Picture It
Ever wondered what you would look like with a breast augmentation? Want to know how young you can be with a face-lift? At a plastic surgery tradeshow, a number of vendors are offering 'computer morphing' for patients interested in cosmetic surgery, but are still slightly wary of the aftermath. The tool will allow people to visualize what they would look like with a plastic surgery procedure.
Real Self said, "Morphing software has evolved to what are now highly realistic looking "afters" of yourself in 3-D such as a hump-free nose, smaller breasts, or higher cheekbones. Just like an architect can "fly" you through their design for your home addition, the surgeon now has the means to show you a highly realistic looking perspective of your body, post-surgery. Physicians invest in these expensive visualization equipment and software to improve patient-surgeon communication and to increase surgery bookings post-consultation."
Many patients fear the 'after' and are worried about what they would look like post-surgery, surgeons feel these innovations aid alleviating fears. Now this may be the must-have technology of 2009/2010, but some plastic surgeons worry this will give patients unrealistic expectations of the surgery. What do you think? Do you want to know what you'll look like post-plastic?
