Choose a detail you can name
Instead of bringing a folder labeled “ideal face,” write one sentence under each useful image. Examples include a modest upper-lip outline, a smoother bridge silhouette or a particular chin profile. Identify which part you are referring to and which features you do not want to change.
Separate the detail from the presentation. Makeup, head angle, facial expression and lighting can be part of what appeals to you. If you cannot identify the feature independently of those effects, keep the image as a question rather than a target.
Compare similar views without inventing missing information
Use a front-facing source when discussing a front outline and a side profile when discussing a silhouette. A front photo cannot reveal an unseen profile. Two attractive views also do not establish one achievable result.
Our multi-view comparison guide explains why separate AI images are not a validated 3D model. For your own notes, keep the camera view beside the request so you remember what each photograph actually shows.
Translate inspiration into a request on your own portrait
Explore slightly more upper-lip fullness on my own photo. Preserve the lower lip, mouth width, expression, skin texture and all other features.
This is a visual brief, not an instruction to copy a reference person. PlastyAI’s photo workflow starts with your uploaded portrait and a written request; this guide does not promise a separate reference-image matching feature. Describe the detail in words and read the proposed plan before approving a generation.
Keep the original as the baseline. If you create a revision, do not mistake a changed smile or a new camera angle for better adherence to the brief. Use the before-and-after checklist to inspect the output.
Bring questions alongside the image
Prepare three notes: what you like, what the image changed that you did not request, and what you want to ask the clinician. “I like this bridge outline; is that relevant to my anatomy?” is a question. “This must be my result” is a claim a generated image cannot support.
Label any AI image clearly and include its original. Avoid presenting it as an actual surgical before-and-after or an example of a clinician’s work. The consultation checklist covers the broader discussion; a picture cannot replace an examination or establish suitability.
