2D shows flat images, 3D adds lifelike detail, and 4D adds motion so you can see your baby move in real time.
A common question is, “What’s the difference between 2D, 3D, and 4D ultrasounds?” At Chubby Cheeks 3D/4D Ultrasound Studio of Reno & Sparks, we use all three to create different experiences. 2D ultrasound produces classic black-and-white images showing your baby’s shape, heartbeat, and position. 3D ultrasound adds realistic depth and facial definition — perfect for photos. 4D ultrasound captures movement, letting you watch your baby smile, yawn, or stretch in real time. These imaging types are safe, elective, and available in select packages. Parents across Northern Nevada love combining 3D and 4D for the most vivid keepsakes.
