Vectra 3D (3-Dimensional) Imaging Software
What is Vectra 3D imaging?
Three-dimensional imaging devices are capable of capturing and constructing a three dimensional model of a patient’s face (facelift / necklift), breast (breast augmentation / mastopexy), nose (rhinoplasty), body (body contouring), and any target area that a patient may wish to change operatively. A virtual 3-dimensional model of the body part of interest allows your surgeon to demonstrate to you any asymmetries, differences in volume, and desired changes that accurately reflect the changes that will happen with your surgery. The system can also help a patient visualize the potential changes that cannot be seen immediately after surgery when there is still swelling, bruising, and further healing required. These devices have been proven to increase patient understanding and help further set appropriate expectations of plastic surgery.
A Short History of Virginia Plastic Surgery
Founding Virginia Plastic Surgery (VPS) has been the honor and pleasure of my professional career. While I have tried to carefully plan most big decisions in my life such as where to attend medical school and where to live, other events such as meeting my wife in Guatemala and becoming an entrepreneur have taken me by surprise. The history of Virginia Plastic Surgery is likewise a combination of careful planning and serendipity (with a lot of hard work sprinkled in).
