![]() My practice may be located in Edinburg/McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley, but I pride myself in providing the most current technology for my patients. I believe the Vectra system reflects the fact that my practice is very comfortable using the latest technology to enhance our patients’ experiences. My own experience shows that it is fairly accurate, and patients seem to be satisfied with the results. ![]() However, after I see the photos, I tell my patients to put them down for a second, because the Vectra system is going to allow them to see how they are going to look following their procedure.Īlthough Vectra is a simulation and not an implied guarantee, many studies have shown that the imaging is accurate. This allows me to get a better idea of what my patients are looking for. I still encourage my patients to bring photos of celebrities or patients from the internet. What About Bringing Photos of Other People from the Internet? With a click of a button, my patients can see the results of a procedure and decide whether the image meets their expectations. Vectra takes the uncertainty out of my explanation. I believe it is my responsibility to explain to my patients what kind of results I can achieve with surgery. Vectra 3D imaging has now become a very important part of my consultation process. There is no extra cost for my patients to use the Vectra system during a consultation. I seem to be using it more and more to help set the stage before proceeding with difficult revisional surgery of the breast, body or nose. Often times, I call on the Vectra system to help me evaluate these difficult situations. My practice prides itself in trying to help patients who have had difficult experiences in Mexico or during cosmetic surgery procedures elsewhere. But more importantly, it lets me communicate the possibilities of results with the different types of surgeries I perform. The Vectra system allows me to draw on the images. My consult rooms are designed with a computer screen so that I can review the Vectra images with my patients. At this time, the Vectra system can evaluate different breast implant sizes, breast lifts, tummy tucks, liposuction and rhinoplasty (nose surgeries). Vectra’s capabilities seem to expand yearly. What Areas Can the Vectra System Evaluate? After the images are captured, I review the images during a private consultation. The Vectra imaging is included in the cost of the consultation. During a consultation, our patients are given the option to undergo the imaging process. It is a computer generated 3D image of a patient’s body or face. We have offered this service since 2010 and have used it to help several thousand patients during the consultation process. The first question my patients ask when they come to my office for a consultation is, “What am I going to look like after my procedure?” At the Rios Center for Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer Vectra 3D imaging so that our patients can see what they might look like after their procedure. ![]()
