Why Do "After" Photos of Breast Augmentation Always Have Tan Lines?

It seems like so many of the "after" photos of women with implants have the same pattern... a formerly pale lady now has really noticeable bikini tan lines! How common is this trend with your patients?

Pictures and Tan Lines after Breast Augmentation

Typically, after breast augmentation or any cosmetic surgery, if the patient feels good, there may be a tan in the area of augmentation. I do not ask patients to get a tan, but, if they have one at the time of postoperative photographs, I do not tell the patient to return when pale. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
