1. If it's so clear that the "before and after" picture is of not one but
two women, what is the intention behind it being restored? I know the
answers could very well be guessestimates at best at this point, but how can
we figure this out?
2. If the picture is showing results of a non-medical procedure, it should
be stated as such. I remember accessing Wikipedia several times throughout
my teenaged years; we cannot expect all of our readers to be an adult with a
better understanding of anatomy.
