See how Dr. John Burns elevates breast surgery consultations with Crisalix 3D simulation.

A more visual, interactive and patient-focused consultation

By integrating Crisalix into his consultation workflow, Dr. Burns has made surgical planning more visual, interactive, and patient focused. The platform helps patients better understand implant choices and expected outcomes, improving communication, reducing uncertainty, and supporting stronger conversion.

What kind of tool did I need?

Patients often come into breast consultations with a specific idea of how they want to look, but translating that idea into a surgical plan can be challenging without a visual reference.

I was looking for a tool that could make consultations more precise and help patients see what we were discussing in a way that felt realistic and specific to their own body.

Before Crislix became part of the consultation

Consultations used to rely more heavily on verbal explanations, before-and-after photos, and implant sizers. While these methods were useful, they did not always give patients the level of clarity they needed.

Patients often struggled to understand how different implant sizes or shapes would actually look on them. This could lead to uncertainty, repeated questions, or hesitation before booking surgery.

The use of Crisalix in my consultations

Today, I use Crisalix directly during the consultation to create 3D simulations based on the patient’s own anatomy. We can review different implant options, compare sizes, and discuss what is realistic and appropriate for their goals.

This makes the consultation much more interactive. Patients are not just listening to an explanation; they are actively seeing and participating in the decision-making process.

Immediate results

Since the introduction of Crisalix into the consultation process, patients leave the consultation with a much clearer idea of what to expect, which helps them feel more comfortable moving forward.

It has also made consultations more efficient, because many questions can be answered visually. From a practice perspective, this creates a smoother workflow and supports higher conversion by reducing uncertainty early in the process.

“It has become essential to modern consultations”

I would say that Crisalix has become an essential part of a modern consultation. It improves communication, builds trust, and helps patients make better-informed decisions.

When patients can see their potential results on their own body, the entire conversation changes. It becomes clearer, more collaborative, and much more effective.
