By: Steven Schuster, M.D.

New computer imaging technologies are helping patients who are considering breast augmentation in the greater Boca Raton area enjoy more satisfying results from their procedures.

Today, patients have extensive options with regard to implant material, shape, texture, volume, projection, and surgical method. With so many possible approaches to choose from, it is very important for you and your surgeon to understand each other thoroughly when you are discussing your goals. Imaging technology has been used for years for people considering facial plastic surgery, and now it can help women envision their breast enhancement results as well.

How 3-D Imaging Works:

This new system takes a series of photos of your current breast shape from multiple angles, then translates these images into a three-dimensional model. Using a computer, your Boca Raton plastic surgeon can adjust the model to give you an idea of what your breasts will look like. The computer cannot take into account highly individual factors like skin quality and age, which will also influence results, but it can do a surprisingly effective job of helping a patient to understand how the different options might look in relation to her overall body shape.

Ultimately, the patient still has to trust the surgeon’s insight and surgical skill to create shapely results, but many of my Palm Beach and Boca Raton breast augmentation patients find that the imaging process helps develop more reasonable expectations and set their mind at ease about their results beforehand. In general, this allows for greater patient satisfaction, which always should be the goal.
