The Computer Imaging Process
During your consultation appointment, a series of photographs will be taken by Dr. Schoenfeld or one of his aesthetic professionals. These pictures are then fed into a computer with morphing software, used exclusively for cosmetic surgery. In just a few minutes, the images are adjusted to show potential results. The unique capabilities of this software will allow the images to be further sculpted while you watch.
Dr. Schoenfeld can use morphing software to present different scenarios and potential outcomes. For example, computer imaging can show what you will look like after narrowing the nasal tip or lowering a hump on the nasal bridge. If you are interested in what your chin may look like following chin augmentation, the software allows Dr. Schoenfeld to increase the projection of your chin on profile, or widen the chin and strengthen the jaw line on a frontal view. If you are concerned with sagging neck or jowls, Dr. Schoenfeld can show you the areas of your face that will be addressed with neck lifts, facelifts, or mini facelifts, giving you a good idea of how each area of your face will be affected by the surgical procedure.
Limitations of Computer Imaging

Swelling, healing variations, and scar tissue formation can affect the results. Dr. Schoenfeld will use the computer imaging technique, in combination with multiple Before/After photographs of his recent patients, to paint the most complete image of the potential results possible.
