Photos on web sites are highly selected to be the ones that look good in pictures.  Not every patient is made to look so perfect.  Some patients request implants that give them a fake look but since they are not "normal" they are not shown on the web site.  This result has very little to do with the surgeon and mostly to do with the the patients selection.  As you view before and after photos you have to realize that most of the result is dependent on the size of the implant in relation to the person's features.

Many times a patient will be very happy with the results but their photos are not shown because other people would not think it is right by looking at the picture.

Best Wishes
