Research
Dr. Lindsay's research efforts focus on the development of quantitative outcomes in functional rhinoplasty. She is working toward developing a nasal grading system with good intrarater reliability and to correlate nasal anatomy scores with nasal specific quality of life. In addition, she is in process of creating an electronic database of patients with nasal obstruction to facilitate future outcomes research. She also investigates the effects of nasal anatomy on obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.
Dr. Lindsay was awarded the Leslie Bernstein Core grant in 2011 to develop comparative effectiveness tools to quantitatively analyze facial paralysis outcomes. This effort resulted in the advancement of a JavaScript program that can analyze facial movement using standard 2-D photography and has resulted in multiple publications demonstrating quality of life improvement after facial reanimation.
