Dr. Robert Whitfield explains how 3D imaging lets surgeons and patients preview breast augmentation results before surgery. The software uses actual implant data to show different sizes and shapes, helping avoid implants that are too large or poorly positioned. Better computing is making these tools easier for surgeons to offer.
You can put them into a program or take three dimensional images of them and then using the implant information from each vendor, create a 3D image of their expectation. Any visual image helps me. I'm a visual person. So if you show me an idea of what you want to appear like, and then I'll make what I think is a reasonable assessment in terms of measurements. Look at the devices that could fit on someone's chest, because you don't want to put devices that necessarily are larger or would end up in someone's armpit area or crowd their chest to make them look unnatural. The way technology and software advancements happen in the world, the technology is much better, as with anything with computing. So now it's going to become, hopefully simpler for each plastic surgeon to provide a service like this.
