At the POLYTECH BRIGHT TALENTS 2023 in Kos, Dr. Maximilian Otte shared groundbreaking results on how the use of 3D simulation in online consultations has significantly improved conversion rates in his breast surgery practice.
The Impact of 3D Simulation on Conversion Rates
Dr. Otte’s innovative approach incorporates Arbrea Suite to facilitate virtual consultations with 3D and AR simulations. This technology has been pivotal in transforming the consultation process, offering patients a clear visualization of their potential surgical outcomes from the very first interaction.
Conversion Rate Success
Dr. Otte presented compelling data, highlighting that out of 20 online consultations utilizing 3D simulation, he achieved an impressive conversion rate of 80%. This statistic underscores the effectiveness of 3D simulation in providing patients with confidence and clarity, leading to higher commitment levels to proceed with surgery.
- 80% Conversion Rate
- 60% Cases with Just One Consultation (never more than two consultations)
- Only 20% Of Cases He Order 2 Different Sizes Of Implants
These insights demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of using 3D simulation in reducing the need for multiple consultations and increasing the likelihood of patients proceeding with surgery after the initial consultation.
Case Study: From Consultation to Surgery
One notable case discussed was that of a patient named Lea, who had her initial consultation via FaceTime. Using Arbrea’s 3D simulation, Dr. Otte could accurately measure key parameters such as nipple distance and breast width. This precise measurement allowed for an informed discussion about implant options, enabling Lea to visualize different sizes and shapes on her own body before making a decision.
Why 3D Simulation Works
- Enhanced Visualization: Patients can see realistic projections of their post-surgery appearance, reducing uncertainty and anxiety.
- Accurate Measurements: The technology ensures precise preoperative planning, which translates to better surgical outcomes.
- Informed Decision-Making: By visualizing different implant sizes and shapes, patients can make more informed choices, leading to higher satisfaction rates.
The Future of Online Consultations
Dr. Otte’s success with 3D simulations marks a significant advancement in the field of breast surgery. The ability to conduct thorough and precise consultations online not only broadens access to expert care but also streamlines the preoperative process.
Conclusion
Dr. Maximilian Otte’s presentation at POLYTECH BRIGHT TALENTS 2023 highlighted the transformative impact of 3D simulation in breast surgery consultations. With an 80% conversion rate from online consultations to surgery, it’s clear that this technology is a game-changer, providing patients with the confidence and clarity needed to proceed with their desired procedures.
