Arbrea Breast<\/strong><\/a> provides a seamless way on how to simulate implant replacement procedures<\/strong>, 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<\/strong> v\u00e0 patient communication<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Viewing the Patient\u2019s Breast Measurements<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Start by opening the patient\u2019s case in Arbrea Breast<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on the Measurement Tool<\/strong> to access automatic breast measurements such as base width and projection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. \n

      Click again to display the volume of the breast<\/strong> as calculated by Arbrea\u2019s AI.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        While in the Reduction Mode<\/strong> try to simulate removing the existing implant volume.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        Use the sliders to reduce volume precisely on one or both breasts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
