Understanding Potential Changes with Computer Imaging
As part of the consultation process Dr Shahidi may use computer imaging software to assist in discussing potential changes to nasal structure.
What to Expect from Computer Imaging
- A digital photograph of your face is taken during the consultation.
- The image is then modified using specialised software to illustrate theoretical changes based on anatomical considerations. These images are for general guidance only.
- These simulations serve as an educational aid to discuss general procedural concepts. They are not indicative of actual results.
Important Note:
Computer-generated images are for illustrative purposes only. They cannot account for individual variables such as skin thickness, tissue healing, or anatomical nuances. The outcome of surgery may differ from the simulation, and the images should not be interpreted as a guarantee or promise of results.
Why Use Computer Imaging?
- Helps illustrate general concepts of nasal structure modification for discussion purposes only
- Supports shared decision-making
- Assists in aligning expectations with clinical possibilities
- Supports the consultation process by helping patients understand general procedural considerations
Dr Shahidi will explain whether your desired changes are likely to be realistic and surgically achievable. This process is part of a broader assessment that includes your medical history, nasal structure, and functional goals.
Considering Rhinoplasty?
Whether you are exploring rhinoplasty for the first time or are considering revision surgery, the first step is a consultation.
Dr Shahidi, Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery MED 0001167352, provides consultations to assess your condition and discuss:
- The clinical nature of your nasal concerns
- Available treatment options and their suitability
- Potential risks, limitations, and outcomes of surgery
- Expected recovery process, tailored to individual circumstances
A second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner is recommended before proceeding with surgery.
