Why are the after pictures modifying attributes that are not part of the cosmetic adjustment? For instance, in the 'after' images skin tones are more "tan" (less pale), eye shadow is more intense, in one scene the woman is smiling vs not. All of these subtle cues make it artificially look like the cosmetic adjustment is "better" - just like all of those junk weight loss, age reversal, and muscle building before/after ads.

I actually see the value in your idea, but it looks like it still needs work to be trustworthy.

Personally, I would only trust it after seeing several 'ground truth comparisons of predicted results compared to the actual photos of people who had the procedure done.

Okay, I've noticed that, and I will improve on it. Thank you so much for your feedback.
No reply - so this is just an ad then vice a genuine solicitation for peer feedback?
