Q – Why should I have Breast Sculptor in my practice?

Breast Sculptor improves doctor-patient communication by allowing them to view and discuss realistic and personal simulations of breast augmentation procedures;

• using a 3D image of the patient’s own body and 3D models of saline and gel implants.
• eliminating the need for time-consuming and patient-unfriendly processes such as reviewing photographs and stuffing bras.

Surgeons have differentiated their practices by offering Breast Sculptor consultations, and it has brought print and broadcast media attention to surgeons across the country. At the same time, these surgeons have seen a substantial increase in conversion rates for breast augmentation procedures.

Q – Is Breast Sculptor easy to use?

Breast Sculptor software is very easy to use. Its wizard-like interface guides the user through three quick and easy steps to create a realistic outcome.

1. Place landmarks on the patient’s 3D image
2. Select saline or gel implants from your choice of manufacturer
3. Review the outcome with your patient

Breast Sculptor’s convenient viewing tools makes it easy to show your patient the likely outcome from any angle, as well as superimposed over the pre-op image or side-by-side. You may also elect to have Breast Sculptor generate a custom report with pre-op photos, breast measurements and implant selection information.

Q –What are the landmarks used for?

Primarily, the landmarks are used to enable Breast Sculptor to provide key measurements used for implant selection. However, the landmarks are also used to help the software identify where the patient’s chest wall is located for purposes of creating the modeled outcome.

Q – What implant parameters are selectable?

Breast Sculptor provides the ability to select the implant brand, fill type (gel or saline), profile, shell (smooth or textured), volume, and in the case of saline implants the amount of fill added. The manufacture’s catalog number is provided. You may also select different implant parameters for each breast to help address breast asymmetry.

Q – Is breast asymmetry identified?

All patients exhibit some level of asymmetry. In some cases, the level of asymmetry is large enough that it should be addressed during augmentation surgery. Breast Sculptor conveniently provides an indication of asymmetry by showing the difference in volume between the two breasts. The user can then make adjustments to the implant parameters, including volume and profile changes to deal with the asymmetry.

Q – Are you able to complete outcomes with ptotic breasts?

Breast Sculptor includes the ability to model the lifting of the breast in conjunction with an augmentation. The process is done directly after the implants are modeled and before the final outcome is created. This enables the user to provide a comparison to the patient of what the augmentation would look like with or without the lift.

Q – Can I make adjustments to the outcome after it is modeled?

Yes. The software provides the ability for the surgeon to make easy adjustments to ensure the simulation matches what the surgeon considers the expected outcome to be.

Q – Is the quality of the patient’s 3D image good enough to show on my large panel display?

Yes. Canfield’s VECTRA 3D Imaging system provides high resolution images, suitable for displaying on the largest displays. Even the pores on the patient’s skin are displayed.

Q – What is included with Breast Sculptor?

Breast Sculptor software comes as part of a complete turn-key solution suitable for professional Breast Sculptor consultations. This solution includes the VECTRA III High Resolution 3D Capture System, 3D Mirror software, computer, and one day of installation and training.

Q – Can I run Breast Sculptor on the computer in my consultation room?

Yes. Breast Sculptor can be run from a computer other than the one provided with your turn-key system. Of course, the high quality Breast Sculptor images require additional graphic card performance. Contact Canfield Imaging Systems to see if your computer is adequate for running Breast Sculptor. If not, we can make recommendations for computers or upgrades best suited for this purpose.
