As virtual reality headsets have become popular in the last few years, a huge variety of uses beyond gaming has come into fruition which in many cases have been surprising, sexy, and scientific. One of such novel uses for virtual reality is being developed around breast augmentation procedures (more commonly known as boob jobs). The busty babe Jessica from Love Island has been one of the first ladies to undergo a virtual reality boob job.

You are probably asking how does this work, and what exactly is a virtual reality boob job?
I will explain, but first, let me tell you about Jessica. She’s a reality TV star on the show Love Island. This UK-based show has sexy couples squaring off in typical reality show eliminate challenges. Anyways, Jessica is a huge hit on the show for obvious reasons. She’s 24 years old and has double-F babylons that are causing some problems.
Getting ginormous implants as a teenager has resulted in some gravitational disturbances that have left Jessica unhappy with the state of her breastesses. In other words, she thinks they have become lopsided and saggy. With the state of her breasts in mind, she turned to a virtual reality boob job for help.

Before Love Island started filming, Jessica went to Knightsbridge, London to get the virtual procedure. With the help of scanners and a VR headset, the virtual reality boob job will let her see what a future non-virtual boob job will look like on her. At least this is what I was thinking… Various news outlets have reported on this story but very few have gone into the details as to what kind of technology is being used.
How?

I looked up the company that did the procedure. W1 Wellness is the company that organized the procedure but they didn’t do everything on their own. They actually work with another company called Crisalix which is “the leading VR 4D & 3d imaging solution among plastic surgeons around the world.” In the video, you can see the doctor uses an iPad 3d scanner to scan Jessica. There are a few portable fairly low-cost 3d scanners out for iPad, so this would be pretty easy to do.

Next, in the video, it appears that Jessica is wearing a VR Homido headset to view her new post-surgery hypothetical breasts that would be designed to make her breasts more gravitationally competent. Once again, this setup is not that complex. Any doctor with a bit of technical expertise could pull this off.

All in all, what is shown here is a whole heck of a lot of potentials. As of now, this setup more or less shows a woman advanced before and after pictures of her breasts that are to-scale and 3d. This is way better than the old-fashioned Photoshop methods.
But virtual reality boob jobs could be so much more. When I first read the story, I imagined that virtual reality breast augmentation could be used in a different way. By using body tracking technology, a post-surgery model of the user’s body could be aligned to the user. When in virtual reality, the user’s avatar body would be represented by the post-surgery model.
When looking down, the user would see the post-surgery body and therefore be able to see if such a procedure was for them. If such a technique was perfected, I imagine plastic surgery shops could soon be using virtual reality technology everywhere.
this seems fantastic, its great when a technology has some good advantages other then just being for entertainment.
This is certainly quite amazing. I just surprised to see that VR can be this much useful for proper medical diagnosis before surgeries actually take place
All the new uses of VR are amazing! I love seeing how it’s being used in real, useful applications, not just “wouldn’t such and such be cool in VR”.
