I'd like to see a picture of me with various sized implants to help me make up my mind. How would I find a doctor that has this software?
Answer: Look for Vectra 3D Imaging. Plastic surgeons who offer Vectra 3D Imaging can show you a variety of options so you can see the exact difference between one implant size and another and how they will look on your body. The dimensions shown aren’t stock images, but are based on your own proportions and measurements for a very accurate idea of how your post-surgery figure will appear. Not only can 3D imaging show the difference between sizes, but the technology is advanced enough that even variances such as implant placement, type of implant (saline or silicone) and other factors can all be tweaked for a very accurate final result. Finally, be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who performs a high number of breast augmentations, as experience is key in ensuring the best possible outcome.

Answer: Computer imaging Selecting a surgeon based on whether or not they do computer imaging is not the right approach, in my opinion. Go to a few surgeons and look at cases they have done which are similar to you and ask what size implants they have. I believe that us much more realistic and practical in choosing implant size.

Answer: How to Find a Plastic Surgeon Who Offers Breast Augmentation Imaging Go to Crisalix.com and put in your location or zip code.I find computer imaging to be a nice educational tool. The images come very close to simulating the final result.Choosing an implant size depends on objective measurements of the width of the breast and degree of skin laxity as well as soft-tissue coverage. This is likely to result in a durable result with a low risk of re-operation. The size determined by this method can then be placed in the computer.It is not recommended to choose a size without careful matching to the invidual patient's anatomy.

Answer: Do plastic surgeons use computer simulations? How would I go about finding one that did? Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. I do not think that you will have a hard time finding well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons who utilize computer imaging in their practices. Personally, I find that it is a very helpful communication tool during the consultation process. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. Sometimes, it is necessary to seek several consultations before you feel comfortable about your choice. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, best not to discuss your goals and/or judge the outcome of the procedure performed based on achieving a specific cup size. Again, the use of computer imaging may be very helpful during the communication process. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. I generally select appropriate breast implant size/profile after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers and viewing the patient's chest in the upright and supine positions. I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. You will find an additional page, devoted to "African American Surgery” on the same website. Best wishes.

Answer: 3D photography is powerful for educating patients and improving surgical outcomes Aesthetic surgical treatments like facelifts, rhinoplasty, and breast augmentation help restore the well being of women. Lack of knowledge about the treatment options, and anticipation of the unknown can be a significant source of confusion, doubt, and anxiety. Patients typically seek information from physicians, friends, and other patients, and often fill in gaps in knowledge by searching the internet. Three-dimensional (3D) photography is a powerful tool, both for educating patients and improving surgical outcomes.
