Can my plastic surgeon legally post online before/after pictures of my face?

pamela6741Sep 29, 2016
They say I signed an agreement for use of my photos 10 yrs ago (that's when I had breast implants). I don't remember...but would have assumed if those photos were published you wouldn't see my face. Now, 10 yrs later, work done on my face has been posted on their website (guess it was leaked) I'm devastated! Do you think I have grounds to sue??

It is very difficult to determine the best lift you will need (recommended based on your photos) or the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon,...

At 3 weeks you’re still recovering from your surgery. Please wait until about 3-4 months after your surgery to discuss your results with your surgeon. It usually takes this amount of time for the breasts to even out and assume a more natural shape.
