Michigan Cosmetic Surgeons Use 3-D Imaging for Consultations

Monday, August 2nd, 2010 by copywriter

vectra_3d_2What does the movie Avatar have in common with cosmetic surgery?  According to the Detroit area cosmetic surgeons of Allure Medical Spa, the same 3-D imaging technology used in motion pictures is now useful for simulating cosmetic surgery results during a consultation.

Dr. Brett Kotlus and Dr. Charles Mok of Allure Medical Spa were recently featured on the beauty industry blog discussing the use of Vectra 3-D imaging (from Canfield Imaging Systems) during cosmetic surgery consultations.

“After seeing what my outcome would look like and comparing three different sizes I was completely comfortable picking an implant size; I went into surgery with my mind completely at ease,” says one patient featured in the article.

30 minutes is all that is required for a consultation, says Dr. Kotlus, which includes 3-D imaging and surgery simulation.  Along with the Vectra system, Allure Medical Spa utilizes a variety of other technologies such as Visia Skin Analysis, Lumenis Laser Treatments, and Laser Assisted Liposuction.

Detroit Area Cosmetic Surgeon Helps to Train Surgeons in Mongolia

Sunday, May 9th, 2010 by copywriter

Dr. Brett Kotlus, a cosmetic and oculofacial plastic surgeon practicing in Shelby Township, Michigan, has traveled to different areas of the world for medical missions.  In September, 2008 he spent two weeks in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia training surgeons in eyelid and facial reconstructive surgery.

Surgical procedures included facial bone reconstructions, eyelid reconstructions, and facial tumor resections.  “The physicians in Mongolia are highly motivated to advance the quality of medical care in their country, but their access to resources is limited. One half of Mongolians live in small huts, as part of a nomadic lifestyle,” said Dr. Kotlus.

Health for Humanity organized the mission, a group that “focuses primarily on blindness prevention and development of vision services to address local health issues and challenges.”  With his background in oculofacial plastic surgery, Dr. Kotlus was particularly qualified to assist the group in Mongolia.

“My visit to Mongolia gave me a rich cultural experience and it helped me to appreciate the high quality of medicine we have in the United States.”  The doctor says he plans to develop an online consultation service with the surgeons to assist them further.
