At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, we understand that choosing to undergo cosmetic or reconstructive surgery is a significant and deeply personal decision. With over 60 years of experience, our board-certified plastic surgeons are committed to offering the most advanced tools and technology to ensure the highest level of care and confidence for our patients. That’s why we are proud to offer VECTRA® 3D Imaging, a cutting-edge system that brings your surgical goals into clearer focus—before the procedure even begins.


What is VECTRA® 3D Imaging?

VECTRA is an innovative 3D imaging system developed by Canfield Scientific that captures high-resolution, three-dimensional photographs of your face or body. Using these images, our surgeons can simulate realistic surgical outcomes for a wide range of procedures, allowing you to preview potential results and collaborate on a personalized surgical plan.


How It Works

In a matter of seconds, the VECTRA system creates a 3D model of the treatment area from multiple camera angles. Using specialized software, our surgeons can then adjust the model to demonstrate changes such as:


  • Different sizes and shapes of breast implants


  • Rhinoplasty adjustments


The result? A crystal-clear preview of what you might expect after surgery—customized to your anatomy and goals.


Why Our Patients Love VECTRA

Confidence in Decision-Making: Patients appreciate being able to “see” their potential results before committing to a procedure.


Open Communication: VECTRA enhances doctor-patient communication, ensuring your goals and expectations align perfectly with your surgical plan.


Customized Treatment Planning: Our surgeons can make more accurate and personalized recommendations based on your unique simulation.


Experience Matters

With a combined 60+ years of experience, the board-certified physicians at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery are known for their expert technique, compassionate care, and commitment to innovation. The addition of VECTRA 3D Imaging to our practice continues our tradition of offering patients access to the best tools and resources available in modern plastic surgery.
