Abstract
Objective evaluation of facial motion has always been a challenging task. Many grading systems have been developed through the years, but they have often been inconsistently reproducible and subjective or they have not been able to take into account the three-dimensional aspect of facial movements. Facial burns cause also a functional impairment apart from the visible deformity of facial characteristics and the anticipated consequences from an aesthetic and psychosocial standpoint. The loss of facial skin and the resulting scar formation after conservative treatment or after skin grafting lead to an altered facial expression both in repose and during facial animation.
