"I think it's going to be OK, but still, personally, I have an issue with any kind of material that is not natural in the lip because the lip is a mobile part of the face and anything that continuously moves if you put anything that is not alive in it is going to show its effect later on," said Dr. Kamran Khoobehi, a plastic surgeon with LSU Health Sciences Center.

"Until now one of the hardest parts for breast augmentation was the size," said plastic surgeon Kamran Khoobehi."Patients come for consultation and they have a friend or somebody they know, who has had an implant, and they have used a certain size and they want to use the same size without understanding that their anatomy is different than their friend's."

Khoobehi is testing the Axis 3 imaging camera and software.The machine takes a picture of the patient and then the software shows how her specific skin tissue and breast will look at all different sizes.It's more realistic in showing a woman how the nipple and areola of the breast will shift when the size changes, what the shape and cleavage will look like, and it gives all views from the top, bottom and sides.

"With this new machine you can take a picture and immediately show the patient what they are going to look like," he said.

"It makes it more predictable and also during the surgery you set up the patient and make adjustments at that time, but before surgery having this instrument helps us communicate with the patient and show them the differences," Khoobehi said.

The Axis 3 will not be out for about 6 more months, and while Dr. Khoobehi says he is getting positive feedback from patients, other doctors tell us that it works best on women with small breasts.

Khoobehi says he has not had the Axis 3 long enough to compare what the computer said the patient would look like and what she actually did look like after all the swelling went down after surgery.
