Introduction
Patients considering cosmetic surgeries, like breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and chin augmentation, often experience a combination of excitement, anticipation, and worry. While the prospect of transforming your body is certainly exciting, you also have a palpable fear of undesired results that don’t match up to your expectations. Some patients realize they want some changes but can’t figure out exactly what those changes involve.
You might have several concerns going into your cosmetic surgery consultation. What if you don’t like the results? What if you regret the procedure? What if the reality doesn’t meet the image in your head? Even the best surgeons have trouble dispelling these fears — no matter how talented the surgeon might be, they can’t make you see the results before the surgery.
At Aesthetic MdR, we leverage cutting-edge augmented reality technologies to effectively dispel those fears. We use a radical technology called Vectra 3D Imaging to show you the final results of your procedure during the consultation. You don’t have to imagine what you’ll look like, not anymore; you can see it for yourself to decide if you really want to proceed with the surgery.
Vectra 3D Imaging is a cutting-edge augmented reality technology developed by Canfield Imaging Systems, a division of Canfield Scientific, one of the world’s most reputable providers of clinical imaging systems. Vectra 3D essentially allows you to see the results of your surgical procedure and, with Dr. Macias, adjust the treatment details to find the ideal aesthetic results. Vectra 3D saves you from guesswork.
If you’re considering breast augmentation, you don’t have to guess what cup size or style you’d prefer. Instead, the surgeon can input the details on the Vectra 3D software, make some tweaks, and let you see the results for yourself. This application allows you to “try on” different implant sizes or procedure styles—much like trying out different clothes—until you find a cosmetic appearance you love.
Step 1: The Vectra 3D Photography Session
Vectra 3D cameras are used to capture three-dimensional photographs of your treatment areas from multiple angles in the privacy of our office. These 3D pictures are then used to create a virtual model of your body.
Step 2: The Vectra 3D Software Session
The images captured by the cameras are sent into the Vectra 3D Sculptor software for processing. The software displays a virtual model of your treatment areas on the computer monitor. The images can be rotated and manipulated on the computer, allowing Dr. Macias to assess the treatment areas carefully.
The Vectra 3D software includes various simulation tools that allow the surgeon to modify the treatment areas. You’ll go through the images with your surgeon, describing your cosmetic goals. The surgeon will input the details to generate results based on different cosmetic surgery styles and goals. You can use this to try different breast sizes, nose shapes, etc. until you find the perfect solution.
Step 3: The Surgical Plan
Once you’ve found results that you’re happy with, the simulation will serve as a blueprint for the surgeon. Dr. Macias will describe the ideal treatment options to help you achieve the goals visualized on the software. Having seen the final results, you can opt for the procedure confident about the outcome.
Start your journey with trusted, personalized care.
The Vectra 3D Imaging technique can be used for most cosmetic procedures and treatments, including rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, chin augmentation, etc. If you’re considering cosmetic surgery but concerned about the results or uncertain about the changes you want, please schedule your 3D simulation with Dr. Macias to achieve complete clarity.
