What is 3-D Breast Imaging?

    HOUSTON, TX, October 27, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It is one thing to want breast augmentation with breast implants to improve your figure, but it's another to actually see what you look like with them. All women who want breast implants may see pictures of women with breasts like they want, and try to visualize what they will look like. Using bags filled with rice, breast implants fitted inside bras, and more might help a little, but are ultimately a poor substitute for many women.

Many plastic surgeons request their breast augmentation patients bring pictures of women with the shape and size of breasts they want to their consultation. The plastic surgeon will also have a gallery of the work he or she has done on past patients. Matching physique and breasts will help the current patient visualize even further what her breasts may look like after breast surgery.
However, going even further, some plastic surgeons offer 3-D breast imaging. This allows the patient to see what they will look like through a digital 3-D imaging program.

Vectra Breast Imaging

The Vectra 3-D Breast Imaging program allows breast implant patients to actually see what breast implants can do for their figure with the touch of a button. Using 3-D scans of your body from multiple angles, the Vectra program will calculate your breast dimensions, analyze the different size of breasts for your physique, and then determine which breast implant size is compatible. You may view several different sizes to see what they will look like.

During and after the 3-D breast imaging, you will discuss breast implant shape and size with your plastic surgeon. They will help you decide on the best possible result. The program will also help you communicate better with your doctor, as they can actually show you on the image what they mean. Knowing how you will look after your breast implant surgery goes a long way in educating you and setting you at east before your surgery date.
