Abstract
Virtual surgery systems, methods, and apparatuses that provide for the prediction, evaluation, and validation of various cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures. The virtual surgery systems, methods, and apparatuses utilize a scanner, measurement software, queries to a postoperative patient scan catalog, conversion of a preoperative image to a Virtual Reality Modeling Language (3-D) image, grafting and scaling of chosen postoperative surgery candidates, conversion from the converted 3-D image to a scanner readable format, and measuring the forecasted 3-D image.
