Using CD Movies To Preview Plastic Surgery

WBAL TV:

Have you ever wondered what you might look like after plastic surgery? Some doctors are now showing you such an image using CD-ROM movie form.

Dermatologist Dr. Dwight Scarborough spoke to a patient who was looking at video imaging of what her results following cosmetic surgery.

"Video imaging is a little mini movie of a patient in their current condition and we can morph the image in small steps to become what we anticipate the final results to be," Scarborough said.

Scarborough said that result could take your looks back in time even as much as 10 years. He also said video imaging serves as a way to demonstrate not just results -- but limitations.

"The most important thing for a patient making a decision is to visualize, try to get a good feel for what to expect. And if we can match our work to what they expect, we're going to have a very happy patient," Scarborough said.
