Facelift cosmetic surgery can dramatically improve an individual’s facial appearance and take five to 10 years off their face. At the time of pre-operative consultation, the surgeon will explain to the patient about various aspects of facelift, and may also present facelift before and after photographs.
The first goal of the surgeon will be to educate the patient about facelift and its potential effectiveness and help the patient make a well-considered decision. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Amir Nasir provides facelift and other procedure to patients in New Haven, Westport, CT, and other neighborhoods spread throughout this region.
What are Facelift Before and After Pictures?
Before and after pictures in case of facelift 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 pictures taken prior to the surgery and after the surgery at a time when the post-op bruising and swelling has been resolved and full effects of facelift have been established.
The surgeon will take care to ensure that the pictures are acquired from the patient with their complete consent and presented before new patients in an appropriate manner. As per the standard protocol, the patient’s identity may be kept confidential. The surgeon’s only purpose in this exercise is to use the photographs as a visual aid to educate new patients about what a facelift surgery can or cannot do for them.
The real dynamic here because the amazing thing plastic surgeons can do nowadays is digital technology. Digital technology has brought clarity to the masses. Now someone can see what they are getting into before they sign any paper work and perhaps even before they even speak with Dr. Nasir. This saves the surgeon time and the patient. Digital photos allow someone to see how this surgery will look on them by seeing how it looks on someone else.
Benefits
Face is aesthetically the most prominent part of the body, and it is natural for a patient to be concerned about undergoing a major facial procedure such as facelift. Many patients would want to know how their facial appearance might change following the facelift surgery and whether the procedure will meet their personal aesthetic goals and aspirations.
Some patients may require only limited facelift, while some others may need major facial enhancement along with additional procedures such as facial liposuction or implants. In each case, the patient will be in a better position to make the right decisions when they have access to facelift before and after photos.
Keeping Reasonable Expectations
Patients who approach facelift surgery with a positive mindset, clear cosmetic goals and reasonable expectations will typically achieve higher satisfaction levels in the end. Therefore, a surgeon may prefer to present facelift before and after photos before the patient at the very first appointment.
Once the patient knows what to expect and what not to expect from a facelift, they will usually be able to appreciate the final results in a better way. The risk of any misunderstanding occurring at a late stage will be mitigated. Experienced cosmetic surgeon Dr. Nasir receives patients from New Haven, Westport, CT, and nearby areas for facelift surgery.
Website Pictures
The surgeon may choose to upload facelift before and after photos on their practice website in a dedicated ‘Photo Gallery’ section. Surgeons who are active on social media may also disseminate the pictures via photo sharing social networks such as Google+, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest in order to increase awareness about facelift surgery.
This was mentioned before in regards to digital technology but the advantages of this technology cannot be mentioned enough. Now a patient can ascertain whether or not they want to go this route without getting anyone else involved. They do not have to schedule an appointment with the clinic and look through vague brochures and picture book photos and rely so much on what the surgeon and staff say to them. Digital pictures literally speak thousands of words and enable someone to make a salient decision in regards to facelift surgery.
