First, the Crisalix technology scans the area to be treated. Then, the software digitally manipulates the images based on the planned surgery. This process gives patients a glimpse or “preview” of what they can expect to see after plastic surgery.
Imagine that you are considering breast augmentation, but you need help picking out the size and type of your implants. The Crisalix technology scans your breasts in 2D with an iPad, and then the app helps you to “try on” different brands, shapes and sizes of implants.
Crisalix technology is different from other digital imaging systems in that it comes with a virtual reality headset for prospective patients to use. When you put on the Crisalix virtual reality glasses and look down at your chest, it will appear as though your breasts have been instantly augmented. This process helps eliminate some of the guesswork involved with selecting implants. It can aid in your decision-making process and help you avoid choosing implants that are too large or that don’t look good on your frame.
Another advantage of Crisalix is that the before and after images are digitally available for you to show to your friends or family anytime you want, so you can ask their opinion. Or, you can share your images in Crisalix’s online community and ask fellow users to vote or tell you which image they think is best for you.
