Many San Diego cosmetic surgery patients considering various plastic surgery options can do their research right where they are on their mobile devices.

Reuters News reports that Apple’s iPhone now have two plastic surgery applications that offer users information and the opportunity for people to visualize how they would look with a new nose, face lift or other body contouring procedures as provided by their local San Diego cosmetic surgeons.

Last month, the Shafer Plastic Surgery App was launched – created by New York-based Dr. David Shafer, it is aimed at modern patients who are “sophisticated, inquisitive and information seeking,” and it taps into a database of more than 1,000 questions and answers about specific cosmetic surgery procedures including tummy tuck San Diego plastic surgeons explain.

iSurgeon, developed by Miami cosmetic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer, who authored the 2008 book “My Beautiful Mommy” aimed at helping 4-7 year-old children cope with plastic surgery, will soon join the Shafer app.

iSurgeon combines a game mode allowing users to try their hand at surgery with a feature that gives people the chance to instantly modify images of themselves, or their friends,  through lip enhancements, breast augmentations and dozens of cosmetic procedures San Diego patients will discover.  According to developers, iSurgeon serves a dual purpose, providing those interested in cosmetic surgery treatments with a clear visual of what they would look like post-surgery, while also providing a fun entertaining game tool.
