Breast Augmentation Implant Surgery Before and After Photos

Breast augmentation or breast implant surgery is one of the more customizable plastic surgery procedures. Once the patient has a clear understanding of the procedure, she can actively engage with the surgeon to make the right decisions related to the procedure. The surgeon may make use of breast augmentation implant surgery before and after photographs to facilitate the discussion process.

Board certified plastic surgeons at the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery provide breast augmentation and various other procedures to patients in Richmond, Virginia, and surrounding communities. During the pre-op consultation, the surgeon will educate the patient about the procedure and will also show before and after photographs.

What are Breast Augmentation Before and After Photographs?

Before and after photographs in case of breast augmentation implant plastic surgery refer to images belonging to an earlier patient who has received the same surgery with a satisfactory outcome. The images include pictures taken before the surgery and after the surgery at a time when the post-operative bruising and swelling has disappeared and full effects of the newly shaped breasts can be seen.

The surgeon will take care to obtain these photographs with the full consent of the patient and will present them before new patients in an appropriate and discreet way. The sole motive behind this exercise is to use these photographs as a visual aid to explain to new patients about what breast augmentation can or cannot do for them, and help them make the best decision.

Benefits 

Breast augmentation implant surgery will involve several decisions during the surgical planning such as the size and type of implants, the location of incisions, and the placement position of implants in the breast pocket. These decisions will have a bearing on the final outcome.

If the patient has access to breast augmentation implant surgery before and after photos, she will be in a much better position to visualize the effects of her decisions. This exercise will usually help to improve overall patient satisfaction levels and enable the plastic surgeon to meet the patient’s expectations more closely.

Having Realistic Expectations

While the results with breast implants can be fairly dramatic, it is important for the surgeon to ensure that the patient does not overestimate the outcome, and remains realistic about the overall improvement in her figure. This can be achieved when the surgeon encourages the patient to review as many breast augmentation implants surgery before and after photos as possible.

Once the patient knows what to expect and what not to expect from the surgery, she will be able to appreciate the final results more deeply. It will also mitigate the risk of any misunderstanding or disappointment occurring for the patient at a later stage. The Virginia Institute receives patients from Richmond, Virginia, and nearby areas for breast augmentation.

Photos on the Web

The surgeon has the choice to provide free access to before and after photos to all patients via their practice website and social media photo sharing accounts. Patients can conveniently review the photos online and then choose whether to go ahead with a personal breast augmentation consultation.

Digital technology is gateway to clarity. Digital technology has altered the landscape for so many industries and the plastic surgery sector is one of them. Website photos are used by businesses all over and plastic surgeons are certainly included in this group. Now you can see exactly what to expect for breast implant surgery which decreases the anxiety for patients of all types.

Now plastic surgeons do not have to spend so much time in meetings with patients since their outstanding and vivid website pictures can show a patient exactly what to expect in ways words could never do. Words cannot replace the quality of what website pictures bring to the table and neither can a brochure.
