Heat Map of 3D Facial Images for Gender-Affirming Surgery

Caption

The image shows the average female facial shape colored according to the difference between the average male and female facial shapes. This visualization only shows shape differences, not size differences, by first scaling the faces to the overall mean centroid size. Additional shape visualizations with vector and magnitude sex differences for each of the subregions and curves are included as Supplementary Data.
