Claim One:
1. A computer implemented method for assisting breast augmentation surgery planning, the method comprising the steps of: (a) generating a three dimensional representation of an upper front torso of a woman; (b) analyzing a rate of change of at least one contour present in the three dimensional representation of the upper front torso, wherein the analysis analyzes at least one anatomical feature of the upper front torso; (c) constructing a virtual chest wall from the analysis wherein the virtual chest wall results in a realistic image of the upper front torso of the woman including an existing breast of the woman; and (d) generating from the virtual chest wall a three dimensional image of a resultant upper front torso including a resultant breast of the woman as it would appear after the breast augmentation surgery, thereby assisting breast augmentation surgery planning.
