How to Simulate an Implant Replacement 

Arbrea Breast provides a seamless way on how to simulate implant replacement procedures, allowing plastic surgeons to remove, replace, and adjust implants while visualizing results in real time. With tools for volume analysis, shape refinement, scar visualization, and before-and-after comparisons, this feature enhances both surgical planning and patient communication.

Viewing the Patient’s Breast Measurements #

  1. Start by opening the patient’s case in Arbrea Breast.
  2. Click on the Measurement Tool to access automatic breast measurements such as base width and projection.
