3D Imaging Helps Patients Decide if Liposuction is for Them

Many men and women think about having cosmetic surgeries like liposuction or breast augmentation for the ladies, but may not be ready to take the plunge. When they consider cost there may be some uncertainty that they will get the results they desire.

Surgeons can show a person before and after photos of patient who has already had a procedure, but that may not be enough for some patients. They need an idea of how they will look after the procedure. For the reluctant patient, some cosmetic surgeons can offer a three dimensional image of how liposuction will improve their overall appearance.

Vectra 3D imaging gives a person the opportunity to see how they will look after they have recovered from liposuction. During a consultation with the plastic surgeon, Vectra 3D can be utilized to take images of the patient and the areas of their body where they want fat removed. With software the surgeon can make changes to the image according to the patient’s desires.

This three-dimensional imaging will give a patient the idea of how they will look after the procedure. A cosmetic surgeon can tweak the image and get a better idea of the patient’s needs and helps them get a clearer idea of how which areas of the body will benefit the most from liposuction.

When setting up a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon, the patient can ask if this service is available to help them decide if liposuction is right for them.
