Before and After: Computer Imaging
"Doctor, how would I look after cosmetic surgery?"
That's the question that every consultation needs to address. I believe that a consultation without computer imaging has limited value. You need to see, on a computer screen, what you will look like "after."
During your consultation's computer imaging session, a standard video camera captures two identical photos of your face or body and freezes them onto a computer screen. Then using special morphing software, the screen on the right will show the predicted results. The "before" and the "after" side-by-side.
While it cannot predict final result with 100% accuracy, computer imaging is unquestionably the best technique available today to help you clearly understand what the doctor can -- or cannot -- do for you. Once you are clear on the procedure suggested, or combination of procedures, computer imaging is a must. That computer screen becomes your personal crystal ball and will graphically demonstrate what you can expect.
You deserve to utilize this latest technology, allowing you to visualize the surgeon's proposal. Computer imaging is a fantastic communication tool that affords a "meeting of the minds." A consultation without it is incomplete. After all, you need to get a sense of the doctor's art form and what he believes he can deliver for you. If you are uncomfortable with what is demonstrated, then perhaps that is a sign that this particular doctor does not have the talent to achieve what you desire. If, on the other hand, the doctor presents a reasonable rendition of what he thinks he can achieve and you are uncomfortable with it, it may also indicate that perhaps you are a bit unrealistic about what can be accomplished.
I advise patients to spend the time in the doctor's office looking at the visual "possibilities" of their cosmetic surgery. By the time you leave the consultation, you should be comfortable that you have clearly communicated your desire to the doctor and he, in turn, has indicated that he understands those desires and has graphically demonstrated the result that he intends to deliver for you.
