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.

At least she is smiling. This lady obviously has breast implants. Her right breast may or may not have a postoperative hematoma (bleeding around the implant) but this is how that would look. More likely, she has a severe capsular contracture (abnormal formation of scar tissue around the implant). Either way, if the goal was to give her natural appearing breasts, that did not happen. The good news is, a problem like this has a very high chance of success, with the proper corrective operation. Hopefully, today she is happy with 2 symmetrical breasts.

Breast Asymmetry. The most common cause for late term breast asymmetry (i.e. right ≠ left) is the development of a capsule contracture ("CC"). Over time, all breast implants will develop an enveloping shell of scar tissue; that is to be expected. Fortunately, in most women, this scar tissue remains paper-thin, soft & supple; they are completely unaware of it. However, in a small percentage of women, this scar tissue can slowly thicken, distorting the shape and feel of the naked breast. As you can see from these 2 examples of women who presumably have this problem, their left breasts have much more upper fullness than the right. Likely the left breasts are also firmer. This situation can develop in a single breast or both. There has been some success in softening the breast tissue with non-surgical means; but in most women, revisive surgery is recommended.

Breast Shape. The top half of the breasts are commonly referred to as the "upper pole". Some women want the look shown with the Left Photo, where there is much fullness (a convexity). These breasts look like the woman is wearing a push-up bra, when she is obviously braless. It is apparent this woman has implants, and that is exactly the look some women seek. These women have told me, "If I am going to pay big money for this surgery, I darn well don't want anyone wondering if I had surgery." Other women prefer the more natural look as shown in the Right Photo. Note the upper pole of the breast has a more natural concave contour. These women will confide in me, "I want people to wonder, 'Did she?'"

What I call "Goldie Locks Boobs" Not too big. Not too small. Juuust right.

This image I saved from the Fashion pages of The Kansas City Star. This supermodel obviously struggles with an embarrassing problem common to many women. Regardless of how large or small a woman’s breasts, the tail of the breast (that portion nearest the underarm) can be over-developed and bulge out when wearing certain sleeveless or halter fashions. For women suffering with this bit of anatomy, it can limit your choice in attire. Fortunately, this is a situation easily remedied by surgery.

Why??? I can give you beautiful breasts. What you choose to do with them after that is up to you.
RC 47, 50 & 51
Three more fabulous results. These women have all the boxes checked. Cleavage that is not boxy, but "kisses". No visible wrinkles, good symmetry, no apparent capsule contracture, fabulous upper pole fullness and a little side boob which can only accentuate a slim waist.
