Role of 3D Simulation in breast augmentation

Patient satisfaction is of paramount importance in breast augmentation surgery. One of the most important determinants of the post-operative outcome is the implant volume.[...] With the advent of three-dimensional (3D) simulations, this technique is increasingly being employed in pre-operative counseling sessions to aid the patient in choosing the right implant size for herself. We wished to study the usefulness of 3D simulation as a clinical aid in pre-operative counseling of breast augmentation patients.

SIRA: Relightable Avatars from a Single Image

This paper introduces SIRA, a method that reconstructs human head avatars from a single image with high-fidelity geometry and factorized lights and surface materials. Experiments show that SIRA obtains state-of-the-art results in 3D head reconstruction while at the same time, it successfully disentangles the global illumination, and the diffuse and specular albedos.

Facial Anthropometry and Analysis in Egyptian Women

The purpose of this study was to establish facial soft tissue norms for the Egyptian female population between the ages of 18 and 50, as well as Several age-related changes in facial measurements. Facial measurements were obtained by both direct (caliper-based) and indirect (3D Crisalix software) anthropometric analysis.

H3D-Net: Few-Shot High-Fidelity 3D Head Reconstruction

Introduction to H3D-Net, a hybrid scheme that combines the strengths of model-based and model-free representations by incorporating prior knowledge into neural implicit models for category-specific multi-view reconstruction. This approach is applied to the problem of few-shot full head reconstruction.

Hybrid Implant and Grafted Fat Breast Augmentation: Designing the Pathway to a Future With Breasts Free of Silicone...

Study to validate and summarize expert-based advice to help plastic surgeons better understand the benefits of utilizing fat grafting to reduce implant size in their surgical planning. A 3-dimensional planning system was used to plan the procedure and also to analyze the fat retention and resorption rates.

A comparison of volume and anthropometric breast measurements using the Crisalix and VECTRA XT 3D

Three-dimensional surface imaging (3D-SI) of the breasts enables the measurement of anthropometric distances and breast volume. These measurements may be used in surgical planning and to facilitate clear communication with patients. The aim of this study was to compare measurements using a portable 3D-SI system, Crisalix, with a more established non-mobile camera, the VECTRA XT.
