In order for PIAC to reach a decision on whether a client may or may not be suitable to complete a procedure and to allow our plastic surgeons to make recommendation on the best plastic surgery procedure for you, we usually request that you provide photographs for us to evaluate.

Generally, photographs are required for most plastic surgery procedures and if you are unclear about what is recommended, please ask us.

When obtaining photographs, please remember the following.

• The photographs should clearly show the area of the body that a procedure is requested.
• Photographs must be recent and certainly not more than 2 months old.
• Photographs should be clear, and in focus. Those taken with a digital camera of more than 2 mega pixels are best.
• At least two or more profiles are best, for example a front and at least one side view.

Breast Surgery

For clients requesting any type of breast surgery, the following additional requirements are needed for our surgeons to make a more informed decision on suitability as a candidate for surgery.

Photos should include:

• Front view which includes the neck, shoulders, breasts and the navel.
• Front view with both arms raised above the head.
• Front view with both arms raised above the head, body leaning or slightly bent forward assuming a diving position.
• Side view with both arms down the side, as if standing to attention.
• Side view with both arms raised above the head, body leaning forward or slightly bent forward assuming a diving position.

When sending photographs through email, please consider the file size. Photos that are 2 or 3 megabytes only slow down the internet and are not required. Photos of 200 -400 KB are usually adequate.
