A white light scanner can more accurately measure body contouring subjects than standard anthropomorphic methods.

A 3-D digital body camera that employs non-intrusive white light phase profilometry and 24 coordinated charge-coupled cameras scans and produces a "point cloud" image of the subject. The result of the two-minute scan process is an accurate three-dimensional body model of the subject, consisting of over 1.2 million surface points. The point cloud is compressed to provide programmable measurement extraction profiles (MEP's) that automatically extracts linear and circumferential measurements. Subjects are scanned and anthropometrically measured pre-operatively, and at 3, 6 and 9 months post-op.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All healthy preoperative body contouring subjects between 18-65 years old are potentially included in this study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnant, nursing,or have a history of epilepsy.
• Individuals under 18 years old;
• Problems reading or understanding spoken instructions;
• Are in jail or in a "locked ward";
• Are a student or an employee of EVMS; or
• Are chemically-dependent.

Healthy, prospective, surgical candidates for body contouring surgery, including: lipoplasty, abdominoplasty, breast reduction, breast augmentation, thigh lift,and brachioplasty are being asked to participate in this research project.
