Résumé
Existing evaluation tools of tear trough deformity are based on subjective impression of clinicians. More accurate quantitative assessment methods are needed. This study aimed to propose a quantitative three-dimensional assessment method for the tear trough deformity in comparison with the Barton's grading system and apply it to the efficacy evaluation of orbital septum fat transposition. 117 healthy Chinese adults (234 eyes) were enrolled and divided into four groups according to the Barton's grading system. Three-dimensional facial images were captured using Vectra H1 handheld camera. 6 anthropometric landmarks were identified on each eye and 8 linear measurements were generated accordingly. Intra-observer reliability was determined and measurements were compared between groups. Pre- and post-operative three-dimensional measurements were compared in 19 patients who received lower blepharoplasty with orbital septum fat transposition. The severity of tear trough was positively correlated with age (P < 0.001) but not BMI (P = 0.145) or gender (P = 0.280). Intra-rater reliability of the 8 linear measurements was excellent except for the vertical distance between the palpebrale inferioris margin and the tear trough below the pupillary center. Intergroup comparison showed that the horizontal distance between the lateral end of tear trough (P < 0.001) and medial canthus and the sagittal vector from tear trough point toward eyelid bag point (P = 0.009) increased with grade, while the vertical distance from mid-pupil to palpebrale inferioris margin decreased gradually (P = 0.001). Orbital septum fat transposition significantly improved the tear trough deformity as assessed by these three-dimensional measurements. We demonstrated a novel quantitative evaluation method of the tear trough deformity using three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry and proved it to be valid and reliable. It showed good value of clinical application and might help with periorbital rejuvenation planning and outcome assessment.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Existing evaluation tools of tear trough deformity are based on subjective impression of clinicians. More accurate quantitative assessment methods are needed. This study aimed to propose a quantitative three-dimensional assessment method for the tear trough deformity in comparison with the Barton's grading system and apply it to the efficacy evaluation of orbital septum fat transposition.
METHODS
METHODS
117 healthy Chinese adults (234 eyes) were enrolled and divided into four groups according to the Barton's grading system. Three-dimensional facial images were captured using Vectra H1 handheld camera. 6 anthropometric landmarks were identified on each eye and 8 linear measurements were generated accordingly. Intra-observer reliability was determined and measurements were compared between groups. Pre- and post-operative three-dimensional measurements were compared in 19 patients who received lower blepharoplasty with orbital septum fat transposition.
RESULTS
RESULTS
The severity of tear trough was positively correlated with age (P < 0.001) but not BMI (P = 0.145) or gender (P = 0.280). Intra-rater reliability of the 8 linear measurements was excellent except for the vertical distance between the palpebrale inferioris margin and the tear trough below the pupillary center. Intergroup comparison showed that the horizontal distance between the lateral end of tear trough (P < 0.001) and medial canthus and the sagittal vector from tear trough point toward eyelid bag point (P = 0.009) increased with grade, while the vertical distance from mid-pupil to palpebrale inferioris margin decreased gradually (P = 0.001). Orbital septum fat transposition significantly improved the tear trough deformity as assessed by these three-dimensional measurements.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
We demonstrated a novel quantitative evaluation method of the tear trough deformity using three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry and proved it to be valid and reliable. It showed good value of clinical application and might help with periorbital rejuvenation planning and outcome assessment.
