Want Plastic Surgery? No Worries-There's An App for That!

The next time you see somebody dragging their fingers along their iPad or iPhone screens, they might be doing more than resizing their pictures. They could be resizing their body parts.

The makers of the Plastic Surgery Simulator have just launched a program based on the iPad and iPhone mobile platform, allowing users to manipulate their photos to see what they would look like after plastic surgery. Made by Kaeria ERUL, the program builds on the success of the Plastic Surgery Simulator used by customers and physicians when deciding on procedures. Moving to the mobile platform opens new doors for the company and potentially adds to the increasing number of plastic surgery patients, said Benjamin Melki, Kaeria chief executive. “With this app, users can distort their picture to see how they would look with a differently shaped nose, breasts, chin, buttocks, and so on,” he said. “Sometimes, just a slight modification makes a tremendous difference to one’s appearance. It can be shocking to see the before and after photos.”

Users can import photos from their library or memory stick and stretch, grow, shrink and brush body parts. Once finished, the new photos can be cropped and saved and shared via email or Facebook. The new images can also be shared through the company Website Befaft.com, where other users can view, comment and rate. The mobile Plastic Surgery Simulator works on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch devices using the iOS 4.3 operating system and Mac OS 10.6.6 systems. The program is available for $1.99 from the Apple App Store in the Photo and Video category.  As with the original program, users are not guaranteed specific results as it is used to help in the decision-making process. According to the company, 5 percent of Plastic Surgery Simulator users are doctors. Users also receive free access to the Befaft.com network.

This app will vastly improve a patient's confidence going in for surgery as well as help plastic surgeons understand their patient's desired look.  We are excited to launch our Sleek Surgical and MedSpa Plastic Surgery simulator app, which is currently in the works for 2012!
