5 Reasons Cosmetic Surgeons Are Using ImageAssist to Elevate Patient Care & Practice Efficiency
For cosmetic surgeons, clinical photography is more than just documentation—it’s an essential tool for tracking patient progress, enhancing consultations, and showcasing results. However, traditional photography methods can be inconsistent, expensive, and time-consuming.
That’s why leading cosmetic surgery practices are switching to ImageAssist, the HIPAA-secure, ASPS-guideline-based, and cost-effective solution designed by plastic surgeons, for plastic surgeons.
Whether you’re performing facelifts, rhinoplasty, body contouring, or non-surgical procedures, ImageAssist helps ensure consistent, professional-quality photos—without the overhead or hassle.
Here’s how cosmetic surgeons are leveraging ImageAssist to optimize workflows and improve patient experiences.
1. Effortless, Consistent Photography—For Any Staff Member
In many cosmetic surgery practices, photography duties fall on various team members, leading to inconsistent results. ImageAssist eliminates this problem with SmartFrames™ technology, which guides users in real time to capture standardized before-and-after images.
✔ Perfect alignment every time—frame turns red to green when the patient is positioned correctly
✔ Designed for face and body procedures, from rhinoplasty to liposuction
✔ No need for costly photography training—any team member can take perfect clinical photos
By eliminating variability, ImageAssist saves time, improves accuracy, and ensures a professional, polished visual record for every patient.
2. Built on ASPS Standardized Guidelines – Patent-Pending Technology
ImageAssist isn’t just another photo app—it’s designed specifically for cosmetic surgery practices, incorporating American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) photographic standards to ensure clinical precision and reliability.
✔ 100+ SmartFrames covering all facial and body areas for standardized imaging
✔ Developed with plastic surgeons in mind—ensuring every image meets industry best practices
✔ Patent-pending AI technology that optimizes accuracy and consistency
With ImageAssist, you get a surgical-grade approach to clinical photography, ensuring that every image meets professional standards.

3. HIPAA-Secure, Cloud-Based Photo Storage
One of the biggest risks of using an iPhone or iPad camera roll for clinical photos is mixing personal and patient images—creating a serious compliance and security issue. ImageAssist eliminates this risk with HIPAA-compliant cloud storage, ensuring:
✔ Patient photos are always secure and separate from personal galleries
✔ Easy search and organization by patient name, procedure, or date
✔ Effortless sharing & EMR integration—securely export images to Epic or HIPAA-compliant drives
This not only keeps your practice compliant but also streamlines record-keeping and workflow efficiency.
4. Incubated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC)
ImageAssist isn’t just a software solution—it’s a product of real-world clinical experience. Developed at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), ImageAssist was created to solve the exact challenges faced by cosmetic and plastic surgeons.
✔ Tested & refined in a top-tier medical institution
✔ Built by plastic surgeons, for plastic surgeons
✔ Designed to fit seamlessly into any cosmetic practice
This level of credibility and expertise makes ImageAssist the trusted choice for surgeons who demand the best in clinical photography.
5. A Powerful Marketing & Patient Communication Tool
Before-and-after photos aren’t just for medical documentation—they’re one of your most valuable marketing tools. High-quality, standardized photos help:
✔ Build trust with new patients by showing consistent, professional results
✔ Strengthen consultations by visually guiding patients through their transformation journey
✔ Enhance practice branding with high-quality imagery that reflects your expertise
Unlike outdated or expensive photography solutions, ImageAssist gives you all these benefits at less than half the cost of competitors.
