    "abstract": "This paper introduces a new Finite Element biomechanical model of the human\nface, which has been developed to be integrated into a simulator for plastic\nand maxillo-facial surgery. The idea is to be able to predict, from an\naesthetic and functional point of view, the deformations of a patient face,\nresulting from repositioning of the maxillary and mandibular bone structures.\nThis work will complete the simulator for bone-repositioning diagnosis that has\nbeen developed by the laboratory. After a description of our research project\ncontext, each step of the modeling is precisely described: the continuous and\nelastic structure of the skin tissues, the orthotropic muscular fibers and\ntheir insertions points, and the functional model of force generation. First\nresults of face deformations due to muscles activations are presented. They are\nqualitatively compared to the functional studies provided by the literature on\nface muscles roles and actions.",
