Biodynamic Breast Analysis - getting the look and shape you
want….
Contrary to popular belief the commonest
reason for breast enhancement surgery is not simply an increase in
the size of the breasts but rather an improvement in shape and
symmetry size – in fact 70% of women coming forward for breast
enhancement don’t want to increase their cup size, it’s more about
shape. Often it’s about restoring breast shape to what it was
before children.
Every woman is different, and every woman has
a choice – this is something we at Vive Cosmetics respect and
encourage. Additionally, confidence in the surgeon is a
significant factor for women during the consultation and treatment
processes.
One of the hardest aspects of the consultation
is for the surgeon to show to the patient what she will look like
after surgery. To help with implant selection and to help
demonstrate the expected result, Allergan, a leading global
health care company and manufacturer of a range of breast implants,
have developed and introduced a new consulting tool the ‘BioDynamic
Breast Analysis’ system. This system has been provided by Allergan
to a select small number of cosmetic breast surgeons in the
UK. We are delighted that Peter Hodgkinson, Consultant
Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon and Vive Cosmetics in Newcastle have
been chosen to provide this new service.
Using the ‘BioDynamic Breast Analysis’ system
Mr Hodgkinson and the patient work together to input the patient’s
individual measurements, discuss the patient’s needs, desires and
expectations, and the system then produces a simulation of the
potential result. Having determined the specific implant to
be used the patient can then use the BioDynamic kit to see what the
potential outcome would be, literally allowing the patient to try
her new shape to see how it looks and feels. Alternatives can be
tried until everyone is happy. With this system, and the wide
range of implants available from Allergan, we expect to achieve the
optimum patient satisfaction.
Peter Hodgkinson says “Most patients have
always been more than happy with the outcome of their
surgery. A very few patients come to me having had surgery
who are unhappy and some of this relates to dissatisfaction with
implant selection. The advantage of the BioDynamic System is
that the patient as well as the surgeon can have a real-life idea
of what the end result will be like. A BioDynamic Assessment
is rapidly becoming routine as part of the preoperative
assessment. We are finding that the predicted result matches
very closely the final result. To have this system in
Newcastle is a major plus for women in the North-East who are now
able to benefit from the most up-to-date surgical techniques and
assessments available”.
