  1. MT malar tubercle
  2. +, anterior or upward movement
  3. Inward movement at the zygomatic eminence: measurements of bone changes from baseline after surgery in the coronal plane in the region with the most protruding soft tissues, including the MT, before surgery
  4. AP movement of the MT: the degree of AP movement of the MT
  5. Vertical movement of the MT: the degrees of upward and downward movement of the MT
