MANDATORY FACE PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION

The uploaded user image must be used as the only facial reference. Preserve exact identity in both the child and adult versions. The toddler must clearly look like a realistic younger version of the uploaded person. Do not replace, redesign, or reinterpret the face. The final result should immediately feel like the same person at two different stages of life.
