Aesthetic procedures

Visual analysis of before–after photos used in aesthetic medicine.

Before–after images for aesthetic procedures often rely on non-standardized photography. Differences in lighting, facial expression, posture, camera angle, or timing can significantly amplify perceived results.

This section examines misleading before–after images related to injectables, skin treatments, laser procedures, body contouring, and other aesthetic interventions, focusing on what visually changed rather than what is claimed.
