Landmarks displacement (in millimeters) in the right and left side of the face at T1 and T2.

Mean and Std Dev (standard deviation) are calculated at T1 and T2. Medium distance (Δµ) between homologous points is considered between T1 and T2 in absolute term. p value is calculated according to Student's t-distribution and it considers the t critical value in one-tail case. Statistically significant differences were considered for p < 0.05 (∗bold). The landmarks used were superciliare (sci) for frowning and knitting brows, alar curvature point (ac) for grimace, and cheilion (ch) for smile and lip purse.
