Before-and-after photos can be helpful in assessing a surgeon's results. Lighting plays an important role in before-and-after cosmetic surgery photos. We live in a world of overhead lighting, whether it be from the sun or ceiling lights. Overhead lighting creates shadows, which further worsen the appearance of lower eyelid bags and facial wrinkles. When photos are taken with a flash pointing directly at the patient, shadows are minimized. For some patients who have undergone lower eyelid blepharoplasty surgery, Dr. Moore has included photos taken in different types of lighting. Photos that appear darker were taken with indirect lighting to maximize the appearance of shadows, both before and after surgery. We hope you find these photos helpful and encourage you to contact us if you have any questions.
