Before and after photos protocol
Going to a doctor’s office is an intimidating experience. You are probably not well, most likely alone, and surrounded by all the medical staff pretending to take their work very seriously. This is ideal scenario for making a wrong decision, particularly if you are naive enough to trust a doctor, who is more interested in making money than curing you.
That is why it is important that, provided you are conscious, ask questions if something does not make sense. For instance, if you have a headache and the doctor asks you to strip down so that he can examine your butt, it is best to call the police first.
Similarly, these days if you go to a cosmetic surgeon, do not be surprised that a doctor and her or his staff will be running around taking pictures of you, often without your clothes, unless you are having rhinoplasty or facelift. What you want to do is to discuss what types of pictures will be taken and what will happen to those.
There is a huge market for before and after plastic surgery photos and it seems that surgeons V. Leroy Young, Robert Centeno and C.B. Boswell of the Body Aesthetics Plastic Surgery and Skin Care Center abused the trust placed in them by a female patient who went for skin reduction surgery. Without her consent, her pictures ended up in Riverfront Times, a St. Louis area newspaper. Richard Witzel (attorney for the woman who is keeping her identity private) says that the woman was mortified to see herself in the paper.
