Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for cosmetic injection. The apparatus includes a processor; a 3D imaging system coupled to the processor; and an injector controlled by the processor to inject filler into a patient.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method to perform cosmetic enhancements using a body sensor to provide body patient data to a processor and an injector controlled by the processor to inject filler into a patient, comprising
capturing a 3D model of a patient body portion using one or more cameras;
modeling shape and size change in the body portion due to an implant;
iteratively changing modeled body shapes or sizes until the patient is satisfied with a desired shape or size;
controlling the injector to deliver the implant in the patient; and
monitoring injection into patient and providing feedback if needed to achieve the desired shape and size.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising morphing or project the shape/size of breast or butt increase onto the 3D model of patient.

3. The method of claim 1 , comprising allowing a user to select from a library of wardrobes to provide realistic post-implant simulation.

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising injecting a polymer into a shell of a soft tissue human implant prior to or during implantation of the shell with a lumen in a human body.

5. The method of claim 1 , comprising cross-linking the polymer, wherein a cross linking reaction occurs outside a shell or in-situ inside the shell.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer comprises one of: collagens, hyaluronic acids, celluloses, proteins, saccharides.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer comprises an extracellular matrix of a biological system.

8. The method of claim 1 , comprising using cross linkers and forming homo-polymers or to form copolymers by crosslinking with other polymer species.

9. The method of claim 1 , comprising controlling drug releases at predetermined timing in anticipation of an onset of a negative physiological event in response to invading foreign bodies.

10. The method of claim 1 , comprising injecting anesthetics, lidocaine or compound to reduce or eliminate acute inflammatory reactions to the pharmaceutical substance.

11. The method of claim 1 , comprising adding one or more compositions selected from the group consisting of steroids, corticosteroids, dexamethasone, triamcinolone.

12. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor;
a body sensor to provide body patient data to the processor; and
an injector controlled by the processor to inject filler into a patient.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the injector includes a medicament container, a needle, an energy source, and a regulator.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the injector medicament container has a piston movably disposed therein such that the medicament container is divided into a first portion and a second portion.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the first portion of the medicament container is configured to contain a filler, wherein the needle is coupled to the medicament container such that the needle is in fluid communication with the first portion of the medicament container.

16. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising a mechanical pump to inject the biocompatible cross-linked polymer under soft tissue in a minimally invasive manner.

17. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor optimizes degradation profile of the composition and minimizing migration of the composition.

18. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the filler has a predetermined number average molecular weight (Mn) and the polydispersity index, wherein the filler maintains a consistency of the composition in particle size and population densities, and wherein the filler comprises co-cross-linked glycosaminoglycan chemically with at least one other polymer including hyaluronan or hylan.

19. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor continuously updates the current shape of breast or butt from a 3D model of the patient to fit to a desired shape.

20. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the body sensor comprises a contact sensor or a contactless sensor.
