Breast Augmentation Before and After Photos – Inland Empire | West Covina | San Gabriel Valley
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves surgical insertion of breast implant to enhance the size and volume of breasts. Sometimes breast implant surgery may use to improve the appearance of asymmetrical breasts or restore breasts following mastectomy. Dr. Daniel Lin is an experienced plastic surgeon providing breast surgery procedures, including breast augmentation to patients in West Covina, Inland Empire, San Gabriel Valley, Chino, Rowland Heights, Baldwin Park, Whittier, Brea, Arcadia and surrounding areas.
Breast Augmentation Before and After Photos
Breast augmentation ‘before and after’ images refer to a set of photographs of a previous patient who has undergone the procedure. The images include pictures taken prior to the surgery as well as after the surgery at different stages. For a new patient, these pictures can provide a fairly clear idea of what the breast augmentation procedure can or cannot do for them. Patients may also review before and after photos of other procedures such as breast lift or a combination of breast augmentation with lift.

During the initial cosmetic surgery consultation, the surgeon can make use of these photos to explain various aspects of the breast augmentation procedure. The goal of the surgeon is to educate the patient as far as possible about the procedure so that she is in a position to make an informed decision about the treatment. As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Lin ensures that his patients in and around West Covina, Inland Empire, and San Gabriel Valley have an opportunity to review before and after images at the time of the initial consultation.
Choosing Appropriate Breast Implants
The success in breast augmentation surgery depends to an extent on the right choice of breast implants. Both saline and silicone gel based implants are approved by the FDA. These implants are available in different sizes, shapes, and textures. Many patients are unsure whether to opt for round shaped or tear shaped implants, and what may be the most appropriate size to match with their aesthetic goals. With the help of breast augmentation before and after pictures, it may also be possible to make a better informed choice regarding the type, size, and the shape of the implants.
Realistic Expectations
A plastic surgeon will strive to ensure that the patient forms realistic expectations about breast augmentation. If the patient misunderstands what the procedure can or cannot do for her, it may result in disappointment later on at the time of final results. Even if the procedure is very successful, but it may fail to satisfy the patient if she had unrealistic expectations from it. Before and after photos serve as an effective visual tool to help ensure that the patient has a clear idea and rational expectations from the surgery.
Online Photos at the Surgeon’s Website
Before and after photographs can also be provided online to the patients through the surgeon’s website. A potential patient who may be undecided about the cosmetic surgery procedure may access the photos on the website from the comfort of her home or office even before visiting the surgeon personally for a consultation.
