Safe to Post Pics?

By Juliabars on 07 Jul 2012

Do you know if it's safe to post pics on reviews/q&a? I'd like to do so but I'm afraid someone will find out who I am. Have any of you had such an experience??

Hi Sharon,

Thanks for the comment. Also, this is off subject but do you know why plastic surgeons don't answer certain questions? I know I have posted a lot (26 total) - it was simply due to both a curiosity of plastic surgery as well as bypassing expensive consultations (I'm treating myself to 1 procedure ever so I'd like to choose the best option) - so I'm guessing I'm looking a bit "obsessed" (I guess it is if curiosity or pickiness is an obsession) to the docs... They've slowly been trickling away from my questions... Just wondering since I'm sure you are more familiar with the realself community than I am. Perhaps I could ask the docs this question, lol...

Thanks!

I would guess that they don't want to answer due to fear of liability. Also, I would guess that they don't want to give the procedures they do a bad name because many seem more interested in making money than upholding their Hippocratic Oath and doing what they can to improve this field. What I've found is that even if you pay to go to someone, they often dance around the truth because of fear of liability or wanting to protect their fellows.

I recommend cropping your photos so that only the relevant body parts are shown; e.g. there's no reason to include your face in breast or butt shots (unless you want to!). Also, cover up any tattoos. That way you're pretty anonymous.
