Micropigmentation pictures show the subtle or dramatic changes that a patient can expect from various procedures. Using micropigmentation pictures, doctors can demonstrate the potential outcome for prospective patients, and reviewing micropigmentation pictures with a plastic surgeon gives individuals the chance to ask specific questions.

For accuracy, micropigmentation pictures should be taken from the same angles using similar lighting. The subjects of micropigmentation pictures should not wear makeup, or should keep makeup to a minimum to accurately portray results. Micropigmentation pictures taken immediately after treatment may show bruising or swelling, this is a natural result of the process; micropigmentation pictures may also show slightly darker or more accentuated initial results than the final outcome. Looking at micropigmentation pictures of patients who used the same surgeon will give prospective patients an idea of that surgeon's style. The more micropigmentation pictures you view by the doctor you are considering, the better informed you will be as to that surgeon's technique.
