If a picture is worth 1,000 words, Botox and dermal filler before and after photos are worth 1,000,000. Whether you’re considering a non-surgical facelift, lip filler, jawline contouring, Botox®, cheek filler, or another cosmetic procedure using injections, it is crucial to review your providers before and after photo gallery to ensure you’re getting the best results possible.
Dr. Stephen Bracci, founder of VERVE Medical Cosmetics, is giving you the 7 Things to Look for in Botox and Dermal Filler Before and After Photo Galleries
1. Verify the quantity of photos available, particularly for challenging areas like the filler for under-eye
A substantial collection of images, rather than just one or two, can provide a more accurate representation of the injector’s capabilities. Other areas to consider are before and after for lip injections, the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, amongst other facial rejuvenation procedures.

2. Examine photos that show both specific treated areas and the entire face. Optimal results should harmonize the treated area with the overall facial aesthetics
Often providers will only show you the area of treatment, but that doesn’t show you the true story of a post injectable treatment. You should look to see how the facial fillers harmonize with the rest of the face to get a sense of their artistry.
3. Pay attention to the consistency in photo angles between before and after shots. For instance, variations in angles, especially in under-eye photos, can misleadingly alter the appearance of creases.
If the before photo is taken above the patient’s face and the after photo is straight on, you will not be able to get an accurate representation of the provider’s work and results. Other things to consider are lighting differences, how close or far away they are from the camera, and if anything looks edited or retouched. These are all examples of things to stay away from when looking into an injector.
4. Be wary of after photos where patients appear overly puffy, a common result when providers overly rely on Hyaluronic Acid fillers. The outcomes should look natural and align with your expectations of post-treatment appearance.
When fillers are used correctly, they should work as an enhancement to the area, meaning the patient shouldn’t look overfilled, too puffy, or irritated.
5. Make sure you truly like how the client looks in the after photo – make sure it fits in with how you want to look and that the results satisfy you.
Perhaps the most crucial aspect is the discernible difference between the before and after states. Photos should clearly demonstrate a significant improvement, as it’s not uncommon to find minimal changes in some cases. Though we want a natural, subtle look, you want your before and after difference to be a significant improvement. Be sure that there are consistent results that match your aesthetic goals. Make sure you truly like how the client looks in the after photo – make sure it fits in with how you want to look and that the results satisfy you.
It’s intriguing to note the prevalence of injectable services available and how few providers actually possess an extensive portfolio of high-quality before and after photographs. Ensure that your provider can provide different types of cosmetic injectables to give you a full, comprehensive treatment.
