A very frequent request for potential breast augmentation patients is that they would like to see breast augmentation photos/pictures of my results. I find patients reviewing before and after breast augmentation photos to be extremely educational for them and I insist that they do so. I refer to them to either by practice website, http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com/breast-aug.html or Mentor’s excellent website Love Your Look where a sampling of my patient gallery is availble for review. On these sites are hunreds of before and after breast augmentation pictures using a wide variety of breast implants sizes of either saline-filled or silicone (gummy bear) composition.
While no patient result seen can be exactly reproduced on another patient, before and after pictures do give some estimation of breast size and what is possible. It also clearly shows, if the breast augmentation photos are examined carefully, that breast implants do a great job of adding volume and size but are limited in changing other breast variables such as nipple size and position and the amount of spacing between the breasts.
