Axis Three - 3-D Simulation of Breast Augmentation Results

Every woman considering breast augmentation has one major concern: choosing the right breast implant size.

Almost every patient asks “Will I be too big or not big enough?” and “What size implant will look balanced for my body?”

Axis Three is the state-of-the-art device that help you determine what implant size will give your body the look you want.

Axis Three takes beautiful three dimensional images of the breasts, and the computer software then calculates the volume of the breast tissue and automatically makes many precise measurements. This enables an unprecedented level of analysis of your breasts, which offers tremendous benefits in planning your surgery.

Dr. Teitelbaum was sought out by the manufacturer to consult with them on the clinical development of the device, and the first machine was placed in his office. They asked him because of his expertise at breast augmentation and experience with clinical trials of breast implants.

Most of Dr. Teitelbaum’s patients ask to look natural and select an implant size that proportionally fills their breasts, without an upper bulge or looking fake. He determines a size that will produce that look by taking measurements of your breasts and calculating what fits.
That is the key to looking natural.

Still, most women want to visualize what that particular size will look like on their body, and the Axis Three is excellent for that. Any size implant can be simulated on your body, so this machine presents you with an opportunity to determine the implant size that creates the proportion on your body that you desire.

Of course, this is a simulation, and it does not give an exact prediction of the outcome. But it does give some sense of the outcome, in a way not matched by any other technology yet available.

Patients have been excited by Axis Three. Many say that it played a big role in reducing their concerns about their implant size, giving them more confidence that they will achieve the result that they want.
