Is it ok to take reference pictures to a first consultation?

April 28, 2017
Asked By:ffy0 in Los Angeles, CA

I'm 21, I plan on having my first consultations (breast implants and rhinoplasty), I know that some people might take celebrity photos and have unrealistic expectations, I know that doctors will have a lot of references to show but would it help if I take something too? I also would like to know if I could bring a picture of my nose bridge of when I was a bit younger, is it uncommon or unhelpful to show photo references of yourself? Thank you.
