Question

I have had nose surgery around 18 years ago, but the projection of my nose is still too large for my face.

I live in Aberdeen, Scotland, could we do the 3d imaging from here?

Answer

The 3-D imaging requires a capture device, and apart from that the consultation is the time when I discuss the type of changes that you may be interested in achieving.

Interaction is key to determining the target for treatment, because the logic of the imaging is actually for you to develop a treatment plan that you find suitable.

A consultation would therefore be necessary for this assessment, and you also need to bear in mind that the results of surgery are never identical to the imaging.
