Should we post overly honest "before and after" photos?

Hello everyone. I want to ask my peers, who have experience, how do you feel about real before-and-after photos, with no embellishments? I'm currently in this internal dilemma.

Earlier, I tried to make them look good. Better lighting, the patient smiling, ensuring everything looks neat. Of course, I didn't use Photoshop, but I aimed for a presentable look. Recently, I decided to show things as they are. The patient post-procedure, you can see redness, the skin is slightly swollen, it's just a normal reaction.

And then people start asking what’s going on, why it looks like that, and if it's normal at all. And I begin to doubt whether I posted it in vain. But this is life, this is a work moment. We don’t perform miracles; we work with people, and everyone's skin is different, and reactions can vary.

On the other hand, people on Instagram are used to an ideal picture. Everything is smooth, with no blemishes or swelling. Then they come and say they want to look like the photo. But that’s not how it works.

In short, I don’t know. Share how you handle it. Do you show the whole truth, or do you pick something prettier? I'm really interested in hearing the opinions of my colleagues.
