The Crisalix latest breast simulator presents a procedure-based user interface, ensuring an intuitive and user-friendly experience. As soon as your 3D is created and accepted, the screen is split in two with two 3D models and some menus and icons:
BEFORE (Left image)
This is the 3D model of your patient before any procedure is simulated. It is not editable.
AFTER (Right image)
This is the 3D model that will display the simulations made. The “After” name changes as soon as you save a simulation with its name.

Top bar
The top bar includes the Crisalix logo, the ID of your patient, and your current Ratings average, together with some generic icons, applicable to any type of simulations (face, breast, body).
Select the left arrow to go back to the patient's profile, or the Crisalix icon to go to your main dashboard.
Analysis: General assessment of your patient's anthropometric measurements, proportions, or specific measurements. Select Assessment to open the dedicated menu and visualize some predefined measurements like triangles or diameters or volumes of specific custom areas. Analysis has proven very useful for planning or comparing the before against the after. See Breast analysis menu for more detail.
Report: Opens the Procedure report of the patient, related to the status of the procedure.
Share: Presents the details of when the Remote access to the patient app was given and its current status.
PDF Report: You can create an A4 PDF file with some very useful information like the images of the simulations created, a detail of the procedures, their price, and some additional comments. Moreover, this PDF file can be fully customized with your own brand and include your contact details. You can learn more in the article How to create a consultation or quotation PDF report
(Open) Simulations: Once created and saved, you can access all the simulations created by you or by your patient. You can select a maximum of 4 3D images and they will be open at the same time on your screen.
Bottom bar
The bottom bar includes some buttons that affect the visualization of both the Before and After 3D images.
Pre-defined views: Select any of the predefined views and both your before and after 3D model will change the visualization perspective accordingly. With Rotate, the 3D models will rotate sideways automatically.
Multisimulation: Create up to four different simulations to quickly visualize potential results. Multisimulation applies to any procedure related to implants (Primary augmentation, Mastopexy/Implants, and Revision). You can define some default multisimulations on the Settings button, on the left menu.
Progressive Transition: When you have simulated some procedures, you can either compare the after 3D model against the before one having both images on the screen or you can see a progressive transition between these two stages. When you select the Transition button, only the after image is presented on the screen. Also, a vertical slider appears. The bottom part corresponds to the before and the bottom part corresponds to the after. Move slightly the slider up or down to see a progressive transition. See How to compare the Before and After using the progressive transition tool.
Full screen: Select to remove the top bar from your current view and give more space to just the simulator and its own functionalities. Select one more time to exit the full-screen mode.
Left bar
The left menu presents some additional functions related to the simulations, but they do not modify the 3D model. Some of them are breast-specific.
Clothes: Open the Clothes tool to find some predefined tops (t-shirts, etc.) so that patients can visualize how their procedure will look with clothes. This tool is specific for breast simulations. See Adding clothes to a breast simulation.
5D animations: Simulating a breast surgery is not only a matter of simulating appearance but also being capable of simulating the movements of that new breast in some real situations like running, jumping... With 5D animations you can simulate all these movements and even apply different intensities to the movements. This tool is specific for breast simulations. See How to add 5D animations to a breast procedure.
VR visualization: With Crisalix you can create an engaging patient experience thanks to its Virtual Reality technology. With it, patients are fully immersed in a Crisalix environment where they can see the result of their breast, body, or face aesthetic surgery or procedure in a seemingly real scenario. Select to obtain the ID and the code needed to set up the communication with the selected VR glasses. You can find more about it in this section.
Record 3D: Select this button to record your current simulator (= before and after 3D images).
Censor nipples: Automatically censor the nipples on both Before and After 3D images.
Export 3D: Select the 3D images you want to export and a ZIP file (that includes 3 files: .mtl, .obj, .jpg) will be saved to your computer or device.
Settings: The Settings menu holds important functions like Custom Simulation, Implant Catalog, and Tooltips, that help you define your own customized simulator settings.
Help: Opens the dedicated Crisalix Knowledge Base.
After 3D window
These functions apply only to the “After 3D”.
Common operating system functions: SAVE, RESET, MAXIMIZE/MINIMIZE (hide/show “before” window), DUPLICATE.
Procedures & Tools menu
The Procedures menu is a compact menu that allows a more intuitive and logical use of the available features. The organization of the elements in this menu is based on the feedback received from doctors.
Each procedure listed in the right menu includes all the necessary tools for seamless simulation. When applicable, the implants catalog can be accessed as well straight from each procedure.
You can hide the right menu with the dedicated double arrow at the top. This is very useful when comparing the Before and After 3D images. See Breast procedures menu .
The tools menu includes some functionalities not specifically related to the simulation of a procedure, but rather to fine-tune or improve the appearance of the simulation performed. These tools include Refinement lines and Scars, among others.
