Dr. Stephen Greenberg Implements Axis Three Portrait 3D Imaging

    BOSTON, MA, October 10, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Axis Three (www.axisthree.com), the leader and pioneer of 3D surgical simulation tools for the cosmetic surgery industry, today announced that Dr. Stephen Greenberg is adopting the Company's Portrait 3D system for his Long Island office.

Axis Three's Portrait 3D captures a 3D image of the patient's body and provides the opportunity to "try on" different breast implant sizes and compare them side by side at any view. The patient works with the surgeon to determine the best match for her. As a result, the patient has greater confidence going into surgery that she knows what she will look like afterwards.

"Patients considering breast augmentation are often nervous and apprehensive about the results," Dr. Greenberg said. "This is because until now, they've never had a tool to show them an accurate picture of how they'll look post-surgery. During the consultation experience, it's important that the patient feel confident in her decision, and in this day of cutting-edge technology, sizers and stuffing bras just aren't enough to build that confidence. Portrait 3D shows the patient what she'll actually look like after surgery, and we're offering it to our patients to ensure they have the most positive experience imaginable."

"We're excited to add Dr. Greenberg to our network of top surgeons that have implemented Portrait 3D in their practices," said Steve Crummey, CEO of Axis Three. "More and more surgeons see our technology as a way to improve patient consultations and help patients make smart decisions about cosmetic procedures like breast augmentation. Dr. Greenberg's approach reflects this appreciation for the patient experience and is a great fit for our technology."

Awarded Best Cosmetic Surgeon on Long Island for 2009 and best Plastic Surgeon on Long Island for three years running, Dr. Greenberg brings 13 years of expertise and a personal and caring approach to all his patients. He performs hundreds of breast procedures each year and is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Greenberg is host of his own radio show, Nip Tuck Saturday Nights and is heard on 98.3 KJOY every Saturday 10pm - midnight.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), more than $10.3 billion was spent on procedures in 2008. There were more than 12 million plastic and cosmetic procedures performed in the United States in 2008 - of which nearly 500,000 were breast-related - and the ASPS is predicting the total number of procedures to reach 55 million by 2015. Axis Three's Portrait 3D is available for face and breast procedures and is currently being used by surgeons in Europe and North America.
