Computer Imaging

Dr. Shahidi uses a sophisticated computer imaging program after your consultation to show you an estimate of the post operative appearance. This is used as a communication tool to convey the thoughts and desires of the patient.

Dr. Shahidi will advise you as to whether those changes are realistic and achievable.

After the consultation a digital photograph of your face is transferred to a computer screen, and then altered using sophisticated medical software. No computer can take into account the patient’s skin elasticity, bone structure, blood supply and healing ability and therefore it is important to realise that a computer image may not match reality and represents no guarantee of the outcome. The computer generated pictures can enhance doctor and patient communication.
