It is difficult to imagine how even subtle changes to the facial contour can have a profound effect on appearance and the advent of 3D-imaging has made a vital difference in the planning process for face lift surgery.
Such imaging can help patients see if the changes they initially prioritise actually result in the effect they desire; as a consequence, the treatment plan may focus on these changes, or alternatively re-direct in order to produce the impact that the patient seeks.
Writing down the points that are of most concern about the appearance provides a useful way of structuring the consultation to target those elements and identify procedures that can achieve such effects.
