VECTRA X3 3D Imaging System now available at Staten Island Special Surgery

Probably most known for the Staten Island Ferry, New York City's fifth and often "Forgotten Borough" does not possess a reputation for being a leading destination for cutting-edge medical procedures. That is, until now. This month, prominent Manhattan plastic surgeon, Dr. Andrew Klapper, brings his more than ten years of experience and revolutionary surgical techniques, along with the most advanced 3D imaging technology available to his new Staten Island medical practice, Staten Island Special Surgery.

“I constantly search for the newest technologies and purposely keep medicine modern in my Manhattan and now Staten Island practice”

A Diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a graduate and Chief Resident of the most prestigious plastic surgery program in the country, the NYU Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, Dr. Klapper is highly-regarded as an advocate of innovative aesthetic plastic surgery and has developed several widely used surgical instruments, including the Klapper Breast Scissors. Dr. Klapper brings his extensive knowledge and warm bedside manner to his Staten Island patients along with the cutting-edge "VECTRA X3" 3D Imaging System. Produced by Canfield Scientific, the "VECTRA X3" 3D Imaging System revolutionizes plastic surgery as we know it, providing patients with the opportunity to fully see their "before" and "after" - in 3D full-color - before undergoing surgery. Staten Island Special Surgery is one of only 50 surgical centers worldwide to own the "VECTRA X3" and is the only center on Staten Island or its environs.

"I constantly search for the newest technologies and purposely keep medicine modern in my Manhattan and now Staten Island practice," says Dr. Klapper. "Providing my patients with the most realistic possible expectations of plastic surgery as well as with the most advanced treatments available is of the upmost importance to me." This ground-breaking system allows Dr. Klapper and his patients to create the person they want to be together. A sampling of the VECTRA X3's amazing capabilities include: showing breast augmentation results by cup size and the exact CC volume of an implant; eliminating facial issues such as volume loss, laugh lines and wrinkles; and previewing the results after liposuction as well as lip augmentation, nose augmentation and neck lift, all in a moving 3D image at all angles. "The "VECTRA X3" has become an essential part of my consultation and it is available to my patients at no extra cost," says Dr. Klapper. "It essentially allows me to perform virtual surgery on the patient while they are awake and participating in the sculpting their new self."
