Computer Imaging
|
Have you considered
Computer Imaging to help you convey your desires to your surgeon?
As you well know, computer images are made from pixels of color and
light and your face from flesh and bone. So, is it unrealistic
to use computer imaging as a tool to express your aesthetic
preferences? We don't think so. Used as a communication
tool, a computer-generated "before and after" photo is an
excellent media to help you and your surgeon determine if you are on
the same page about your desired outcome. |

Not every surgeon offers
computer imaging, more don't than who do so it can be a challenge to locate
a surgeon who provides this service. Not to mention, most surgeons do not
let you take your computer-generated image home with you. Why you
ask? Usually two reasons, one as not to develop an unrealistic expectations
and two, not to use it as a tool to convey your desires to another
surgeon. Some offer imaging for a fee and of course then you can bring
it home with you.
There are also commercial
websites who offer this service to patients for fees ranging from $10. to
$75. Some of these can be found by performing a quick search online.
It is worthy of mention that
although every effort is made to develop a realistic 'before and after'
image, this is not a guarantee of any particular surgical outcome.
Aesthetic results depend upon many factors including surgeon skill,
communication, post-operative protocol and individual healing.
