At Lake Forest Plastic Surgery, we respect and value a prospective patient's ability to make decisions regarding potential plastic surgery procedures for themselves, which is why we post so many "before-and-after" photo sets, for almost every type of procedure Dr. Steinwald performs. It is our belief that the more competent, confident and honest a plastic surgeon is, the more likely he or she is to show a representative array of results, to help a patient know what to generally expect. The opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of what is realistically possible in any one surgeon's hands - largely through review of "before-and-after" photos, at your pace - is a critical step in the preoperative education, empowerment and decision-making process, and you shouldn't be denied that opportunity.

"I looked at before and after photos of surgeons all over the country and the ones Dr. Steinwald posted were equal or better. This confirmed my decision to stay at Lake Forest for my surgery. I am extremely pleased with the results."

– Julie, abdominoplasty surgery

Confidence (in Us) Before, Confidence (in Yourself) After...

In these photos, you can see the results of Dr. Steinwald's many years of training and experience, as well as the cumulative effect of the dozens of seemingly minor decisions and efforts he makes during each individual case to optimize patient outcomes. Not only are several variations on a procedure type shown here, but many body types/"starting points" are also represented. Click on the procedure categories for a list of all the patient photos available in that category, and a photo set itself to see more (standardized) views of that particular case, as well as surgeon's comments where appropriate. Finally, we want to thank the many prior Lake Forest Plastic Surgery patients who have wished to help educate prospective future patients by graciously providing their consent to appear in this photo gallery.
