Pics for Doc's use, what would you do?

Actually, it's just the highlighting.  If you highlight your post, the letters turn white and it's readable.  My surgeon would remove all identifying marks and let me have approval first.  I've just never been asked to pose naked before for pics (except in the office for the befpre photos) so I'm unsure how I feel.  But I am flattered.  I do not look amazing, but considering where I was...

You should be flattered. You must look amazing. I'd do it if my surgeon asked me.

 I think it could come back to haunt you.  If you tell any of your friends or associates that you had the surgery and who your doctor was, they could easily go to his website and deduce who is who and one of them will be you.  So if you don't want people you know  to see your naked befores and afters whenever the mood strikes them --don't do it!

Just was thinking about this... but how would they know it was HER body unless they've seen her naked before.. in which case it wouldn't matter?

I look at it as a way of paying it forward.

I looked at many nekkid before and after shots of other people to make my plastics plan.
I appreciated their bravery.

I'd do it too.  It is paying it forward.  At my age *****ally wants to see me naked anyway? Only clinical viewers who want to check out PS scars and results, and maybe my DH who sees me through rose-colored glasses most of the time.

I'd do it.  I posted my pics on here yesterday so I guess I could put them anywhere.  Take it as the compliment he surely intended it to be.  He would only uses pics of his successes!!

I allowed my surgeon to use mine - the before and after was such a drastic change.  No head shots and the only people that have seen me naked are my husband and other doctors (many over the years) so I had no problem - no one would be able to identify me.
