44] Luxand Face Recognition API [46] Kairos face recognition [43] Microsoft Azure Face Recognition API [45]
A commercial AI software offered by Haystack.ai is used in [8] for assessment of 65 orthognathic surgery patients’ age and attractiveness prediction. Authors of [8] tested Haystack’s AI solution for its ability to match “attractiveness” of the postoperative orthognathic surgery patients with the definition of attractiveness used for the developed software. The AI application was significantly better than both pre- and postsurgical ratings of the humans based on statistical calculations. Similarly, attractiveness ratings of AI solution differed from the human raters but still reflected the same general trends.
Deep learning is used in [17] to simulate postoperative facial appearances of orthognathic surgery patients with jaw deformity corrections. A facial shape change prediction network is introduced by the authors for mapping bony facial shape changes to facial shape changes. Pre­and postoperative data are used in the network that utilized weak supervision. Conventional methods in this area of interest mainly utilized biomechanical modeling with Finite Element Method (FEM) in the associated simulation, which can be labor intensive and computationally challenging. The results attained by the authors in [17] are compared with one of the conventional methods utilizing FEM, introduced in [47], called
https://t.me/medicina_free
realistic lip sliding effect (FEM-RLSE). Qualitative and quantitative analysis of pre- and postoperative computed tomography (CT) images of 24 female and 16 male patients with jaw deformities are used for analysis and comparison purposes to evaluate the proposed method with the conventional methods.
The proposed network’s qualitative evaluation indicated its achievement of 9 better predictions, 18 comparable predictions, and 13 worse predictions when compared to FEM-RLSE. Wilcoxon signed-rank test used for the statistical significance of the two methods with the proposed network to designate three points for a better prediction, two points for a comparable prediction, and one point for a worse prediction, indicating the proposed and the conventional methods to be comparable up to an accuracy of p>0.3. The proposed network model is determined to be 15 times faster than the conventional FEM-based method.
Two machine learning models for facial deformation detection and measurement are developed in [18]. One of the models is trained on a dataset of 200,000 normal faces utilizing a convolutional autoencoder that serves as a variant of CNN utilizing unsupervised learning of convolution filters, and such an autoencoder is used for reconstruction of the database images by learning optimal filters to minimize reconstruction errors; this reconstruction error attained from the autoencoder is used as an indicator of facial abnormality in [18]. The other model is trained on the same 200,000 normal faces and additional images that entirely lacked normality with the face detector confidence score serving for measurable outcomes on the results. Both ML results are compared with the human subjects’ evaluations on a 7-point scale. The evaluation results on 80 persons’ evaluations of 60 images indicated high correlations between their average score and the ML results. The authors concluded the possibility of using the two ML models as a possible handheld tool for facial deformation detection.
Aesthetics is one of the areas that machine learning is applied in [53]. An automated classifier is designed using supervised learning, and the training of the model is completed by using 165 facial features extracted from attractive female face images that were also independently graded by human referees. A variety of descriptive attributes that relate to postoperative target variables such as facial ratios are collected as the attributes to be used in the decision trees developed. The results were strongly dependent on the human classification of facial beauty. High
https://t.me/medicina_free
accuracy of automated classifier made it a possibility to be used in the future as a predictive tool for estimating a patient’s perceived beauty following aesthetic surgery, providing a quantitative measure to possibly discourage patients from undergoing procedures that offer marginal improvement by setting expectations.
3 Fracture Detection Through Machine Learning Applications
There is a shortage of specialists and plastic surgeons that can diagnose facial bone fractures that motivated researchers to develop ML applications that can fulfill such tasks [9]. There are limited number of studies that relate to the fracture detection on the facial bone structure due to several limitations and challenges. The first difficulty that a machine learning application faces is to read and classify facial bone fractures due to its occurrence in many different places in different forms. The second obstacle is the challenge faced by the architect of the ML application for reading the facial structure and designing an ML solution that can fulfill training and testing accuracy expectations. For instance, in the case of applying ML to cervical bones, it is rather easy to successfully classify and predict nonuniformity of the cervical bone by using ML due to its uniform structure. There are limited number of ML solutions developed for facial bone fractures and we will cover the associated literature in this section.
The diagnosis of nasal fractures incorporates human factors related challenges and can result in a variability of readings and results as well as the time it takes to determine the fractures; this can be particularly critical in the diagnosis of traumatic nasal fractures from facial CT analysis perspective for early reconstruction. Due to this reason, the ability to detect nasal fractures automatically by using deep learning is investigated in [5]. A 3D-CNN structure is used by the authors for attaining the goal by incorporating facial CT scans and a 3D computer-aided diagnostic system. In this design, the computer-aided diagnostic system served as the automatic diagnostic system due to its ability to detect various types of fractures in the literature, such as hip and vertebral fractures [4850]. The experimental setup was based on the dataset consisting of 2535 patients’ nasal bone CT images, with 53.25% normal and 46.75% fractured bones,
https://t.me/medicina_free
and binary nasal bone classification is conducted to distinguish between normal and fractured bones using the 3D-CNN. 3D-ResNet-34 and 3D­ResNet-50 are used as deep learning models. Training, testing, and validation of both normal and fractured nose data are designed to scale the learning ability and evaluation of the deep learning model. The learning of the 3D-CNN plays a significant role in the outcomes, and a 3D-CNN model has automatic feature extraction and selection with spatial dimensioning during the training of the model to optimize performance. Using well­known calculations for the evaluation of DL models, including the area under receiving operator curve, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, the 3D voxel data approach with cubic topology achieved the highest performance during the binary 3D classification of nasal bone based on the facial CT using a single network. In this outcome, 150 errors occurred on average and both models reported errors due to minor fractures without depressed fractures or deviated nose. The approach followed in [5] indicated the possibility of effective use of AI for automatic diagnosis of nasal bone fractures, with 3D-CNNs in a facial 3D CT image voxel dataset.
Another deep learning application for fracture detection on CT images is developed in [9]. The authors used an object detection model called YOLOX-S that is trained by using the Intersection over Union (IoU) loss value; a value that varies between 0 and 1 specifying the overlap percentage amount between the predicted bounding box of the image by the algorithm and the ground truth bounding box. In the case when IoU=1, there is 100% overlap between the bounding box used by the algorithm and the ground truth box, and a value of zero means there is no overlap between the boxes. In addition, the authors modified the data augmentation methods of YOLOX and introduced a new data augmentation method [52] to maximize the effect of data augmentation. The test dataset consisted of CT scans of 40 patients; 47.5% of these images were fracture free attained from normal patient, 5% of the images had both nasal bone fractures and other facial fractures, 2.5% containing only other facial fractures and no nasal bone fractures, and the remaining scans containing only nasal bone fractures. The training CT scan data are selected only from the nasal bone fractures. The measured instances included average precision, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score. Among the 14 models generated by using 7 different loss functions, one of the systems is observed to be good at classifying whether a person has a fracture or not; however, average precision is determined to
https://t.me/medicina_free
be only 69.8%. We refer to [9] for further details on the developed models and the best model generated.
4 Use of Deep Learning for Preoperative Facial Simulation
Postoperative face simulation, diagnostics, and patients’ risk stratification are designed by using deep learning in [10]. The authors initially used an adaptive median filter that allows discrimination of pixels in the filtering window as corrupted and uncorrupted depending on the nature of the pixel determined through statistical calculation with a follow-up filtering technique applied to corrupted pixels in the window. The median value of the pixels in the filtering window is used for replacement of the noisy pixels. In addition, a computer image processing technique called Histogram Equalization is used by integrating the Laplacian partial differential equation approach to improve the contrast in the images. A model called Smart restorative frustum model is used for converting into 3D.
The deep spatial Multiband VGG NET CNN is used by the authors for postoperative face prediction by using approximately 310,000 CT scans with the associated clinical records attained from different clinical centers. Two batches are formed by the authors to validate the algorithms clinically. The authors observed Jaccard and dice scores to be successful metrics that resulted in accurate outcomes compared to other traditional methods by using MATLAB. Accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity values of 93.7%,
99.8%, and 99.9% are attained, respectively, by using the suggested classifier and these values are determined to be higher than the same values of the other known approaches. Therefore, the authors concluded that postoperative face prediction is observed to be better than other existing mechanisms.
Computer vision and deep learning have been integrated in several studies with the goal of developing predictive models for blepharoplasty morphology, craniosynostosis, orthognathic dysmorphisms, and facial burns that may result in surgeries [13].
There are general surgical procedures developed that relate to burn research that utilizes machine learning to classify burn depth and determine
