"It's understood that many before and after pictures will not include the patients' faces."
What kind of pointless statement is this? What is "many"? And does that imply that "many," "most," or "only a few" pictures will include the patients' faces?
Photos of facial surgery are more likely to be identifiable (nose, cheeks, chin, lips, eyes/eyebrows) while photos of bodily surgery (breasts, arms, stomach, etc.) won’t include the patient’s face. Its probably up to the doctor’s photograph preference what types of facial photographs are identifiable and how close/far the zoom is when they take the picture.
