The Initial Cosmetic Consultation

Computer imaging plays a big role during a facial cosmetic consultation with Peter Abramson, M.D. With computer imaging you can “try on” your new face before having the cosmetic procedure.

The computer has revolutionized cosmetic surgery. As an experienced facial plastic surgeon, with over 30 years of experience, Dr. Peter Abramson has come to rely on computer imaging as an invaluable method for communication with patients to assure the best possible outcome.  Using the special computer imaging system, Dr. Abramson can take your photo and manipulate the image to help you see what plastic surgery can do and not do. This system is useful for teaching patients and allowing for realistic expectations.
