Providing Dr. Ratliff with images of yourself may help him determine the results you can expect from your surgery, even before you arrive in Tulsa.

You may send digital images to Dr. Ratliff via the Internet or send photographs to Plastic Surgery Center of Tulsa. Follow the instructions below to learn more about getting your images to Dr. Ratliff.

Getting Your Pictures to Us

If you use a digital camera, you may upload your photos to us in either JPG or GIF format, using the Preconsultation Form. If you do not have access to a digital camera, or if you would rather not send the digital images via e-mail, you may print the images out and send them to Plastic Surgery Center of Tulsa, 2107 East 15th Street Tulsa, OK 74104. Please be sure to include your name, age, a complete description of your surgical goals, and contact information.

Taking the Picture

We recommend you have your picture taken against a solid color background, preferably white. A light-colored wall with no decorations works well, or you may want to hang up a sheet and use it as a backdrop.

For breast augmentation surgery, make sure your breasts and the upper part of your body are not shadowed. You may need to bring in a lamp or an additional light source to balance the light in the area. Also make sure there is not a strong light source behind the background or backdrop against which you are having your picture taken. Your body should be well lit, but not so bright that your image begins to washout in the photograph.

To get the most detailed image, you will need to remove your bra and other clothing from the waist up. Do not slouch or thrust your chest forward. Arms should be at your sides. Take a vertical photograph, framing from your neck to just above your pelvis. Make sure to capture your entire upper body, including everything but your face. We need a picture taken from the front and then one from each side.

Always take more than one shot in each position so you can select the best image.
