The face has functional and aesthetic importance. It represents the most identifiable aspect of an individual's physical being. Its role in a person's identity and ability to communicate can therefore not be overstated. The face also plays an important role in certain functional needs such as speech, communicative competence, eye protection, and emotional expressiveness. The latter function bears significant social and psychological import, because two thirds of our communication takes place through nonverbal facial expressions. Accordingly, the significance of reconstruction of the face is indisputable. Yet despite application of meticulous techniques and the development of innovative approaches, full functional and aesthetic reconstruction of the face remains challenging. This is because optimal reconstruction of specialized units of the face have to address both the functional and aesthetic roles of the face.
面部具有重要的功能和美学意义。它是个体生理特征中最具辨识度的部分。因此,它在个人身份认同和交流能力方面的重要性不言而喻。此外,面部在某些功能需求中也起着重要作用,如言语、交际能力、眼部保护和情感表达。后一种功能具有重要的社会和心理意义,因为我们 60%的沟通都是通过非言语的面部表情进行的。因此,面部重建的意义是不可置疑的。然而,尽管应用了细致的技术和创新方法,面部的完全功能和美学重建仍然具有挑战性。这是因为要对面部的特定单位进行最佳的重建,就必须同时解决面部的功能和美学角色。
