Do Liposuction Before and After Photos Lie?
Date: Monday April 20, 2009Posted in: Liposuction Procedure
How true are liposuction before and after photos shown by cosmetic and plastic surgeons during the initial consultation? Importance of this question can hardly be overestimated; many future patients make their decision based on the aesthetic impressions when viewing those photos. They simply image themselves being in the picture…
Because of that, it is vital for cosmetic surgeons to present the best cases – successes only. I’m yet to see one example of a botched operation or a liposuction procedure that delivered less than perfect results.
When you look at those liposuction before and after photos during the initial consultation, or on the surgeons’ websites, make sure that you consider all important factors:
- weight of the patient.
- her/his level of fitness
- age
- how long after the liposuction procedure the photos were taken
Although you should worry about clever manipulation of images, using photo-editing programs, you should make sure that you stay with the reputable, mainstream practitioners. If your doctor is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, that’s a good start. You can also check your prospective cosmetic surgeon’s credentials with the American Medical Association, for an added peace of mind. After all, your beauty deserves the best!
