Breast augmentation currently ranks as the number one procedure performed by a cosmetic surgeon in the US, according to ASPS figures.
At the time of initial consultation, the breast surgeon will discuss all aspects of the surgery with the patient and help her make an informed choice. Sometimes the surgeon may also present breast augmentation before and after photographs during the first appointment.
In any case, the first concern of a responsible surgeon will be to educate the patient about the benefits and limitations of the procedure and determine its suitability for the patient. Naples Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Kiran Gill, provides breast augmentation to patients in Naples, Marco Island, South Florida, and nearby locations across the landscape.
What is Breast Augmentation Before and After Pictures?
Before and after pictures in case of breast augmentation surgery refer to a set of images pertaining to a previous patient who has undergone the same procedure with good results.
The set includes images taken before the surgery and after the surgery at a stage when the post-operative bruising and swelling has been eliminated, the incision lines have faded, and full effects of breast implant surgery are visible. It may take several months or up to a year when such “after” pictures are taken.
The cosmetic surgeon will ensure that these photographs are obtained with the patient’s consent, and presented before new patients in a discreet manner.
The patient’s identity is generally not disclosed with the photos. The only purpose of the surgeon here is to utilize the photos as a visual aid to educate new patients about what a breast augmentation surgery can or cannot do for them.
The salient aspect about this topic is digital technology. Digital technology enables these pictures to be shown to anyone with Internet access. With the Internet being as omnipresent as it is in the modern day, it is not hard for anyone to see these pictures before even making one phone call.
Most people already pay for the Internet anyway and these can evaluate these pictures and apply them to themselves. This means that a patient is far more educated on what to expect before they even schedule a consultation.
This means that any patient will be more at ease with their decision because they know pretty much what to expect. Years ago, this was not the case. Gone are the days when a patient had to rely on some vague brochure to make a pivotal decision.
The power that the average person has because of these outstanding before and after pictures is noteworthy.
Benefits
When a woman is considering a breast enhancement surgery, she may feel unsure about how exactly the procedure will improve her breast appearance and whether the results will be proportionate and natural looking. The size and shape of implants may vary from one patient to another. In some cases, the surgeon may recommend breast lift in combination with breast augmentation.
In all cases, the patient will be better placed to make the right decisions when she knows exactly how each option may affect her breast appearance. This is where breast augmentation before and after photos can be useful.
Being Realistic
An experienced breast surgeon may present before and after photos at the first appointment which is certainly the case here. Dr. Gill believes in full transparency and is not afraid at all at showing anyone the surgical acumen she possesses.
This helps to ensure that the patient has no misplaced notions about the potential results with this surgery as already mentioned. Some women may review attractive photos online or in celebrity magazines, and may hope to attain a similar figure.
With breast augmentation before and after photos, they will have a fair idea of what to expect and what not to expect from the surgery. This mitigates the chances of any disappointment occurring at a later stage when it may be too late to retract from the procedure. Women with realistic expectations will typically attain higher satisfaction levels from the surgery.
