Augmentation-First Approach for Breast Asymmetry Correction Using Crisalix 3D Imaging: A Series of 3 Cases

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Breast asymmetry presents significant psychological and surgical challenges.
• A tailored approach is crucial for optimal symmetry and patient satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate a sequential surgical strategy for breast asymmetry correction.
• To assess the role of Crisalix 3D imaging software in preoperative planning.

Main Methods:

• A sequential approach combining augmentation and reduction techniques was used.
• Crisalix 3D imaging software (version 2) facilitated preoperative planning and implant selection.
• Outcomes were assessed via clinical evaluation, patient satisfaction surveys (Likert scale), and complication monitoring.

Main Results:

• High patient satisfaction (average 4.7/5) and improved breast symmetry were achieved.
• 3D imaging enhanced preoperative decision-making, patient communication, and outcome prediction.
• The sequential method reduced infection risk and provided a stable surgical field.

Conclusions:

• A sequential surgical strategy integrated with 3D imaging offers a patient-centered approach to breast asymmetry.
• This method optimizes outcomes, minimizes complications, and enhances patient satisfaction.
• Advanced imaging tools hold potential for further improving surgical precision in asymmetry correction.
