Patients often ask to see photographs of people who have had the surgery. Plastic surgeons often take pictures before and after operations but these photographs are part of the patient's chart. They are therefore are protected by rules of confidentiality. Some doctors feel strongly about this and prefer to show only pictures from textbooks.
If pictures are shown a release is must be obtained from the patient. It is sometimes possible for you to speak with or see patients who have had the surgery before you undergo surgery yourself.
Remember that it is unusual for a doctor to show you pictures of poor results even though all doctors have poor result from time to time.
