Accumulation of stubborn fat deposits in certain areas of the body, and loose and sagging skin in some areas, are both common problems that may occur due to a variety of factors. Body contouring cosmetic surgery procedures can be performed to correct these problems and restore more attractive and youthful contours.
During the initial consultation for body contouring, the surgeon will educate the patient on all aspects of the surgery, and may also present body contouring before and after photographs. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides body contouring procedures to patients in Dallas, Texas and surrounding communities.
What are Body Contouring Before and After Pictures?
Before and after pictures in case of body contouring plastic surgery refer to a set of images pertaining to an earlier patient who has undergone the same surgery with a satisfactory outcome. The set includes images taken before the surgery and after the surgery at a stage when the post-operative bruising and swelling has been resolved and full effects of the procedure have been established.
The surgeon will take care to ensure that the photographs are obtained with the proper consent of the patient and presented before new patients in a discreet and appropriate way. The patient’s identity may be kept confidential as per the standard protocol. The only goal of the surgeon in this exercise is to use the photos as a visual aid to educate new patients about the potential effectiveness of body contouring cosmetic surgery.
Advantages
Body contouring is a major surgical procedure, which can significantly improve the patient’s overall look. But a new patient cannot anticipate how their final look will emerge after the surgery, and whether the procedure will be able to meet their personal aesthetic needs and goals.
Some patients may only require liposuction in one or two sites, while some others may also need skin tightening procedures such as tummy tuck or body lift as part of body contouring. In each case, the patient will be in a better position to make the right decisions when they have access to body contouring before and after photos.
Having Reasonable Expectations
Experienced and sharp surgeons prefer to present before and after photos at the very first appointment so that the patient can know clearly what the body contouring surgery can or cannot do for them. Candidates with reasonable expectations will usually achieve better satisfaction levels in the end, and will be able to appreciate the results in a better way.
The risk of any disappointments or misunderstandings is mitigated when this transparent approach of providing body contouring before and after photos is followed. Fantastic and committed board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Khan receives patients from Dallas, Texas and nearby areas for body contouring surgery.
Photos on the Web
The surgeon has a choice to display body contouring before and after photos on their practice website. If the surgeon has an active social media presence, they may also consider increasing awareness about the procedure by sharing these photos via leading social networks.
This means that anyone could see with unprecedented clarity what this surgery is all about. Not only that, they could apply what they see in these amazing pictures to their own body. Digital technology allows them do this. This potential patient could also do this without anyone else knowing. That type of discreetness is another salient aspect of viewing website pictures.
This makes the job of Dr. Khan that much easier since she does not have to take so much time explaining to people what she can do for them or what body contouring is all about. We know longer have to rely on other peoples’ spoken word, old picture books, or vague brochures. We can see exactly what this procedure is about and apply those clear ideas to our own bodies. That is cutting edge technology!
