Read MoreClose your eyes and imagine what you’d like to look like.Perhaps you see a more youthful expression that fits your active zest for life. Maybe you visualize some changes made to your facial features around your nose, chin or ears that you’ve wanted to make for years. And, oh, those wrinkles, just think how it would be to wake up each morning and look into the mirror without them.
Now open your eyes and you can see for yourself. If every picture tells a story, then cosmetic surgeons now have the power to tell a tale about you, a futuristic look at your appearance that is anything but fiction. Thanks to 3D digital imaging, doctors can now show you the possibilities of cosmetic surgery that reflect the true you inside without touching a scalpel or injecting fillers.All this can be accomplished in a matter of minutes during your initial consultation. Simply put, what you see is likely to be what you get. The choice, then, to proceed with further treatment is up to you and your doctor.A younger face, a more refined nose, a lifted brow, contoured eyes and neck – just about any improvement or adjustment to your face can be popped up on a computer screen in the comfort and privacy of your doctor’s office. From there, your cosmetic surgeon can alter images while discussing with you various related treatments.
There are no surprises. You will be able to see images of yourself now and what can be expected after treatment in real-time. Of course, even the best-laid plans can go astray and computer-imaging cannot guarantee results to the fullest extent. It, however, does dramatically reduce the risk of dissatisfaction and leaves you confident and free of anxiety about your decision once you exit your consultation.
One of the more advanced digital imaging techniques used today is VECTRA® 3D,a procedure that takes the guess-work out of cosmetic plastic surgery. Certified specialists at the Williams Center have been taking advantage of VECTRA® 3D technology – the only procedure of its kind in upstate New York — to show patients prospective results from different angles and to make an analysis so both you and your physician are on the same page. It’s as easy as taking a photograph.
After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
