Computer imaging has become an indispensable tool for rhinoplasty surgery. Toronto residents benefit considerably from the “look ahead” that is possible through digital imaging. There are several companies that design advanced software for surgeons to help patients visualize their results. These programs allow the surgeon to remove a bump, rotate, set back or narrow a nasal tip in a virtual environment. Digital imaging is the ultimate communication tool between you and your surgeon. It allows you to envision your new nose and gives your surgeon an idea of your aesthetic preferences. The imaging is not a guarantee of your result but if done in a realistic fashion is usually very helpful.
