“3D Simulation for Breast Augmentation: Does the software actually work?”

The VECTRA 3D system accurately predicts postoperative breast volumes within a 10% margin of error, though precision decreases with larger breasts (>650cc). Patient-specific factors, such as pregnancy history and preoperative breast characteristics, should guide preoperative consultations. The system enhances patient education, shared decision-making, and participation in care, reinforcing its value in preoperative planning for breast augmentation.
