Purpose: An accurate assessment of range and localization of facial asymmetry is essential to restore facial symmetry. Establishment of a common and well-accepted calculation method might facilitate the interpretation of the assessment results. The aim of the present study was to analyze the global and partial asymmetry of facial soft tissues using 3 different calculation methods and investigate the relationships among them.
