How to Take Photos for a Facial Surgery Consultation
A practical guide to taking clear facial photos for rhinoplasty, facelift, neck lift and other cosmetic surgery consultations in Thailand.


How to Take Photos for a Facial Surgery Consultation
If you're considering rhinoplasty (nose job), a facelift, neck lift, or another facial aesthetic procedure in Thailand, your surgeon may ask you to provide photographs before your initial consultation.
Clear photographs help the medical team understand your concerns, evaluate the area you would like to treat, and provide preliminary recommendations before you travel.
At Siam Medica, we help international patients connect with hospitals and medical specialists in Thailand. We've prepared a practical photo guide to help you take the right pictures for an initial surgical review.
Which facial procedures may require photos?
Photographs are commonly requested for several facial aesthetic procedures, including:
Rhinoplasty (nose job) – nose reshaping or correction
Facelift – facial lifting and rejuvenation
Neck lift – treatment of the neck and jawline
Blepharoplasty – upper or lower eyelid surgery
Brow lift – forehead and eyebrow lifting
Chin augmentation – enhancement of the chin area
Otoplasty – ear reshaping surgery
Facial fat grafting – facial volume restoration
How to take photos for your consultation
For most facial procedures, you should prepare three basic views:
Front view: Looking directly at the camera.
Left profile: Showing the left side of your face.
Right profile: Showing the right side of your face.
If possible, also include left and right 45-degree views.
For rhinoplasty consultations, a photograph taken from below the nose is particularly helpful. For facelifts and neck lifts, an additional under-chin view may help show the neck and jawline.
For the best photo quality:
Use good, even lighting and a plain background.
Keep your face clearly visible and your hair tied back.
Maintain a neutral facial expression.
Avoid mirror selfies and beauty filters.
Remove glasses, hats and other accessories.
Avoid heavy makeup where possible.
Siam Medica Facial Procedure Photo Guide
To make the process easier, we've created a visual guide showing the recommended photo angles and simple instructions for preparing your pictures.
You can save the guide to your phone or share it with someone preparing for a facial surgery consultation.
Can a surgeon assess your case from photographs?
Photographs can help a surgeon provide a preliminary assessment and advise on possible treatment options.
However, they cannot replace a complete medical evaluation. A final treatment recommendation may require an in-person examination and additional medical information.
