Dr. shared no pictures of his work at consult. Is this a red flag?

Asked By:smilemaker in Cincinnati, Ohio

I am interested in breast explant, lift, and tummy tuck. I really liked the doctor I consulted with. He was very confident, evaluated me and told me I’d be a great candidate, patiently answered all questions and explained everything completely. I got a great vibe from him. When I asked to see some photos of his work, he seemed surprised and said he could “dig some up for me If I really wanted to see some”. Isn’t it normal to have pics ready to show potential patients? Is this a red flag?
