Before/After Photos

All patients who are scheduled for surgery will have preoperative and postoperative photos taken. It is our office policy to maintain the confidentiality of these images and they are not used in any type of advertising. Patient photos are strictly used for educational, medical, and scientific purposes and only at the patient’s written consent. As part of educating prospective surgical patients, we do make before and after photos available to view during the initial consultation. We have volumes of photo albums available for this purpose and each is separated by procedure. All patients who undergo surgery will receive a copy of their photos on a CD at their final postoperative visit. We hope you understand and appreciate our position regarding the release of before and after photos.
