“…Initial studies would comment only on the similarities between simulated images and postoperative results, based on subjective assessments, with encouraging results. 15,37,47,48 In a more recent study by Adelson et al, the accuracy and the predictive value of computer imaging was demonstrated in a quantified manner. 35 Agarwal et al concluded that 32% of their computermorphed images did not predict the postoperative results, indicating that patients must be aware of the limitations of computer imaging.…”

The preoperative consultation in rhinoplasty involves a multitude of actions that are mandatory for the decision-making process: history taking with attention to the symptoms and specific requests of the patient, clinical evaluation of the aesthetics, the functional status of the nose and the patients' motivation for surgery, and acquisition of standardized preoperative photographs. During the last decade, computer imaging or morphing of the preoperative pictures of the nose has become much more common. This part of the consultation allows the surgeon and patient to reach a mutually agreeable set of expectations by demonstrating the planned outcome of rhinoplasty and describing the objectives of surgery. The evolving literature on computer imaging supports that the benefits for both the patients and surgeons seem to outweigh the risks. Indeed, morphing enables the surgeon to precisely explain to the patients the goal of surgery, and to postpone or even cancel surgery in the group of patients that do not appear satisfied with the proposed changes. In addition, patients may feel more prepared for surgery and have a more realistic view of the outcome of the intervention. Presently, computer imaging is progressing from 2D to 3D models, optimizing the surgeons' capacity to perform morphing in the most advantageous manner for both parties. The current review provides a state-of-the art analysis on morphing in rhinoplasty, putting morphing into a historic and relevant perspective in clinical practice.

“…Many studies have examined the benefits of CI use, demonstrating it to be a useful tool to improve communication as well as patient and surgeon satisfaction [3,7,8]. The morphed images have been touted to help initiate discussion with patients about realistic expectations of postoperative outcomes [3,[9][10][11].…”

“…If patients could get an idea as to how much improvement a face-lift will or will not give them, it would help them decide whether they are ready for the operation or should wait until their facial elastosis is severe enough to warrant surgery. To predict the outcome of surgery, imaging [ 1 – 3 , 6 , 7 ] has been helpful, but it is very dependent on how aggressive the surgeon is when morphing and brushing the images.…”

Background Patients considering a facelift (facial rhytidectomy) need some means of predicting their surgical outcomes. This will help them decide whether to proceed with the operation. Methods A total of 50 consecutive patients were asked to examine themselves with a hand-held mirror while lying supine on an examining table to give them a reasonable approximation of their postoperative result. Results The tissues of the face redrape in a very aesthetic manner when lying completely supine. The appearance that the patient sees of himself or herself during the ''supine test'' correlated very well with the actual postop result after rhytidectomy consisting of subcutaneous undermining, SMAS plication, and platysmaplasty. Conclusion This supine test may be useful in helping patients preoperatively predict their facelift outcomes and may serve as a good adjunct to imaging.
