Dr. Zhuravsky does virtual consultations for patients from all over the country, dedicating the same level of attention through video as he does in-person. While video meeting quality has come a long way, good quality photos are very helpful for a more accurate assessment.
Photography is especially important for Rhinoplasty patients in order to perform computer morphed images. Dr. Z has found the process of morphing images along with his patients, while talking through the changes to be an essential part of a good rhinoplasty consultation. If the photos are grainy, the lighting is poor, or the angles are off, patients might not get the full benefit of this process. Below are some tips on how to take good photos for some of the most popular procedures.
