By good photos I don't just mean "wow" before and afters but good quality, consistent placement and consistent lighting.
When a staff member discovered our images posted on another site without our agreement we were mortified. Yes, this can happen. When viewing photos in the office notice whether or not all the photos are taken with the same background, same lighting and with the same (at least 3) positions. Ask for information including patient's age, and how long after surgery photo was taken. Most importantly, ask, did you perform this surgery? Did you perform this as the primarly plastic surgeon? Has this photo been retouched?
Photos are a very important of the decision making process, but not the single most important factor in selecting a plastic surgeon. Check their bacjground with your state medical board, their membership with the ASPS and speak to many of their previous patients. You may also want to check with your primary care physician, or other medical professionals you know.
good luck.
