Breast Augmentation App Lets You Visualize Your Body with Implants Before Surgery

New tech to help women make more informed choices.

Augmented reality app Illusio lets you see how breast implants look on your body before surgery.
Many cultures view breasts as an important part of sex appeal. So for many women, the decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery can be life-altering one.

Even with recent developments in medical science, an error in selection can mean repeated corrective surgeries—and more than likely years of emotional difficulty dealing with the fallout of a botched procedure on such a highly sexualized pair of body parts.

Considering how sensitive breast augmentation surgery is, it’s remarkable it’s taken this long for someone to create a way for women see how different breast types might suit their bodies getting on the operating table.

Thankfully, Ethan Winner has come along and created Illusio, an augmented reality app that allows women to actually test out which breast shapes and sizes flatter them most or fit their beauty ideals. The app is currently on Kickstarter as part of a campaign to raise $50,000 by Dec. 14.


As reported by Ozy, Winner was inspired by his wife’s desire for breast implants—and the lack of ways for her to realistically visualize her possible new form.

While there are other apps of this type, Illusio is unique in that it is designed to be only used by plastic surgeons.

After photographing a patient with the app, the doctor can then show the patient a much greater—and more realistic—range of options, including size, shape, and placement.

Illusio is also planning on upgrades in the near future. They will also give surgeons ways of showing patients the possibilities for other forms of cosmetic surgery such as facelifts and tummy tucks.

The creation of Illusio is an extremely important step, showing that cosmetic surgery innovation isn’t just about new materials and techniques.

Rather, it’s about the ultimate goal of these types of procedures: to give patients a way to make informed and realistic decisions—and be treated with respect and sensitivity.

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
