Meeting with your potential plastic surgeon before you make an appointment for surgery has many advantages. Of course you want to feel comfortable with him or her, and ensure that you feel you are in the right hands. You should also make sure that the doctor believes that you are a good candidate for the surgery. However, it also gives you a chance to look at the before and after pictures of patients, which can tell you a lot about the doctor in question.
Every reputable plastic surgeon takes before and after photos of each patient. There are several benefits for both parties. The doctor benefits from this practice because it is a chance to show potential patients what they have done in the past. Sometimes, they include a book of photographs in their office for patients to peruse, while other doctors simply put them on their website for everyone to see.
Of course, you can expect surgeons to only show off photos of the successful surgeries they have performed, so a large amount of appealing pictures does not mean that every operation has gone perfectly. However, it can give you an idea of what to expect, as some doctors have different ideas of what a positive outcome is. Obviously if you are not happy with many of the photos, you should look into going to another plastic surgeon. In such a case, a picture may have saved you from spending your money on a doctor that would not have given you what you wanted.
Additionally, the pictures may benefit you because they tend to show how much of a difference the surgery made. In some cases, you may realize that the change was subtle, but it improved your look by a mile. Some people realize that they actually liked their look better before, at which time they may talk to their plastic surgeon and subsequently schedule revision surgery. Either way, the photos are often helpful at pointing out the differences before and after the operation.
In general, such pictures are always good to have. Looking at the photographs of others may help you decide on a doctor, and looking at your own can make you see that your look has been much improved. It can also help you notice when revision surgery may be necessary. In the future, you may even decide to let your doctor show off your photographs to potential patients, helping others decide on a plastic surgeon.
