How to read before and after photos

Same angle and distance

Both photos should be taken from the same angle and distance. Tilting the chin or turning the head changes how the nose, jaw and neck look.

Same lighting and background

Brighter or softer light hides skin texture and shadow. Compare photos taken in similar light against the same background.

Matching expression and posture

A smile, a clenched jaw or a change in stance alters the result you see, so expression and posture should match.

Time since surgery

Swelling settles over months. A photo taken a few weeks after surgery shows a result that is still changing.

Unedited images

Retouching, filters and make-up can flatter a result. If you are unsure, ask the surgeon how the photos were taken.

Patients like you

Results depend on your starting point, skin and healing, so look for patients whose anatomy is close to yours.

From consultation to results

  1. 1

    Consultation

    Meet your surgeon at Baker Street to talk through your goals and what is realistic for your anatomy. The consultation fee is £100 and is deducted from your procedure if you go ahead.

  2. 2

    Your treatment plan

    Your surgeon explains the technique they recommend, the recovery and the result you can expect, and you receive a written quote.

  3. 3

    Time to decide

    At least two weeks pass between your consultation and surgery, so you can make your decision without pressure.

  4. 4

    Surgery and follow-up

    Your surgical and nursing team review your healing at planned follow-up appointments while your result settles over the following months.

What our patients say

Photos show the result. Reviews tell you what the care was like, from the first consultation to the final follow-up at our Baker Street hospital.

Thinking about cost?

Every procedure has its own cost guide setting out what the quote covers. You can pay in full or spread the cost with finance through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status. M Sarwar Limited, trading as Centre for Surgery, is a credit broker, not a lender.

  • It took me years and years and many consultations later to finally find the perfect place, and CFS was definitely that place for me. From my initial enquiry I felt completely comfortable. My patient coordinator Carla is one in a million.

    Geri Google review · March 2026
  • I liked that my consultation was at the operating clinic and that I knew where I would be going for surgery, it took some of the fear away. […] I liked that my follow ups were with the same nurses that looked after me on the day of my procedure […]

  • When I had more questions later on, I was able to book another consultation without any issues, which gave me even more confidence that I was in the best hands.

    Kat S. Google review · June 2026
  • The aftercare nurse that was working looked after me very well and made sure I wasn’t [in] any discomfort. They made sure my wife was ok upstairs as well, which was very important to me.

    Jimi S. Gynecomastia surgery · Google review · February 2026
  • The nursing team at the Centre for Surgery provides an outstanding standard of care. From the pre-assessment to the post-operative follow-ups, they demonstrated absolute professionalism, clinical expertise, and deep knowledge.

    Tiffany F. Google review · July 2026
  • Nikesh, the Senior Patient Coordinator, was approachable, knowledgeable and never made me feel pressured. […] Since then, the aftercare has been outstanding. The nursing team checked in with me every couple of days during my first week of recovery to see how I was healing, answer any questions and ensure everything was progressing as expected.

    Delcina Y. Google review · July 2026
  • Ida carefully explained beforehand what the treatment would involve, the time it would take me to heal and what I could expect during my recovery. I appreciated the follow up from her to check on my progress.

    David W. Laser skin treatment · Google review · June 2025
  • The nursing team, Patricia, Sowmya and Alejandra were very attentive and warm throughout my entire stay. I’ve had follow-up phone calls and I’ve also contacted them on a few occasions; I’m always treated to a high standard, and everything gets sorted promptly.

    Deb S. Google review · May 2026
  • Having now experienced both the original procedure and the follow-up care, what has impressed me most is the standard of care throughout the entire process rather than just on the day of surgery.

Before and after photos: common questions

Are these before and after photos of real patients?

Yes. Every photo in our galleries is of a Centre for Surgery patient who agreed to share their photographs. Some faces are covered, blurred or cropped to protect patients’ privacy.

How long after surgery are after photos taken?

It varies by procedure and by patient. Swelling settles over weeks to months, and the final result of operations such as rhinoplasty or a facelift can take a year or more to show fully. When you compare photos, check how long after surgery the after photo was taken, because an early photo shows a result that is still settling.

How can you tell if a before and after photo has been edited?

Look for the same angle, lighting, background and expression in both photos. Changes in skin texture, make-up, posture or camera distance can exaggerate a result. If you are unsure, ask the surgeon how and when the photos were taken.

Will my results look the same as these photos?

No two patients are alike. Your result depends on your anatomy, skin quality, healing and the procedure you have. The photos show what has been achieved for other patients, and at your consultation your surgeon will explain what is realistic for you.

How long do plastic surgery results last?

It depends on the procedure. Changes to the nose in rhinoplasty and to the ears in otoplasty are long-lasting. Fat cells removed by liposuction do not grow back, although the fat that remains can increase if you gain weight. Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and every result continues to age with you.

Do you still age after a facelift?

Yes. A facelift lifts and repositions the tissues of the face and neck, but natural ageing continues afterwards, so the result softens over the years. See our facelift before and after photos.

Why are some photos blurred or cropped?

To protect patients’ privacy. Some patients agree to share their results only if their eyes or face are covered, and photos of intimate areas are cropped to the treated area.
