- Abstract
Photography is one of the most useful tools today plastic surgeons rely on. Aesthetic Surgery and photography are inseparable. To build up a permanent archive, patients' photographic records are essential in specialities such as Aesthetic Surgery for several reasons: help in diagnosis, ease patient-doctor relationship, leave documentary record, legal protection and marketing tool among others. For these reasons standardization and clinical photography recommendations are important and should be well known by professionals. Published articles about this topic are numerous, however is common to find photographs in medical publications and congresses in which minimal photographic standards are not reached. Having a consistent, comparable and well organized photographs archive is important in order to be used easily and efficiently.
