Release Summary: New research from The Harley Medical Group has
shown that before & after pictures can aid cosmetic surgery
recovery as two thirds of patients use pictures as a constant reminder
of their new look

Press
Release Body: Results of research released by The Harley
Medical Group reveals nearly two thirds (64%) of cosmetic
surgery patients take up to six months to recognise and feel comfortable
with their new look. The remaining third (36%) cannot imagine that
they ever looked any different.
The
research was conducted by The
Harley Medical Group amongst their patients. Staff
at Harley Medical Group use before and after pictures
as a tool to allow patients to see their remarkable evolution and
ease them into their new look. Staff have noted that this is an
essential tool for the recovery process from cosmetic
surgery.
Liz
Dale from the Harley Medical Group said: ‘It
is very important for the patient to understand the full extent
of what they have gone through and its life altering effects. It
is an essential part of the recovery process. With the use of before
and after pictures we enable the patient to visualise the dramatic
change they’ve experienced. Patients often carry the photos
around with them as a constant reminder of what they’ve been
through.’
The
Harley Medical Group are now releasing before and after
images on their website to show how cosmetic surgery can give patients
a new boost of confidence. New before and after images on the site
include, breast
enlargement and eyebag
removal with real life stories from patients.
The
Harley Medical Group ensures that all patients are thoroughly
interviewed before they undergo any form of surgery. This is to
make sure that the patient is 100% happy with the cosmetic surgery
they are going to undertake and that they are fully aware of all
procedures and outcomes. At this point a “before” picture
is also taken as a record of the procedure. Before and after pictures
from other procedures are also used to help demonstrate the dramatic
results that are achievable.
Once
the surgery is complete the patient is shown their before and after
pictures, giving them a continual reminder of what they once looked
like, and ultimately reassuring them that the surgery that they
have had was all worth while.
