Natural variation of the zygomaticomaxillary complex symmetry in normal individuals

The most frequently encountered midfacial fractures are zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures (Gupta et al., 2009; van Hout et al., 2013; Arangio et al., 2014). In ZMC fracture cases, the restoration of facial symmetry is the main treatment goal after functional recovery (Ellis, 2013; Ellis and Perez, 2014) because symmetry plays an important role in the visual perception of faces (Grammer and Thornhill, 1994; Perrett et al., 1998; Rhodes, 2006). Furthermore, a symmetrical face is correlated with perceived healthiness and attractiveness (Rhodes et al., 1998; Jones et al., 2001; Fink et al., 2006).
