Typical Crisalix consultation, summary
As a summary, what is understood as a full Crisalix consultation implies the following steps:
- If applicable, create a new patient.
See How to add a new patient. - Take three or four photos of the patient according to the region to be simulated.
See Taking and uploading photos to create a 3D model. - Take the specific measurement (interpupillary distance, nipple to nipple, or hip circumference) requested to ensure the geometry calculations.
- Upload the relevant photos following the order described.
- Select Create 3D.
Wait until the 3D model is fully generated. - Make a previous analysis and assessment of the patient's anatomic metrics.
See Pre-assessing the patient before simulating the procedure. - Simulate specific procedures.
See the dedicated topics for each type of simulation.Remember! You can simulate more than one procedure in the same simulation.
- If needed, use the Curves/Line tool to fine-tune the simulated procedure.
See the dedicated topics. - Move and rotate the "after" 3D model to analyse the results of your simulated procedures.
- When the simulation is finished, compare the Before and After 3D models to analyse the result.
See Comparing the Before and After images. - If changes are subtle or difficult to identify by the patient, open the Analysis tool and enable the relevant measurement to show the differences between the before and the after 3D images.
- Share the simulated procedure with the patient.

About the “before” and “after” 3D images
In Crisalix, 3D models are generated for face, breast, and body in order to simulate -on those 3D models- any cosmetic or aesthetic procedure and treatment. For every patient, you can create, online, 3D models for face, breast and body from common 2D photos. These 3D models will become the "before" image of your patient and will always remain intact. A duplicate of this 3D model becomes the "after" image. On it, you can simulate as many treatments as you want. For that, Crisalix provides important tools for an initial assessment and a complete functionality for a fully detailed simulation. Once finished, you can analyse and compare this "after" image with the "before". Every patient can have more than one "after". This will make it easier for them to make a decision on the treatment or surgery to undergo.
For a detailed procedure see Comparing the Before and the After images.
"Dummy" patients
Crisalix conveniently offers some ready-made 3D "dummies" for breast, face and body simulations.
This will allow you to practice as much as needed, improve your skills, or even try new approaches to a common scenario before being really in front of your patient. The more you practice, the less the time you will spend with your patient for the simulation process.
See Adding dummies to get familiar with the simulators to find out more.
