How to Take Your Medical Photos

Clear, consistent photos are essential for your surgeon to assess your needs and plan your procedure. Please follow these steps carefully to ensure your images are useful.

  • Use good lighting: Natural light in front of a plain wall works best.
  • Wear fitted underwear or a bikini so the surgical area is visible.
  • Keep the same distance (about 1.5–2 meters) and angle for each shot.
  • Hold the camera at chest or waist height depending on the area.
  • Do not use filters or edits – surgeons need a natural view.

  • Front view – arms relaxed by your side.
  • Left side view – arms down.
  • Right side view – arms down.
  • Back view – arms relaxed.

  • Front view – arms down.
  • 45° left angle – arms down.
  • 45° right angle – arms down.
  • Side views (left & right) – arms down.

  • Front view – neutral expression.
  • Left side profile – neutral expression.
  • Right side profile – neutral expression.
  • 45° left & right – neutral expression.

  • Front hairline – close-up.
  • Top of head – crown visible.
  • Left side – temple and side view.
  • Right side – temple and side view.
  • Back of head – donor area.

  • Take 2–3 photos per angle in case one is blurry.
  • Ask a friend or use a tripod for steady shots.
  • Save your photos in a folder with your name + date (e.g., AnnaSmith_Aug2025).
  • Send unedited photos directly to us – JPEG/PNG format preferred.

Think of your photos as a medical record, not a fashion shoot. Clear, honest images help your surgeon give the best advice.
