Patient photography is educational and does not predict or guarantee an outcome. Patient consent and case details are documented by the practice.
How to read before-and-after photos
Before-and-after photographs are most useful when they are read as clinical records, not as promises. Begin with the same view—front to front, profile to profile—and look at proportion, contour and the relationship between features rather than one isolated detail.
Head position, expression, lighting, camera distance, lens choice, hair, makeup and the point in healing can all change what a photograph appears to show. Read each label, then compare the anatomy the treatment was intended to address.
A photograph can document a result in one person. It cannot establish candidacy or predict another person’s outcome; those questions require examination and an individualized plan.
