When planning facial surgery, bringing reference images can help your surgeon understand your desired outcome.

However, it's crucial to realize that your anatomy is the foundation for any achievable results—surgery isn’t about picking a new look like buying a product. If you're aiming for a drastic change that doesn't align with your natural features, you risk dissatisfaction and emotional distress.

Unrealistic expectations can lead to unhappiness, anxiety, and even depression. Instead, focus on achieving enhancements that complement your existing features for a more satisfying and harmonious result.

Understanding the limitations of your anatomy helps set realistic goals, leading to better outcomes and a positive experience.
