Cosmetic Surgery, Surgeons Use 3D Technology, Tummy Tuck
3D Technology similar to that used in video games and films such as the upcoming Toy Story 3 is being used to simulate plastic surgery on prospective clients.
The Vectra 3-D made by Canfield Imaging Systems Takes an image of the patient and builds a three-dimensional model.
So far, breast augmentation, nose reshaping and chin sculpting have been the most common procedures this technology has proved usefull for. The technology can also be used to try out and demonstrate various cosmetic surgery procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, and gastric band.
This seems like a sensible idea, 5 years time they will all be using them.
It would make me much more comfortable being able to actually see what i would look like.
I wonder how accurate it is though?
