Who among us hasn't considered how we would look with cosmetic surgery? Chances are, if you are surfing the web for information, you are considering or are curious about how you would look after cosmetic surgery. Now, for those whose distance precludes a face-to-face consultation with Dr. Kotler, we are pleased to be able to offer Internet Imaging.
Considering having your eyes done? Let us show you how you'll look without dark circles, bags or excess skin. Thinking about how to get rid of wrinkles and sun-spots from years of sun exposure and smoking? We can show you how you'll look with undamaged and wrinkle-free skin. Curious how you will look without the bump on your nose?
Let us help you to visualize your cosmetic surgery results with Dr. Robert Kotler utilizing the latest computer imaging technology. After filling out a simple form, you email us your digital photos (front and profile shots). Then, using a highly sophisticated software program, we erase wrinkles, remove bags from under the eyes, sculpt the neck or chin line, narrow a nose and remove the bump and much more. Dr. Kotler will be able to show and tell you what he believes he (and you the patient,) can achieve based on his nearly 30 years of practice and thousands of cosmetic surgery procedures.
Have two photos taken of your self, one front view, and one exact profile. Tip: A digital camera is easiest, but a good quality non-digital camera is sufficient.
Make sure the photos extend from your collarbone to the top of your head (see example above). Tip: use a dark colored background such as blue or black.
Make sure to pull your hair away from your face and tuck your hair behind your ears (especially so for ear surgery patients). Also, pull your collar down enough to expose your neck (or wear a collarless shirt or blouse).
Make sure the lighting is not overly bright or too dark, either way will give us poor results.
A digital camera will save the photos into an e-mail ready format. Photos from a regular camera will have to be scanned into your computer (if you have a scanner) or taken to a copying or photo store (such as Kinkos or Office Depot) and saved to a diskette for you to load and send via e-mail. Be sure to tell them to they should be in a .bmp, .jpeg or .gif format (they will know what these are even if you are unfamiliar with these terms, just print out these instructions and take them with you).
Via U.S. mail: send your photos, e-mail address and desired procedure to our office.
Via this website: click here [send us your images] and use the attachment option on the e-mail editor to attach your saved images (you must have either uploaded your Images from your digital camera or scanned them into your computer to use this option). Be sure you note which directory and folder you saved your images to!
Via internet e-mail: prepare your e-mail as usual, then use the attachment option to attach the Image files and send it to our e-mail address: imaging@robertkotlermd.com
