Imaging software: Should plastic surgeons rely on it?
No, according to Dr. Andrew Smith, a leading plastic surgeon in Orange County, California.
He is advising not to put too much emphasis on this technology.
In fact, he doesn’t use it in his practice.
”From talking with my patients, I can develop a clear understanding of their aesthetic goals and also explain what can realistically be accomplished for them with cosmetic surgery,” says Dr. Smith. “A computer-generated picture might be a useful starting point in some cases, but shouldn’t take the place of open doctor-patient communication.”
He also believes imaging for breast and body procedures is still new and has a lot to prove.
