Thank you for your support, feedback and your thoughts. I totally understand your concerns - and in some ways I also share them. Of course patient advice should not (at least not more then to some extent) rely on "what everybody else t

Thank you very much for your time and support! I do understand your concern - however the data collection works a little bit different "under the surface" as it seems. In the statistical analysis of the data we do not look at the

Thank you for your support and interest in the project - and of course this thoughtful input. We have had hours of discussions on how many "metadata" we ask for. The two main reasons for the fact that we decided on just gender and

Thank you for your interest and feedback. Yes - in some ways it is. We want to get a far more profound understanding of the influence the different parameters (e.g. size, shape, areola sizes, areola positions etc.) have on the aesthetic per

Thank you very much for your feedback and support! I already tested it from a "remote" location. I have optimized the code tonight and think I was able to improve performance significantly! I am very sorry for the inconvenience -

Thank you so much for your effort and support! I have tried to improve the code and hope that performance is significantly better now. I am really sorry for the inconvenience! The good thing is that due to the study design and the database

Thank you very much for your support! In fact now picture pair is equal - although some may look very similar. Some pictures may loop - but that is because we need to compare some conditions to the same "base" condition (e.g. size

Thank you very much for your feedback and time! We know that we do not cover aspects like skin tone - and we would love to somehow implement that. The problem is that to get the best statistical results, the "decision-influencing"

Thank you so much for your time, effort and support. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. I checked the server multiple times - despite the unexpected huge amount of traffic from HN the server still seems to be fine. So I am not sure what

Thank you for your interest and taking the time. Did you select a gender and age group? If one of those selections is not selected, you will be taken back to the landing page. Could this maybe cause the problem? Thank you for your support!

Thank you so much for your support and this kind feedback! We will do our best - and if only one surgery can be improved, we already helped one patient to get a better result than otherwise. Thank you for your time and support!

Thank you for your comment. I have used this spinner for 5 or 6 years already. It is just a GIF - to be honest I can't remember where I got it from back then.

Thank you very much for your time taking part in the survey and your great feedback. That is exactly our goal - to help patients with decision making. Patients often are quite unsure about what is the aesthetically best option for them and

Thank you for your reply and your feedback. I'm not sure about the NSFW tag - however if you select age under 18 you cannot start the survey, so I hope it is ok without the NSFW tag. The order of the images is completely randomized - s

Dear HN-Community, I know this might be a little different post - but we hope it might be appropriate nevertheless. I am a physician in reconstructive and plastic surgery with a passion for technology. A big part of my job is breast recons
