Computer simulation of the result
With high-definition digital photography and simulation software, a simulation can be made at the first consultation to get a clear idea of the change the patient wants.
Simulation during the consultation
We carry out software simulation for every patient who is going to have rhinoplasty. After the photographs are taken (front, right and left profile, smiling profile, right and left three-quarter, base and top view), the images are loaded into the simulation software.
Doctor and patient can thus look at the same image, try out possible changes to the shape of the nose and finally agree on a common goal for the desired result. This minimises the chance of unexpected surprises due to misunderstandings and makes mutual understanding easier.
A feasible result, not an ideal one
It is important for the surgeon to simulate a feasible result and not an unattainable ideal. If, for example, a patient with a very projected nose and very thick skin asks for a large reduction in the size of their nose and this is not surgically possible, we don't simulate an exaggerated reduction, but the one we could achieve with surgery.
The simulation is only a target: where we are heading, what change we are looking for.
The final result will be somewhat different from the simulation, mostly in minor details. The simulated photo tends to look somewhat “artificial”; the actual result, on the other hand, is very natural. About 6 months after surgery, we photograph the patient and see how close we came to the goal we set.
