Postmortem forensic facial imaging refers to approximating the appearance of an unidentified deceased person to how they might have appeared when alive.

Two postmortem facial imaging techniques, facial approximation—commonly referred to as skull reconstruction—and facial photo restoration, are the most widely used. We also compare 2D images of missing persons to 3D skulls to assist in determining their identity.

Our team of forensic facial imaging experts , skilled in blending traditional illustration techniques with popular photo-editing software programs, creates media-ready facial images that can significantly aid in identification.

Once completed, you can upload the images directly to NamUs, the national, centralized repository and resource center for missing persons and unidentified decedent records.

Facial approximation becomes an even more powerful identification tool when supplemented with DNA phenotyping information.
