Abstract
A new color-coded method of illustrating three-dimensional changes in the bone and the ratio of soft tissue to bone movement is described. T he technique is illustrated by superimposing preoperative and 1-year p ostoperative CT scans of three patients following bimaxillary surgery. The method has proved to be a very simple, effective, and readily int erpreted method of quantifying both bone and the ratio of movement of the overlying soft tissues across the face following surgery.
