Should I Bring Pictures of My Ideal Outcome to My Breast Implant Consultation Appointment?

Absolutely! It really does help let me know what you think is a good size for a woman and for you. I even like to see pictures of breasts you DON’T like! That also tells me something. I my practice I keep a few special edition magazines from Playboy (“Nudes” and “Lingerie”) and they have many more women than the standard monthly and in all sizes. A great reference tool! And on occasion I have had a patient drag in her girlfriend, point at her, and say “I want those”!!!

consults will vary but photos may be helpful to let the doctor know what you think is a good and realistic size and result.

remember it is a photo and your body may be very different.  

This can be tricky, but is a good idea as long as you keep a few things in mind.  The "after" photo is certainly useful in explaining to your surgeon what kind of result you want.

The "before" photo, though, in many ways is more important.  You should select an example that looks like you, because if this is not the case, then it may be difficult or impossible to get that "after" result in the photo you like so much.

Remember, a breast augmentation is just that...an enhanced version of your own breast.
