The plastic surgery pictures usually come in pairs.
One shot is taken before the operation, the other -
after it. You can see them almost at every plastic
surgery website and finding them is not a problem.
Trouble begins when you want to use them to
make up your mind about the results of the plastic
surgery you want to have.
Which plastic surgery pictures are the good
ones?
It is very easy to retouch these pictures. And I&PP Plastic Hangers39;m
not talking only about using Adobe Photoshop -
such plain dishonesty won't work in the long run.
But plastic surgery pictures can be taken in such
way that they will hide more than they will show.
Look only for the pictures that have the qualities
described below:
(1) There should be several plastic surgery pictures
of one patient. They should be taken from different
angles to give you better view of what actually has
changed.
(2) The patient should not wear any makeup. It is
quite common to take before shots when
patients don't wear any makeup and after shots -
when they wear it. Such plastic surgery pictures
are almost useless.
(3) The lighting should be similar in both before
and after pictures. Playing with # lighting can
change things in the plastic surgery pictures just
as good as the Acrobat Photoshop.
How can we actually use them?
The first usage is quite obvious: we use plastic
surgery pictures to see what we can expect from,
for example, breast augmentation. But there is
also one more way we can use them. You simply
HAVE TO see the plastic surgery pictures of you
prospect doctor's patients. Almost all patients in
plastic surgery clinics are photographed, so all the
photos should be available at the clinic. If they
refuse to show them or if they don't match the
good plastic surgery pictures description (see
above), you'd better reconsider your decision. Even
if they aren't the effects of doctor's dishonesty,
they tell about sloppiness of the clinic's work. If
they can't take the proper pictures, how can they
perform the serious and delicate surgery?
