A new research study published in the November/December issue of The Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery by Umang Mehta, M.D., of Atherton Plastic Surgery Center suggests that computer imaging prior to rhinoplasty has moderate accuracy — and that the more accurate it is, the more satisfied patients tend to be with their results.
Dr. Persky agrees with the study and has used computer imaging for the past 20 years to give his patients an idea of what their nose may look like after rhinoplasty. Imaging is most accurate in determining the results of the nasal profile, usually after a nasal dorsal hump has been removed. Working with patients, the degree of straightness or curve of the nasal profile can be viewed.
The authors of the study wrote, ” Patient satisfaction correlated highly with pre-operative computer imaging (PCI) accuracy, and the majority of the patients said they found the PCI extremely useful. PCI is a useful exercise, valued by patients during the rhinoplasty consultation.”
