Breast Implant Computer Imaging

Have you been considering breast implants for years but were never sure how your body would look if you opted to undergo this transformation?

If so, breast implant computer imaging might be exactly what you need to put your decision into perspective.

Breast implant computer imaging is used by certain plastic surgeons to give patients a rough idea of how their body might appear after surgery. In most cases the surgeon will take a digital photograph of the patient from the neck to the waist and transfer this photograph to a computer. After the photo is transferred to the computer screen the surgeon will alter it to demonstrate the anticipated post-operative result to their patient.

Breast implant computer imaging can be extremely helpful for patients who are unsure of the size of implant that they are looking for. Some patients will walk into their surgeon's office demanding an unrealistic result but computer imaging can help a surgeon explain to their patient that certain sizes of implants can make the body look unbalance and disproportionate.

Many plastic surgeons can tell which sort of implant will suit a certain patient's body from the moment they walk in the door, but when the surgeon recommends a large B-cup and their patient was hoping for a large D-cup there could be a serious conflict of interest. Most surgeons make a point of recommending the result that they feel will look most natural, but sometimes patients who have a specific result in mind can be hard to convince. This is where computer imaging comes in extremely handy. Using this visual device the surgeon can demonstrate how the appearance of proportionate breasts looks in opposition to extremely large, disproportionate breasts and most of the time this is all it takes to convince patients to opt for the more natural result.

If you are considering having breast implants keep in mind that although computer imaging can give you a rough idea of how your breasts might look after surgery, it is never completely accurate. This technology can never completely forecast the exact result of surgery because each person has a separate skin elasticity, bone structure and ability to heal.

If you are considering breast implants, but just can't fathom which sort of result would be best for you try to locate a plastic surgeon who offers breast implant computer imaging technology.

Virtual plastic surgery can be the most painless way to determine whether or not breast implants are for you.
