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.

The Falling Breast. If you study the profile shape of this breast, you can imagine how the weight of her breast is pulling down on the upper portion of her breast skin causing the breast to slowly develop ptosis or pseudo-ptosis over time (described elsewhere). Though this does not happen in all women, those considering large implants should take this into consideration.

One of the most iconic Hollywood moments ever captured on film (1957). There is no denying, whether a gift from God or your plastic surgeon, large breasts give some women confidence... and intimidation. As this photo of Sophia Loren (left) and Jayne Mansfield pre-dated the first silicone breast implant surgery by 5 years, one must assume plastic surgery was not the talk of the table.

"Side boobs". This well-known model shows precisely the side-boob look many desire. Note the side of her breasts extends beyond her chest wall. Many women tell me they find this a sensual look and feel. To create this, a woman will need a wider diameter implant. Such an implant should also give tighter cleavage and more upper breast fullness.

Profile. What profile of breast do you want? A naked breast typically has a "teardrop" shape, with a slight concavity from the upper chest to the nipple. In a push-up bra, this becomes much fuller giving the upper breast a convexity or "S" shape. Some women want their naked breasts to have a more natural profile; others want the fuller (unnatural?) upper pole as in this photo.

No doubt big implants can give luscious breasts with great cleavage and a curvaceous figure, but as you can see from this photo, as larger implants are heavier, it is difficult to maintain fullness of the upper breast... especially if the woman chooses to rarely wear a support bra.

One common mistake many plastic surgeons make when placing large breast implants is lowering the attachment of the breast to the chest wall. Indeed, this will create a larger pocket to place the implant, but over time the heavier implant can continue to drop lower and lower causing loss of upper breast fullness, too much fullness of the lower breast and often malposition of the nipple.
