Breast simulation: Deformation Map

Hi,

I want to simulate the deformation of breast under gravity. I
initially have patient's breast images in one position (supine, with
breast falling on the chest). I want to apply gravity loading and
simulate breast image in another position (prone, with breast falling
away from the chest).

I follow the standard path i.e. segment images (supine data),
generate mesh, import the mesh into ABAQUS, apply material properties,
BCs and loads and run the simulation and I get deformed breast mesh
(simulated prone).
