Virtual Consultation Photo Instructions

If you’re traveling from out of town or prefer the ease of a virtual appointment, we offer consultations with our board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeons from the comfort of your home. Just like an in-person consultation, your virtual visit will involve a personal conversation where we get to know you, discuss your aesthetic goals, and address any concerns.

To help the doctor provide an accurate assessment, we kindly ask that you submit photos of the areas of concern before your virtual consultation. Based on your consultation, you may be ready to move forward with scheduling your surgical procedure or in-office treatment.

Please note that, depending on your specific case, an in-person consultation may be necessary for further clarification.

Instructions for Photos

To ensure your virtual consultation is as effective as possible, it’s important to provide clear, accurate photos. Below are detailed instructions for each type of consultation.

Breast Consultation Photo Instructions

• Photos should be taken from just below the chin (with shoulders visible) to just above the belly button.
• Avoid raising your arms, as this can alter the natural position of your breasts. Keep your arms resting on your hips or naturally at your sides.
• Relax your body for the most accurate photo outcome.
• Hold the camera straight forward, without angling it up or down.
• No garments should be worn (no bras or shirts).

You will need 5 photos:

1. Full front view
2. Quarter turn to each side
3. Full side views of each breast.

Body Consultation Photo Instructions

• Photos should include your entire torso, from just below your shoulders to your feet, with no undergarments obscuring the area to be examined.
• Keep your arms down at your sides to avoid lifting your abdomen unnaturally.
• Don’t “suck in” your stomach—inhale and exhale naturally to fully relax.
• Wear only a bra or thong for these photos.

You will need 5 photos:

1. Full front view
2. Quarter turn from the front view
3. Full side view
4. Full back view
5. Quarter turn from the back view.

Facial Consultation Photo Instructions

• Photos should include your entire head and neck, from the top of your head down to just below your collarbones.
• Keep your facial expression neutral—no smiling or frowning. Aim for a relaxed, natural position.
• Let your jawline rest naturally without pushing it out or posing, as this can obscure your true jawline.
• Hold the camera straight ahead.
• Avoid angling it up or down, as this can distort your facial features.

You will need 4 photos:

1. Full front view
2. Quarter turn view
3. Full side view
4. Front view with your head tilted slightly downward.

If you have any questions about filling out the paperwork or sending photos, please call (312) 846-1529 or email our consultations coordinator at consultations@chicagoaesthetics.com. We look forward to helping you look and feel your best!
