Computer Imaging

Computer Graphic Visualization can be used to help plan cosmetic surgery in advance. Breakthroughs in computer graphics enable us to simulate some of the changes, which may happen with surgery. Digital photographic images of the patient from the front and side can be changed on the computer screen to give the patient an idea of what various surgical procedures may do. The computer is an excellent tool for helping the surgeon and the patient understand what can and cannot be achieved.

Dr. Gallico has developed his own particular computer visualizing system which capitalizes on his training in art school to provide as realistic an understanding of postoperative appearances as possible. Dr. Gallico is on of a few plastic surgeons in Boston offering computer visualization. He has lectured at national meetings on computer graphics, and his contributions to the field have been featured in Boston Magazine, CBS, and NBC.

Computer imaging is best applied for nose, chin, and neck surgery. As a potential patient for these types of surgery you should be sure that your surgeon provides you with a computer projection of the anticipated appearance. You do not want to undergo surgery without some idea of what you will look like afterward.
