I used the Vectra to show my surgeon what I want from my rhinoplasty. I noticed that much of the contours and details could not be achieved by the Vectra. I'm considering using a sketch artist to show the surgeon more specific detail. Will this be helpful. And if so, how do I go about finding an artist in this field? Notice the protrusion I'm trying to eliminate on the left side of the nose. Suggestions are much appreciated! thanks
