Dr. Shervin Naderi uses computer imaging in rhinoplasty consultations to show patients simulated nose shapes with millimeter-level changes. The software ensures the new nose fits their face and sets realistic expectations before surgery.

Computer imaging is a crucial part of the dialogue. Initially, during the first consultation, I'll take a patient's picture with a digital camera and using advanced software, I will show them what the nose should look like, the nose that will fit their face best. I'll make several versions so they can see how a few millimeters of movement to the left or to the right can significantly change the look of the nose. We want to make sure a nose fits each patient's face. It has to fit the eyes, the cheeks, the lips, the chin, and everything else. We don't want to get a nose that looks the same on everybody. Essentially, you don't want to have the patient surprised when the cast comes off at a week. The result that they see on the computer is essentially what they're going to get after it's all said and done.
