Prediction of the Ideal Implant Size Using 3-Dimensional Healthy Breast Volume

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the ideal implant size could be estimated using 3D breast volume or mastectomy specimen weight, and to compare prediction performances between the two variables.

Global Study on 3D benefits within the aesthetics field

The successful aesthetic plastic surgeon’s practice and reputation rely – more than in other disciplines – upon patient satisfaction. So, what if patients could get a clear answer to her numerous questions and see their change in appearance before it actually happens? This paper presents how Crisalix 3D technology increases patient satisfaction and benefits both patients and surgeons.

Development & Implementation of a Web-Enabled 3D Consultation Tool...

Research and conclusions to develop a computer tool that allows individual reconstruction and simulation of 3-dimensional (3D) soft tissue from ordinary digital photos of breasts; to implement a web-based, worldwide-accessible preoperative surgical planning platform for plastic surgeons; and to validate this tool through a quality control analysis by comparing 3D laser scans of the patients with the 3D reconstructions with this tool from original 2-dimensional (2D) pictures of the same patients.
