VECTRA 3D IMAGING
We are proud to offer an exciting new technology that allows our patients to see what they will look like after a cosmetic surgery procedure. The VECTRA 3-D imaging system is an advanced medical photography device that makes 3-D images of your face or body. We are able to adjust the images to show patients what they will look like after their procedure. This helps both the doctor and the patient to make important decisions about your treatment plan.
During a consultation, the VECTRA will be used to show you a detailed surgical plan and will provide you with visual images that will help to answer your questions and set reasonable goals. The software system will take accurate measurements and details of your body and will record them. The doctor is then able to manipulate the images to show you your intended surgical outcome. You will be able to see the images from all angles and you will also be able to see the before and after images, side-by-side.
