Sample image of a 3-dimensional simulation. (Left) A preoperative image. (Middle) The desired breast size with a 425-cc implant. (Right) A hybrid simulation with a 360-cc implant. The pop-up screen shows the amount of fat to be grafted per breast and per quadrant that was calculated according to the authors’ algorithm. It is interesting to note that the simulation of the hybrid breast and implant-only breast are quite similar, demonstrating to the patient that the equivalent size breast can be achieved with a smaller implant.
