BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOGRAPHS OF ACTUAL PATIENTS

Patient 1 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 22
Implant: Smooth Saline, 325cc
Placement: Submuscular
Incision: Periareolar
Post-op photos taken at: 4 months
Estimated cup size change: A to C

Patient 2 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 22
Implant: Mentor Saline, 350cc
Post-op photos taken at: 8 months
Estimated cup size change: A to mid C

Patient 3 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 28
Implant: Mentor Saline, 425cc
Placement: Submuscular
Post-op photos taken at: 6 months
Estimated cup size change: B to small D

Patient 4 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 25
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 125
Implant: Smooth Saline
Implant Size: 525cc
Post-op photos taken at: 8 months
Estimated cup size change: Full A to D
Notes: This is a fairly large volume implant in a girl with a relatively narrow upper torso. You will tend to see more roundness in the upper part of the breast with this implant volume/patient frame combination. This patient specified having this particular look.

Patient 5 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 27
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 107
Implant: Smooth Saline
Implant Size: 350cc
Post-op photos taken at: 7 months
Estimated cup size change: A to C
Notes: This patient is obviously very petite, and her goal was to achieve nice improvement in fullness without the appearance of looking like she had a breast augmentation. In this case, I was able to create a very natural appearance, yet provide her with ample volume. Especially note the angle and side view with respect to the natural sloping of the breasts.

Patient 6 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 24
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 114
Implant: Smooth Saline
Implant Size: 375cc
Post-op photos taken at: 6 months
Estimated cup size change: AA to Mid C
Notes: This patient is quite tall and very thin. She was interested in going as full as she could, while still looking fairly natural. She had indicated to me pre-operatively that she did not mind a slight hint of roundness in the upper part of her breasts. Given her very narrow/long upper torso, I was able to place fairly generous volume implants (for her frame), and still obtain a fairly natural look (Note angled and side views again).

Patient 7 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 24
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 104
Implant: Saline Smooth Round
Implant Size: 300cc
Post-op photos taken at: 10 months
Estimated cup size change: A to Full B
Notes: This is the type of patient that poses some challenge pre-operatively, in that she has almost no lower part of the breast to begin with. I had to basically create her inframammary fold (lower breast crease). She obviously wanted to go very conservative, as she did not want the appearance of having a breast augmentation.

Patient 8 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 25
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 118
Implant: Saline Smooth Round
Implant Size: 475cc
Post-op photos taken at: 12 months
Estimated cup size change: A to Small D
Notes: This patient wanted a very full and fairly round type of result. She has some asymmetry pre-operatively which I was able to correct fairly well. Although the implant is fairly generous in volume, the side and angle view still demonstrate a fairly “natural slope” to the upper part of the breast. The patient made it very clear that she did not want the “shelf-like” appearance of the upper part of the breast that she had commonly seen in women with breast implants.

Patient 9 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 24
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 125
Implant: Saline Smooth Round
Implant Size: 340cc
Post-op photos taken at: 9 months
Estimated cup size change: A to C
Notes: This patient not only had asymmetry (her right breast was smaller and higher than the left breast pre-operatively), but notice the wide gap that the patient had between her breasts pre-operatively. I actually was very pleased with this post-operative result, given her significant pre-operative asymmetry. She was particularly pleased with the fact that I was able to create enough natural cleavage so that the breasts did not seem that there were so far apart.

Patient 10 - Breast Augmentation - Actual Patient
The same "before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients

Age: 26
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 119
Implant: Saline Smooth Round
Implant Size: 450cc
Post-op photos taken at: 12 months
Estimated cup size change: A to C
Notes: Notice in this patient's preoperative photo that her right breast has a somewhat shortened medial pole --ie. somewhat flatter and shorter toward the middle. I was able to correct this by creating the pocket for the implant slightly larger in this direction of the breast. I think, in general, that this patient has an excellent natural, yet full shape postoperatively. She was very specific about wanting a very natural slope to the upper part of the breast.
