Computor imaging for the nose.

I sincerely doubt that any board certifed surgeon will provide you with computor imaging on the net. In order to perform imaging of your nose it is essential to obtain correctly lighted and head positioned photographs. The internet is a good place to start your research for a nose surgery however, it can never replace a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon. It is essential that the surgeon examine both the external and internal... more

Imaging of Nose

Hello Anon2027, Go to my website and click on Surgery Morph Tool and upload your photos. You will be able to morph them yourself. Have fun, but get an idea of what you'd like to see. Then go to a reputable surgeon and do it again and discuss what is really possible. Best of luck!

Technology

Most surgeons feel that morphing images is not a substitute for a good consultation. Also the implied results are not always achievable leading to problems.

I would advise you to seek a consultation with a board certified specialist who can further assist you in obtaining the results you desire. Computer morphing is usually available during your consultation. Depending on what your goals are, I think you would benefit from a personalized consultation.

Computer Imaging

Computer imaging usually requires high quality photographs from multiple standard views and a uniform monochrome background to be done properly. These are usually available in the office of your plastic surgeon so that the photographs are taken early during your initial visit and the imaging is reviewed later in the consultation process the same day or during a second visit. The images are only simulations and are not usually guaranteed as a precise prediction of the... more

Can Computer Imaging Be Done For My Nose?

Computer imaging can always be done but IMHO, it creates an unrealistic view of results because the software manipulates the image in ways a Rhinoplasty could never accomplish. I have performed Rhinoplasty for well over 20 years and I do not use imaging but rather have patients see real before and after examples of Rhinoplasty. Do not settle for anything less. Remember the computer is not doing the Rhinoplasty, the Rhinoplasty Surgeon is, so be sure to see examples of what... more

3D rendering for rhinoplasty patients

In the past, high quality photographs have been used to give patients a hand-drawn sketch of the goals for individual patients. However, conceptually, this was difficult for some patients to grasp. Recently, there has been a growing trend using 3D imaging to manipulate images digitally to improve both surgeon and patient understanding and visualization of rhinoplasty goals. I use such a device (3dMD) in my practice to delineate all types of craniofacial problems, including... more
