Your Virtual Nose
When deciding to undergo rhinoplasty, many feel hesitant about how their face will look after surgery. The anticipated result may not always translate into their post-surgery self. New technology has been created to help ease this fear. A program called FaceTouchUp has been developed to provide patients with a more accurate "after photo" in the comfort of their own home.
"To help give plastic surgery candidates an idea of what to expect, we've created a web-based virtual plastic surgery application that can be easily accessed from a personal computer. It's an especially helpful tool for people who want access to the advanced technology that doctors use without having to incur any expense, as well as those who want to maintain their privacy while still considering whether cosmetic surgery is the right option for them" says the founder of FaceTouchUp.
The website allows you to upload a photo of your face and test different nose shapes. All the patient has to do is print the picture and take it to their plastic surgeon as a reference. Doctors have been using this technology for years, but it has not been easily available to patients from home until now. The goal is to have patients do more research on their desired features prior to their consultation. This eases patient worries and gives the plastic surgeon a better understanding of patient desires.
