Breast Augmentation: Full Visualization

One of the biggest decisions a person has to make on the road to getting breast augmentation is how big they want to go. There are a number of size options available for every body type, and there are few things that can make the decision easier. Bringing in a picture of a friend or a celebrity who has the chest size you want can be helpful, but only if your body types are a general match. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to imagine what that cup size will look like on your own frame.

Until recently, this aspect of breast augmentation was largely a guessing game. Many women still report to this day that their biggest regret following surgery is wishing they had gone a little larger. Some plastic surgeons have begun making use of new technology to cut down or eliminate this second guessing. The technology is called Axis Three, and it gives the patient and doctor a chance to use a body image of the patient to make adjustments in a computer. The patient can then look at these adjustments and make a better decision. Many clinics offer this imaging for free during a consultation, giving the patient more information about whether or not they wish to go ahead with the procedure.

The Axis Three is a remarkable machine which takes a full body scan of the patient. From there, the machine uploads the image to a computer, which can then overlay that image with skin and the correct body type to give the patient and doctor a very realistic computer image to work with. This image can be manipulated by the doctor, letting the patient see what their body would look like with a variety of sizes. There is even the option of using different sizes of implants for each breast, just as there exists that option in the practical application.

Not only can the image be manipulated for size, the doctor can turn the image from side to side, allowing the patient to see the results from both the front and from the profile. This information can prove invaluable when it comes to making a decision about which size would be best for your body type. If you’re thinking of getting breast augmentation done, look for a surgeon who has Axis Three technology. You’ll be far ahead when it comes to making decisions you’ll have to live with for a long time to come.
