Computer Imaging

Computer Imaging has removed the doubt, fear and mystery that previously hindered surgeons and patients from being able to make good choices that led to realistic outcomes.  Using sophisticated technology and a digital photo of you, we can analyze actual pretreatment conditions, show you visual images of what is surgically and/or non-surgically achievable and design a program to effectively achieve your goals.  This employs you in the process – from start to finish. This is very important, because even though Dr. Cole knows accurately what he can do - the picture in your mind may be totally different.  Computer Imaging is an important part of your personal consult.

BENEFITS OF COMPUTER IMAGING:

• Computer Imaging shows you a realistic post-surgery/non-surgery look
• Computer Imaging simulates the effects of a wide range of surgical procedures
• Computer Imaging simulates outcomes of non-surgical treatments
• Computer Imaging enables you & Dr. Cole to tailor your surgery/treatment plan
• Computer Imaging enhances communication between you & Dr. Cole
• Computer Imaging enables you to express your goals more clearly
• Computer Imaging effectively educates & reduces patient anxiety
• Computer Imaging employs the click of a mouse & erases lines, wrinkles, sagging skin – a nose hump – raises fallen eyebrows & sunken cheeks – performs a facelift or necklift – blends skin tones – softens skin –all right before your eyes!

COMPUTER IMAGING OVERVIEW:
Your picture is taken with a digital camera and then loaded into the computer.  With the software and a high resolution monitor, your image will be altered on the screen to give you a look at the possibilities from one procedure or a combination of procedures.  The visual is not 3-dimensional like your nose – but projects very realistic outcomes. 

EXAMPLES:

• EYES – upper/lower eyelid (tuck/blepharoplasty) – the computer can show your image without dark circles or bags, crow’s feet or upper lid excess skin

• FACE – in your mirror you see unwanted effects of time & gravity.  On our computer screen we turn back the clock to show you the effects of a Face Lift and Cheek Augmentation or a similar combination.

• JOWLS & SAGGING JAW & NECK – We can give you a realistic glimpse of how you would look after having your chin and neck area rejuvenated.

• FACIAL SKIN RESURFACING - Seeing your face without lines, wrinkles & folds is amazing!  We virtually erase facial aging allowing you to see the effects of dermabrasion and laser treatments.

Computer Imaging is an essential tool that we use to educate, to encourage open, honest discussion and to enhance our ability in customizing the treatment plan that is best for you.  Computer Imaging helps reduce fears – and creates realistic expectations.
