Thanks for the question. I have found computer imaging to be a useful addition to the communication tools that we already use when it comes to preoperative communication of patients' goals. This preoperative communication is one of the important keys to success when it comes to breast augmentation surgery. Although helpful, the technology is not necessarily perfect when it comes to predicting what size/profile of breast implants will best achieve a patient's goals. Again, in my opinion it is best use as a communication tool only and not as a “guarantee” of outcomes to be expected. You may find the attached link, describing this technology, helpful to you.
Hi. Computer imaging is pretty good at giving you a 3D reconstruction of what you look like now. Unfortunately, it is currently only about 85-90% accurate at predicting how you will look with implants. So take its "guess" with a grain of salt!Mentor's Volume Sizing System is also very helpful to view the predicted shape.
