Does Computer Imaging for Cosmetic Surgery Make a Difference?

At Aesthetic Surgical Images in Omaha, Nebraska we feel that computer imaging is an important component of any cosmetic surgery consultation. We currently utilize both the “Mirror” and “Vectra 3D” imaging systems.

Computer imaging provides extremely important information for both the patient and the plastic surgeon. The surgeon is better able to understand the patient’s goals for a certain procedure. In many cases, the physician can determine whether the patient goals are realistic or obtainable. It may also, in many cases, determine the patient’s preferences.

The patient, on the other hand, is able to see what the surgeon feels he can reasonably deliver. In addition, the patient can visualize how these changes affect surrounding anatomic structures.

We feel that imaging is especially helpful for facial rejuvenation procedures, such as: eyelid surgery, brow lift, and facelifts. It’s also helpful for rhinoplasty and genioplasty. Computer imaging is also used, with success, for body contouring procedures, including: tummy tucks, liposuction, and brachioplasty.
