3D Surgical Planning with Vectra M3
Imagining what your facelift or rhinoplasty results will look like can be challenging. The Vectra 3D imaging system removes some of that uncertainty, modeling the various changes we can make to your face or nose during surgery.
How We Use Vectra To Plan Your Surgery
Vectra XT and VectraM3, made by Canfield Scientific, use multiple cameras to simultaneously take a number of photographs of your face from different points of view. Specialized Sculptor 3D Software then builds an extremely accurate three-dimensional virtual model of your face. With the Sculptor software, Dr. Bogdan or Dr. Cason can alter the volumes and dimensions of your face to simulate actual surgical results. You can view the changes from any angle and compare them to the untouched original image in real time.
“This system is the best tool available for pre-operative planning. I can sit down with my patients and discuss our surgical goals to make sure we have the same vision. The saying that a picture is worth 1000 words definitely applies to the Vectra — there is no other way for a patient and I to accurately communicate our ideas besides viewing it live in 3D.”
Benefits of Vectra
Vectra offers several advantages, enhancing your discussion with your plastic surgeon. Here are just a few benefits of using Vectra during your facelift or rhinoplasty consultation:
• Detailed visualization: With Vectra, we create a precise 3D model of your face, giving you the chance to see potential results from a variety of angles.
• Improved communication: As you and Dr. Bogdan or Dr. Cason discuss the changes you want to make, you can see the possibilities in real time. This reduces misunderstandings about your desired outcomes and potential results.
• Individualized planning: Our surgeons can adjust the 3D model to help you explore different options and refine your goals, including how much to reduce a bulbous nose.
• Boosted confidence: It’s easier to feel more confident about your surgery after seeing your potential results. Studies show that people who’ve had 3D imaging are more reassured about having their surgeries and tend to be more satisfied.
• Comprehensive surgical planning: Vectra enables precise measurement and a detailed analysis of your face. This is invaluable for complex surgeries like revision rhinoplasty.
