The MD Codes points each simulation used,
on your patient's own photo.

Cheek, temple, jawline, nasolabial fold and tear trough filler simulations in Med Plasty are written around MD Codes injection points. The anatomy map marks those points on the patient's photo, next to the artery danger zones, so the consultation shows where the simulation placed product.

MD Codes with the artery danger zones

On a patient, the points are fitted to the face in the photo from facial landmarks. Here they are shown on the reference face.

Clinical logic you can see

01

On the patient's photo

The map is fitted to the face in the photo, so the points and the artery zones follow its size and angle.

02

Only what was simulated

A point appears only when the simulation's prompt names it. Nothing is added to suggest where else to inject.

03

Beside the danger zones

Each point sits on the same map as the arteries and the high-risk injection zones, so the doctor reads them together.

How to read it

The points are an estimate placed from facial landmarks. They record what the simulation assumed and are not an injection instruction. The practitioner locates every point on the patient and decides the treatment. The artery map is a general reference, not a scan of this patient's vessels.
