What to Know About 3D Facial Computer Imaging

Dr. Peter Abramson believes the role of computer imaging in facial plastic surgery is a valuable communication tool that has been well established in his practice. With this imaging process, he is able to facilitate the consultation and surgical planning process with his patients so that they may communicate more effectively using 3-dimensional imaging.

How It Works

The Vectra 3-D imaging system takes multiple digital photographs from different angles, and creates a detailed, proportional three dimensional rendering of the face. Once the image is rendered, any number of different alterations can be simulated. These images will have full rotation, allowing you to view the final results of the surgery from multiple angles.

  • Brow lift
  • Neck lift
  • Lip augmentation
  • Chin and cheek augmentation

Benefits of 3D Facial Imaging for the Patient

3D imaging has many benefits for patients of plastic surgery. With this tool, patients can see their image from all angles and what different types of surgeries would look like.

About Your Consultation

Step #1

When visiting Dr. Peter Abramson, your experience begins with a VECTRA 3-D picture session in Abramson Facial Plastic Surgery. This creates the starting point for your aesthetic consultation.

Step #2

Using special simulation software with your 3-D picture, Dr. Abramson will show the possible results of the aesthetic procedures you may choose to have. You will be able to experiment with different looks until you find the one you want.

Step #3

Once you have decided on the appearance you want, this simulation will provide a basis for your surgical plan. Because you have already seen the potential  result, you can be confident in the outcome of the procedure.
