3D Rhinoplasty Simulation: Vectra M3 3D Imaging System

The main advantage of this system is that it significantly reduces the risk of any misunderstanding between doctor and patient.

• It is easier for patients to explain what they want by referring to the screen and showing the surgeon exactly the changes they wish to be made.
• The surgeon then suggests possible solutions and they work together on the screen in order to achieve the desired result. This stress-free procedure gives patients an accurate image of their future appearance.

Thanks to this new technology, any concerns about the final result are greatly diminished. The misunderstandings of the past are replaced by the certainty of the image.

Patients confirm that the combination of Dr. Mireas as a surgeon and the use of the simulator enabled them to proceed with the operation in full confidence regarding the final aesthetic and functional results.

The Vectra 3D Imaging System as well as the Mirror® and Face Sculptor® software have been developed by Canfield Scientific, a global pioneer in medical and surgical imaging systems.

• First, a 3D image of the patient’s face is captured, which takes less than a minute.
• Then, using the special software, a 3D simulation of the final result is shown on the screen.
• Other operations that can be simulated are mentoplasty, chin augmentation, profiloplasty, liposuction etc.

During the simulation the surgeon can show the patient the result of two angles at the same time, a before-and-after comparison, the result of two or more operations in combination, as well as much more, depending on the case.

There are many options for how to show the 3D image during the simulation procedure:

The first visit and consultation lasts 1 hour and includes:

• A clinical examination
• Endoscopy and video recording of the inside of the nose
• A 3D simulation of the final result followed by a discussion with Dr. Mireas

A complete consultation of 1 hour is usually necessary. A 10 or 15-minute visit is not enough to cover all the aspects of such a complicated procedure.

The most advanced rhinoplasty technology uses ultrasound vibrations. The piezo system, also known as ultrasonic or diamond rhinoplasty system, launched globally in 2014 and was brought to Greece in 2017 by Dr. Mireas, a leading practitioner who also trains other surgeons in the use of the new technology.

Diamond rhinoplasty does not use hammers, chisels and rasps but employs rhinosculpture and ultrasound technology.

Thanks to Canfield Scientific’s M3 3D Imaging System you will not only be able to explain to the surgeon what bothers you about your nose and what you would like to change, but you will also be able to see the changes you want and your various options in a 3D image on screen.

An image alone is not enough. The experience of the surgeon who will guide you is fundamental in advising you properly and performing the operation to create an attractive, functional nose.

The image that you and your surgeon create together on the screen will be extremely close to the result of your surgery.
