Zhang Boquan, a plastic surgeon, said that with the 3D image simulation system, various templates of the affected part can be accurately simulated, and the postoperative similarity and satisfaction can be improved.

Dr. Zhang Boquan, a plastic surgeon, said that traditional plastic surgery can only imagine what it looks like after surgery by listening to the doctor's description and looking at other people's plastic templates. However, even if there is a gap between postoperative and expected, it is impossible to come back. This is the most uneasy moment for all plastic surgeons, and it is also a common problem in doctor-patient communication.
But now a 3D image simulation system has been developed, which can help to predict the effect after cosmetic surgery, just like letting consumers try on clothes. After selecting the template, the computer can calculate the volume change of the surgical site, which can greatly reduce the gap after plastic surgery and improve the communication efficiency between doctors and patients.
Taking facial plastic surgery as an example, this is the part that many patients want to move and worry about most. Dr. Zhang Boquan pointed out that many people pursue exquisite three-dimensional facial features, and the 3D face lift now used will be used in conjunction with the image simulation system, which can simulate the face shape required by patients in advance. Some people may not cut bones, but as long as they strengthen their noses and chins, they can have a three-dimensional face.
Although there is simulation technology, Dr. Zhang Boquan reminded that to achieve the simulation effect, it still depends on the skills and experience of doctors, and it is best to find a professional plastic surgeon for evaluation.
