Measurement of the eminence landmark before and after surgery. Red arrows indicate the malar tubercle (MT). a, b Frontal three-dimensional (3D) images obtained before and after malarplasty. The inset table in a shows the 3D coordinates of the MT on each side. Pre: before surgery, post: after surgery. Positive displacement values indicate inward movement on the x axis, anterior movement on the y axis, and upward movement on the z axis. c, d Measurement of the inward movement of the malar eminence at the level of the most protruding soft tissues in the coronal plane, including the MT. Yellow arrow and 5.48 in d indicate the direction and degree of medial movement of the area. e, f Lateral 3D images of malarplasty
