Disclaimer:
The purpose of this page is NOT to publicly shame. Rather, if you are considering breast surgery for the first time, this may help define your objectives.
If you think you may have an unsatisfactory result from previous surgery, you are not alone. I may be able to help you.
As you peruse these photos, understand rarely will I reveal my personal tastes in breast shape and cup size. What I will tell you is whether your goals are achievable and safe. I will tell you if I believe you already have a beautiful result or have a deformity which could be improved. I will tell you if there is a problem and what can possibly be done to fix it. I will rarely say you should select a different size of implant... unless safety is a concern. That you will decide following a lengthy consultation, typically by trying on many different implants in the privacy of our office. As with any elective cosmetic surgery, realistic expectations are paramount for this to be a rewarding experience.
I am selective on whom I operate and will not hesitate to refer you elsewhere if that is in your best interest. I only agree to operate, when I am convinced I can deliver the best results. If you're not happy, I am not happy.
Every patient I operate, regardless of station in life, is treated with complete respect and anonymity.
I am not revealing whether any of these Red Carpet women have sought my professional services; or what, if any, plastic surgery they may have had. All of these images are in the public domain.

And here is just such and example. This photo shows that a woman who is just as thin as the previous three, can completely change her entire feminine profile with (presumably) just a breast augmentation. Yes, when performed correctly, even small implants can give beautiful side boobs

Unnatural Result. This woman has a couple unfortunate problems. First, the photo would suggest all the telltale signs of below average breast surgery. As she is braless, a natural breast should have a more concave upper profile and rounded lower shape (i.e. teardrop). As shown by the curved red lines, her upper breast is convex and lower breast is concave. Neither is proper. This most likely reflects the implant being placed beneath the pectoralis muscle and/or distortion from capsule contracture. The breasts just look firm and unnatural. The reader is referred to another page on my website where I discuss both these situations in more detail. Also, note the arrow pointing to the unsightly surgical scar beneath the breast... not good. This lady deserved better.

Fabulous result. This is the reason many women want larger implants. Great curves and tight cleavage where the breasts "kiss". Obviously, she does not have a hint of capsule contracture.

Thin Women. There are many unique considerations in performing breast augmentation in thin women. With precious little natural breast tissue and fat, any wrinkle in the implant will show through the skin. I will say to new patients (in jest) you can almost read the implant serial number through your skin. All of the women shown have extraordinarily thin pectoralis muscles, thus placing the implants behind the muscle will not provide much additional padding; and still carries the additional problems of retro-pectoral implant placement (implant movement, lack of natural shape, etc.). Rule of thumb: As the size of implant goes up, so does the risk of complications, this is especially true in thin women. Thus, in thin women, "less can be more". In my opinion, all of these women would get beautiful results, even if only selecting a 1 cup size implant.

"Boxy" Cleavage. To many, this look is not unappealing, but is typical of the result of placing implants behind the pectoralis muscle (retro-pectoral). I will gladly place implants behind the muscle if that is the informed decision of my patient, but it is easier to get tight cleavage when implants are placed in front of the muscle. The first example has decent cleavage. The next 2 (in my opinion)... not so good.

Again, women don't have to have large breasts to have a sexy curvaceous figure.
