Understand how Dr. Dennis Hammond sets a new standard in patient education with Crisalix VR advanced simulation.

Quality through education

By integrating Crisalix, Dr. Hammond has strengthened his educational approach to consultations. The combination of 3D simulation and virtual reality enables deeper patient understanding, improves alignment, and enhances the overall quality of planning and outcomes.

Why did I start with Crisalix?

Everything in my practice has always been centered around ensuring that patients fully understand the procedure, the rationale behind each decision, and the expected outcomes.

I was looking for a way to go beyond explanation and create a true learning experience for patients, one where they could clearly understand complex surgical concepts.

What were consultations like before Crisalix?

One of the ongoing challenges in breast surgery is effectively communicating complex anatomical and surgical concepts.

Even with extensive experience, ensuring true understanding—not just explanation—remained difficult, as patients had to rely heavily on interpretation rather than clear visualization.

How do I use Crisalix?

Crisalix allows me to explain in detail the impact of different surgical techniques, implant choices, and anatomical variations through 3D simulation in a highly structured and educational way.

Virtual reality takes this even further by allowing patients to immerse themselves in their potential results, reaching a level of understanding that was previously unattainable.

It also enables me to educate patients remotely, particularly those traveling from abroad, allowing them to explore simulations and treatment options before arriving.

Results with Crisalix

Patients are not only better informed—they truly understand.

This leads to stronger confidence and significantly higher conversion rates, as patients clearly grasp both the possibilities and limitations of the procedure.

It also improves the quality of consultations, making them more focused, precise, and aligned.

From a medical and educational standpoint, Crisalix has become an essential extension of my practice, enabling me to maintain the highest standards of patient care and surgical planning.

“Crisalix is a powerful educational tool”

It is not just a convenience, but a powerful educational tool.

Today, the combination of simulation and virtual reality is fully embedded in my approach and plays a central role in how I educate, plan, and deliver breast surgery at the highest level.
