At Precision Aesthetics in Johannesburg, we use the VECTRA® 3-D imaging system during consultations to provide our patients with what we believe is the most complete education possible regarding their cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. It also helps to demonstrate to them the results they can expect.
Using photographic images of a patient’s face and body, VECTRA® 3-D Imaging technology can provide a lifelike three-dimensional view of how your results are likely to appear on your own face or body – not an approximation on a model. Shown from multiple angles, VECTRA 3®-D Imaging can be a bit like looking at the new you in a mirror.
This can allow you the opportunity to preview various surgical options and decide on the procedure that may best suit your personal goals. Precision Aesthetics is one of a few clinics to feature VECTRA® 3-D imaging in South Africa.
During the consultation, a patient would have their picture taken using VECTRA®’s highly advanced camera, which can capture a sequence of images simultaneously to allow the VECTRA® software to assimilate an accurate 3-D image of the patient’s body or face. The patient could then view this with their surgeon and may experiment with different surgical choices, such as breast implant size and shape, to see what their final results could look like. A VECTRA® imaging session can give peace of mind to both doctor and patient by checking that they have the same outcome in mind. In many instances, the finalized VECTRA® image can determine the surgeon’s operation plan and could help him to choose a procedure that would give the desired result.
