[edit] before and after photos

I know several surgeons -- with whom I have no connection -- who would be willing to sign over an excellent before-and-after picture of a body shaping patient if they could have a photo credit that links back to their website. What is the policy on that?Charles.Downey 20:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

As long as they are happy to freely and completely release the image for any use (not just Wikipedia's), yes, that's fine - Wikipedia's GFDL requirement provides for this, an ensures that attribution is retained (although not rights). Proto 10:33, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

If one picture is worth 1,000 words.....etc. etc. etc. copyright released picture coming. 72.87.184.200 02:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What about natural skin regeneration?

Some people claim that unnatural methods of losing weight cause abnormal body fat/lean mass composition. They say that a person who loses additional fat rather than lean muscle mass such that they get to low body fat percentages would lose the excess skin. Is this possible, has it been studied (obviously there is less ability to make money from people naturally regenerating then making them believe they have to have even more surgery), and if so why is there no section on alternatives? 69.252.158.32 00:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
